Food Packaging Systems introduces a new seafood packing system comprising lightweight trays, sealing film and tray lidding machines to pack products such as fish fillets and shellfish.
When used with modified atmosphere packing or MAP, the packaging can deliver extended shelf life for products.
The thermoformed high-density polyethylene trays are available in a range of sizes and contain features such as Pyramids which when used in combination with plastic layer pads avoid discoloration of the fish from residual water and liquid.
The trays ensure long shelf life without the need for ice, offering a typical 10-12 days for fish fillets.
For efficient distribution, the trays feature a robust construction and are fully stackable – a full truck load can contain around 10 times more trays than expanded polystyrene or EPS boxes.
Filled trays can also be transported with other products, including dry goods, since their leak-proof construction prevents salt water from seeping out.
Trays can be packed directly onto pallets using film wrap.
The RPC Bebo Kristiansand facility in Norway has extensive experience and is at the forefront of the supply of packing solutions to small, medium and large seafood processors throughout the world.
