In the food industry, packaging plays a crucial role in preserving the freshness and quality of products. This is especially true for meat products, which are highly perishable and require proper packaging to maintain their freshness. That’s where SystemPAK’s MeatPAK comes in. This heat-sealable tray range offers a variety of benefits for both producers and consumers.
What is SystemPAK’s MeatPAK?
SystemPAK’s MeatPAK is a range of heat-sealable trays designed specifically for the meat industry. These trays are made from high-quality materials and are designed to preserve the freshness and quality of meat products. The trays come in a variety of sizes and shapes to accommodate different types of meat, making it a versatile option for producers.
Benefits for Producers
One of the main benefits of using SystemPAK’s MeatPAK is its ability to extend the shelf life of meat products. The trays are designed to provide an airtight seal, preventing oxygen from entering and causing spoilage. This means that producers can store their products for longer periods without compromising on quality.
Another advantage of using SystemPAK’s MeatPAK is its durability. The trays are made from sturdy materials that can withstand transportation and handling. This reduces the risk of damage to the products, ensuring that they reach consumers in optimal condition.
Benefits for Consumers
For consumers, the most significant benefit of SystemPAK’s MeatPAK is the assurance of freshness and quality. The airtight seal of the trays ensures that the meat products remain fresh and free from contamination. This gives consumers peace of mind knowing that they are purchasing high-quality products.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a crucial and growing factor in the food industry. SystemPAK’s MeatPAK is committed to reducing its environmental impact by using recyclable materials in their trays. This not only benefits the environment but also aligns with the values of consumers who are increasingly conscious of their impact on the planet.
Customisation Options
SystemPAK’s MeatPAK offers a range of customisation options for producers. This includes the ability to add branding and labelling to the trays, making it an excellent marketing tool for businesses. The trays can also be designed to fit specific product sizes and shapes, providing a tailored packaging solution for producers.
Standard – Polypyrene (PP)
The standard offering in the MeatPAK range is the Polypyrene (PP) trays. Renowned for their durability and versatility, PP trays provide a reliable packaging solution for various food items.
Customised Laminate Materials
For those seeking enhanced barrier properties, SystemPAK offers laminate materials on a ‘make to order’ basis. These include:
- PP-PE (Improved barrier properties)
- PP-EVOH-PP (Excellent barrier properties)
- PP-EVOH-PE (Best barrier properties)
EVOH, or Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol, stands out for its exceptional resistance to gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. This makes it an ideal choice for packaging perishable products like food, drugs, and cosmetics. The incorporation of EVOH in the laminate materials elevates the trays to meet the highest standards of barrier resistance.
The superior barrier properties of EVOH are particularly advantageous in Modified Atmospheric Packaging (MAP) or gas flushing applications. This technology helps extend the shelf life of the packaged produce, ensuring freshness and quality for an extended period.
In addition to the diverse tray offerings, SystemPAK goes the extra mile by providing trays with fitted absorption pads. These pads play a crucial role in eliminating excess fluids, such as blood, which often accumulate at the base of trays.
