Case-ready packaging

摘要

FreshCase packaging, a new material technology from Curwood for case-ready meats, delivers superior flavor, quality and extended shelf-life of vacuum packaging; the fresh, red color customers prefer; and cost advantages that help processors and retailers maintain profit margins. The leak-proof packages are easy to open, freezer-ready and can be stored in the refrigerator until the use-by date. The hermetic packaging offers a shelf-life of more than 30 days for whole muscle beef and extends typical retail display-life up to 28 days instead of the typical three to five days for tray overwraps. Developed for fresh beef, FreshCase materials are available for many formats including forming and non-forming films, vacuum-skin packaging, trays and semi-rigid films with VSP and ground beef chubs.
