Food is essential for our survival and well-being. Whether we are travelling for business or pleasure, it is always preferable to pack our own food rather than rely on outside sources. However, packing food can be tricky, especially when it is hot or liquid. To ensure freshness and hygiene, food of all kinds, from rotis to curries, needs to be properly sealed. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the best food packaging options and the ones to avoid. Asahi Kasei offers a range of food packaging products that are ideal for storing and serving food items such as sandwiches, pastries, and other baked goods. These products are not only reliable but also enhance the appearance of any delicious food item!

Asahi Kasei products will transform the way you cook and store food, saving you time in the kitchen, making it healthier, and increasing your storage possibilities. The following food storage options from Asahi Kasei are indispensable in any kitchen.
Premium Wrap
The Asahi Kasei Premium Wrap is a cling wrap. Cling wrap is a thin film that is used to seal and secure food items. It is also known as plastic wrap or cling film. Unlike ordinary cling wraps, the Asahi Kasei Premium Wrap is famous for its premium quality and food-grade material (PVDC), which prevents chemicals from leaching into your food. The cling wrap preserves the freshness of food for longer by preventing it from being exposed to oxygen in the air. To keep sandwiches, meats, fruits, and vegetables fresh for longer periods of time, cover them with the Asahi Kasei cling film. You don’t have to remove it when you want to reheat the food in the microwave, as it can resist heat up to 140°C. It is also freezer-safe. It has a built-in cutter that makes it easy to use.
Cooking Sheet
The Asahi Kasei Cooking Sheet is a high-quality parchment paper that is coated with silicone on both sides, making it greaseproof and water-resistant. This parchment/baking paper works well as a food wrapper even though it is designed to line a baking tray. It does not stick to food, so you can wrap food without creating a mess. It is perfect for wrapping anything from rotis and butter naan to burgers, wraps, and sandwiches. These parchment paper sheets can also be used to serve chicken wings, fish and chips, and other items by simply placing them under the food to absorb oil. They also look good. You can also use it to wrap hot items and put them in the microwave without any problems as it is safe for temperatures up to 250°C. It also comes with an in-built cutter.
Frying Pan Foil
The Asahi Kasei Frying Pan Foil is a silicone-coated aluminium foil that can be used in various ways. Its main purpose is to enable us to cook delicious meals with little or no oil. Aluminium foil is also useful for wrapping food. It is ideal for the long-term storage of perishable foods and dairy products. Just make sure the silicone-coated side touches the food as it has a silicone coating on one side. Aluminium foil has a barrier effect that prevents oxygen, moisture, and other odours from escaping. This helps you package your food and retain the flavour. Aluminium is a great material for food packaging as it can withstand high temperatures. Like the first two products, the aluminium foil also has a built-in cutter.
Zipper Bag
Zipper bags are one of the most common types of food storage bags and can be used to store almost anything in the fridge or freezer, such as vegetables, fruits, meat, milk, snacks, and leftover food. These are bags made of BPA-free, food-grade LDPE with a zipper-locked mouth. The Asahi Kasei Zipper bags keep food fresh and edible for a long time. It facilitates transportation while preserving the food’s nutrients and quality. It is non-toxic and biodegradable. The airtight containers also help prevent liquid spillage, mould growth, and odours. It does not affect the nutritional value of the food and is chemical-free. Additionally, it keeps the fridge and freezer shelves organised.
