Klöckner Pentaplast launches kp Infinity® HP3, its largest and most robust
Hotpacs® yet
Klöckner Pentaplast (kp), a global leader in rigid and flexible packaging and specialty film solutions, has launched the kp Infinity® HP3, the largest and most rigid addition to its award-winning Hotpacs® range.
Developed in response to customer demand, the HP3 is purpose-built for hearty, generous portions of food-to-go that have stretched existing formats to their limits – until now. Manufactured in the UK, the HP3 supports operators seeking locally made, reliable packaging solutions.
Foodservice operators serving loaded fish and chips, burgers and chips, jacket potatoes, and popular Asian noodle-based dishes require a bigger, more robust pack; one that can handle the larger portions and varied textures that make these dishes such firm favourites with consumers. The HP3 is kp's answer.

The HP3 is kp's answer.
Like all kp Infinity® Hotpacs® packaging, the HP3 is manufactured from Expanded Polypropylene (EPP), a recyclable material not subject to the UK's ban on EPS/XPS single-use foodservice packaging. Its monopolymer construction means it is recyclable in existing PP waste streams, and every pack carries prominent, embossed 'Recycle Me' messaging to guide consumers at point of disposal.
Recycling code 5 on every unit confirms compliance and recyclability at a glance. By producing the HP3 in the UK, kp further supports national recycling efforts and shortens supply chains for foodservice operators.
The performance credentials of HP3 are as strong as ever. It keeps food more than 10°C hotter than alternative packaging solutions, while its exterior stays cool and comfortable to handle. It is naturally waterproof and resistant to hot oils, acids and alkalis; critical properties for the loaded and often sauce-based dishes the HP3 is designed to carry. It is also microwaveable, giving consumers the added convenience of reheating at home.
"The kp Infinity® Hotpacs® range was built on listening to what the foodservice market actually needs. The HP3 is the clearest example yet of that principle in action” said Austin Schwarz, Sales Director, UK&I at kp Food Packaging.
“Our customers are telling us they need a larger, tougher pack for some of the most-loved dishes on today's menus. We’ve designed exactly that, without compromising on recyclability, performance, or the quality that kp customers expect. And by producing the HP3 here in the UK, we can deliver this solution with speed, assurance and a reduced environmental footprint."
The kp Infinity® Hotpacs® HP3 is available for delivery at the end of April through kp's network of distributors and wholesalers, offering operators a compliant, high-performance, fully recyclable solution built for the realities of today's foodservice market.
