Gain Efficiency
From portioned patties to bulk grinds, CRYOVAC® ground meat packaging options support efficiency in prep and service.
When meat and seafood are the star of a meal, only the freshest and best will do. In addition to keeping these qualities top of mind, food service operators also need convenient handling and storage—which is why the packaging you choose matters so much.
For more than 85 years, CRYOVAC® has been a leader in meat and seafood packaging. We understand the importance of shelf life, quality, convenience, and efficiency in food service operations, and offer a comprehensive portfolio of packaging options to meet your needs.
Ground Meat
Ground meat is a recipe staple, and to make the most of this versatile product, you need to know your packaging will protect quality and taste.
CRYOVAC® brand food packaging materials not only uphold quality but also extend and enhance shelf life of ground meat products, including ground beef and ground poultry.
Our range of packaging products include options to support every way you cook, from frozen and fresh portioned servings to bulk packs up to 10 pounds.
From portioned patties to bulk grinds, CRYOVAC® ground meat packaging options support efficiency in prep and service.
With durable seals, our ground meat packaging protects flavor and extends shelf life, while standing up to distribution.
Fresh Red Meat
Leaks, poor packaging shrink, and moisture loss can all contribute to spoilage and quality issues for fresh and frozen red meat like beef, pork, and lamb. And these issues can lead to food waste and loss, and dissatisfied customers.
CRYOVAC® meat packaging solutions are backed by decades of material science expertise to help protect food from damage during distribution and storage.
Our solutions also make it easier to handle various cuts of meat, whether you’re processing primal or sub-primal cuts yourself or looking for pre-portioned cuts that reduce prep time.
CRYOVAC® packaging helps prevent moisture loss for better quality of red meat products.
Our durable shrink bags, rollstock, and pouches are abuse resistant to stand up to distribution.
CRYOVAC® Grip & Tear® and other easy-open features eliminate or reduce the need for sharp openers.
Smoked and Processed Meats
Ready-to-eat smoked and processed meats require careful sanitation and handling. CRYOVAC® offers a variety of user-friendly features that support your staff as they work with these products, while also reducing the risk of cross contamination.
Our Grip & Tear® easy-open shrink bags and rollstock easy-open features offer simple, tool-free opening. Cook-in bags for pre-cooked proteins lock in yield and juices for better consistency, while reducing the risk of exposure to airborne pathogens.
Our packaging solutions can often be designed with tool-free opening to protect worker safety.
Our films and bags offer a variety of options to prevent leaks while protecting flavor and texture.
Fresh Poultry
To ensure optimal taste, aroma, and texture of chicken, turkey, and other fresh poultry, it’s important for packaging to be designed with poultry in mind.
Non-barrier packaging from CRYOVAC® is ideal for keeping fresh poultry tasting and smelling fresh.
Breathable shrink bags are tough enough to stand up to distribution, while still offering easy-open features that make them easier to handle. Flexible pouches and rollstock films are ideal for pre-seasoned poultry or smaller cuts that reduce prep time.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide pass through the breathable film structure to eliminate natural confinement odors for fresh products.
Abuse-resistant films and bags stand up to distribution and shipping challenges to protect poultry quality.
Seafood
From portioned cuts to whole filets, seafood has to be fresh to keep customers coming back. Our packaging solutions include options for both fresh and frozen seafood that are tailored to the specific needs of each format.
CRYOVAC® 10K OTR vacuum shrink bags meet FDA guidelines for 10,000 oxygen transmission rate (OTR) to enhance safety for fresh seafood and prevent discoloration and spoilage.
Frozen seafood packaging includes materials that extend shelf life and prevent freezer burns. Select bags can go from freezer to oven to retain moisture and flavor and simplify cleanup.
Our seafood packaging is designed to protect freshness across distribution and shipping.
For fresh or frozen, solutions are available with easy-open features for maximum convenience.
