137 IMBALLAGGI ALIMENTARI FOOD-AND-DRINK • PASTRY • GELATO With its Box Gel brand, Imballaggi Alimentari, founded some twenty years ago, is a leading player in the food packing sector. Box Gel is a complete line of articles able to satisfy the demands of any gelato outlet. For gelato takeaways, the range includes seven models of different shapes, ranging from the more classic rectangular ones such as Kristalgel and Sunnygel, to the ovals of the Trendygel line, and the innovative, unorthodox shapes of the latest creation, Easygel, available in different sizes (holding 1 litre and 1 kilo) and colours (white, orange, yellow, green and black). In the manufacturing stage the company pays meticulous attention to aspects such as thermal resistance, hygiene and the wrapping of the product. The perfect closing of the bottom and the cover mean that the Box Gel containers are thermally per- fect, thanks also to the particular crystallisation technique used in the manufacture, which in addition avoids the formation of mould. Hygiene is guaranteed by the high temperatures at which they are manufactured (180ºC), and by wrapping them in small bags containing twenty boxes already fitted with a courtesy veil and with an easy peel tab. For takeaways of gelato cakes and semifreddi the company has devised exclusive isothermal boxes with the Flat-Pack system, with extremely small volumes but with high thermal performance, and which, thanks to the practical interiors, can also be adapted to mono- portions; while for gelati on a stick, the range includes Stick Box. These two different isothermal boxes can both be personalised. Four generic decorations are available, which provide gelato outlets with the opportunity to select a single image for everything, from cups to bags to holdalls. AN ORIGINAL BRAND OF PACKING BOXES
