A novel container for the catering industry won an Alufoil Trophy 2007 for Firestar AG. 'NALCO'  is a new deep-drawn alufoil container and printed multilayer lid for a safety fuel paste used in catering to heat products such as fondues.

Based in Switzerland, Firestar’s lightweight container and flexo-printed multilayer lid (30mµ ALU/30mµ LDPE) provide excellent sealing characteristics to produce a lightweight refillable container. The packs are stackable and can be produced in variety of sizes and combustion times.

Leuthold Mechanik, of Switzerland, manufactures the deep-drawn containers in cooperation with Process Point Services Lichtenstein. H.Rychiger, of Switzerland, designed the filling line to the strict guidelines required for filling flammable materials. The lids, which are manufactured by Hueck Folien, of Germany, feature a clever pull tab opening section that was particularly praised by the judging panel.
