Looking for quality and consistency? Nothing outperforms Cryovac^® packaging systems to help seafood stay fresher longer and merchandise better. Whether it’s case-ready or bulk fresh, Cryovac® packaging technology satisfies a variety of seafood applications. It all adds up to delivering the kind of higher quality fresh seafood that has consumers coming back for more.

Case Ready Packaging for Fish and Seafood

Recent packaging innovations have opened new opportunities for modified atmosphere fish packaging in the seafood case for retailers. Case ready seafood is truly achievable with Cryovac^® modified atmosphere packaging and vacuum skin packaging systems. These proven technologies have been adapted to meet seafood’s special requirements, helping improve profitability and reduce shrink.

Lidstock and Barrier Tray Package

This lidstock-and-tray combination, together with gas flushing, creates the desired low oxygen modified atmosphere that substantially prolongs the freshness and quality life of refrigerated seafood products.

• During refrigerated storage and retail display, LID1050 materials remain fog-free and sparkling in appearance, providing a full view of the product and greatly enhancing the merchandising appeal.

BDF 2060 Film

BDF 2060 offers a shrink film alternative for packaging many oxygen-sensitive, perishable products. This extremely tough material is highly resistant to punctures, tears and abrasions and is excellent for packaging high profile and irregularly shaped products.

• As an oxygen barrier, the film provides important merchandising benefits. Superior gloss and sheen along with excellent see-through and contact clarity provide maximum merchandising appeal.

Time-Temperature Indicator Labels

Our modified atmosphere packages are ideal for use with time-temperature indicator labels. These active labels let retailers know if a product has experienced temperature abuse during transport or display. Once activated, the sensor changes color from yellow to pink at a pre-determined rate based on temperature exposure. These labels meet FDA guidelines for MAP packaging of fresh seafood products.

Simple Steps™ for Seafood

Cryovac^® Simple Steps™ microwavable package for prepared seafood entrees is distributed frozen and sold case ready in the same package. The product can be cooked at home in a microwave without removing it from its package. The technology gives shoppers a high-quality entrée that has undergone minimal handling. The unique self-venting Simple Steps™ package eliminates the need to puncture ventilation holes or remove film before cooking in a microwave. Designed with "stay-cool" side handles and easy-open tabs, Simple Steps™ enables entrées to go from the microwave to the dinner table without spills or burns.
