Fresh Beef, Pork and Lamb Packaging That Delivers Quality Everyone Trusts

Labour shortages, rising costs, sustainability pressures and shifting consumer expectations are reshaping the fresh red meat industry. To stay competitive, beef, pork and lamb processors, retailers and foodservice operators need packaging solutions that reliably protect quality, extend shelf life and perform consistently across complex supply chains.

CRYOVAC^® meets these challenges with integrated packaging materials, automated equipment and expert services helping build more efficient, resilient and future‑ready operations that support productivity, food safety and long‑term growth.

Materials

Designed to Perform from Processor to Plate

From high‑performance barrier films and shrink bags to vacuum skin packaging and thermoforming solutions, CRYOVAC^® packaging materials are engineered to protect freshness while improving efficiency across the fresh meat value chain.

These solutions help maximise yield, support high‑volume production, and extend shelf life, reducing downgrade, rework and waste along the way.
Visually appealing, leak‑resistant formats maintain colour, consistency and shelf impact in the meat case, while simplifying handling and supporting better inventory control.

At the same time, durable, easy‑open designs enhance food safety, perform reliably through distribution and cold storage, and enable faster, more efficient handling in demanding operational environments, all without compromising quality or sustainability goals.
