PACKAGING: WHERE CONVENIENCE MEETS CUSTOMIZATION.

Our efficient packaging systems bring added value to our pre-sliced meats and IQF offerings. In fact, we developed consumer-friendly Peel & Reseal options that use less plastic than leading retail tray packaging—perfect for private label and co-packing opportunities. Other retail options include cartons made from 100% recyclable materials, along with bagging and zipper packaging capabilities for both retail and co-packing. For our foodservice customers, packaging options include gas-flushed or vacuum-packed pouches, trays and bulk.
