Meat & Poultry

Winpak has developed specialized packaging technology for the fresh and processed meat markets and has matured today to provide diverse customers with world-class packaging.

Meat products have some of the most challenging requirements in the food packaging market needing specialized barrier protection in order to provide meaningful shelf life, retail appearance and consumer convenience. Proprietary thermoforming film technology utilized in vacuum packaging and thermoformed trays and films for case-ready packaging allows fresh meats to maintain a freshly processed appearance. Winpak provides the combination of oxygen and moisture barrier materials required to maximize shelf life, preserve freshness and flavor for applications such as red meat primals (pork, beef, lamb), case-ready (tray, master bag), poultry, fish and all types of processed meat products.

Complimenting films and trays, Winpak is the North American leader in the manufacture of vacuum pouches that can be produced with a wide range of barrier levels and materials required to suit individual meat packaging applications. Pouches that provide outstanding clarity and graphics at point of sale for items such as beef stick and jerky can include zipper re-close features. Winpak manufactures tough multi-layer films with superior abrasion and puncture resistance for the demands of continuous-motion bacon packaging equipment. These films exhibit excellent machinability and heat-sealing performance.

Winpak's innovative packaging solutions, developed in partnership with food processors, are derived from leading technology platforms to provide the highest level of performance in key meat categories.
