Packaging Solutions for Fresh Beef, Pork, Lamb, Veal and Game 

The fresh protein industry continues to face volatility driven by factors like supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, rising costs, and changing consumer preferences. To enhance production efficiency across a variety of cuts and protein types, it is crucial for food processors and retailers to adopt innovative, efficient, and sustainable packaging formats. Our diverse range of fresh red meat packaging solutions helps you balance your immediate production demands while positioning your operation for future growth.

Solving Fresh Red Meat Packaging Challenges

Maximizing Available Labour Resources

According the 2022 PMMI report, most meat processing facilities have less than 50% automation in their plant operations and face challenges in addressing labour shortages and identifying the right areas to automate. Workforce turnover rates and rising labour costs are making the management of day-to-day operations almost impossible to predict. Leveraging automated equipment is your means to create operational and workforce efficiencies that reduce process variation, allow faster changeovers, and yield consistent results.

Addressing Changing Consumer Preferences

As consumers prioritize quality, convenience, and value in their meat choices, packaging serves a broad role. It's not just a container; it's a dynamic billboard safeguarding product freshness and presentation while also serving as a sustainable solution. Processors and retailers must adapt to these evolving behaviors, spanning both traditional brick-and-mortar and the e-commerce landscape. Recognizing these challenges, we provide an array of packaging formats designed to bolster your brand, extend your market presence, and capture the attention of new customer segments.

Reduction in Energy Consumption & Plastic Usage

Plastic taxes, challenges related to PVDC disposal and degradation, and environmental pledges are keeping sustainability attributes such as recyclability and plastic reduction top of mind. Selecting alternative packaging formats that are fit-for-use in your existing packaging equipment can reduce the need for additional capital investments and lower carbon footprint while addressing consumer demand for packaging and processing that uses less natural resources like water and energy.
