String, the food-grade silicone lanyards for cooking en papillote
String are the food-grade silicone lanyards by Decorfood Italy: a decorated pack of 50 pieces in the transparent version, heat resistant up to 280 °C, washable and reusable. Designed to close parcels made with Carta Fata cooking paper, they combine a precise technical function with a clean design that enhances every presentation.
What are String lanyards
String is part of the Carta Fata system created by Decorfood Italy. They are food-grade silicone ties designed to close and bind: they hold together parcels, bags, bunches of aromatic herbs and decorative arrangements. Unlike classic metal or plastic ties, food-grade silicone is non-toxic, withstands oven heat and releases no substances in contact with food.
The safety valve during cooking
String's distinctive feature emerges when cooking en papillote with Carta Fata. The lanyard acts as a safety valve: it lets air and steam escape only when high pressure builds up inside the parcel. This allows cooking in a controlled environment, retaining aromas and moisture without the risk of the parcel bursting. A technical solution adopted by those who cook at low temperature and en papillote professionally.
The manufacturer: Decorfood Italy and chef Fabio Tacchella
Decorfood Italy was born from the experience of chef Fabio Tacchella, internationally awarded and a gastronomic consultant. The company developed the Carta Fata system and its accessories, including the String lanyards, bringing to the kitchen products that combine food safety, functionality and aesthetic research.
Features
The lanyards are washable and reusable many times, keeping their elasticity and grip. The transparent version is the most versatile because it blends with any Carta Fata colour and with every presentation. The String range also includes white, blue, yellow, black, red and green shades, useful to colour-code preparations or create decorative contrasts.
Uses in professional kitchens
String is an everyday tool for pizzerias, restaurants, delicatessens, hotels and pastry shops. It is used to close fish or meat parcels for the oven, to wrap elegant take-away portions, to tie aromatic bunches to immerse in stocks, to present finger food and to prepare gift favours and gourmet arrangements. The transparency lets the colours and shapes of the preparation take centre stage.
Pairings
String performs best together with Carta Fata and the cords of the same line, completing the cooking and packaging system. It also pairs with the service equipment and food packaging materials available in the LAPA catalogue.
LAPA logistics and delivery
LAPA distributes String with temperature-controlled delivery in Switzerland, serving the main areas of the country with its own fleet and relying on partner couriers such as Swiss Post, Planzer and Galliker for areas not directly covered. We supply restaurants, pizzerias, delicatessens, hotels, gelaterias, pastry shops and Italian grocery stores, as well as private customers.
Who it is for
Designed for foodservice professionals who use the Carta Fata system or who are looking for a safe, hygienic and reusable closure system, String lanyards are also ideal for anyone who wants to take care of the presentation and packaging of their preparations.
