Fresh food products regularly suffer from drip-loss, sometimes losing significant amounts of moisture during their entire shelf life. If such products are presented in case-ready packaging, storing them in their own moisture will come at the expense of product quality and appearance. By introducing TenderPac, SEALPAC is offering a two-compartment packaging system that provides an innovative solution to this topic. At Interpack 2014, the company will present its patented TenderPac system in a brand-new tray solution.
Patented two-compartment vacuum pack
TenderPac, the patented two-compartment vacuum packaging system, cleanly separates the product from the common drip-loss that occurs during transport and storage. A vacuum reservoir, the special ActiveStick, collects this drip-loss and provides dry and appetizing storage of the fresh product. This significantly reduces the oxidative degradation process, which is normally caused by the residual oxygen in the product.
Appealing presentation with optimal product characteristics
Originally developed as a thermoformer solution, the system is now also available as skin pack on SEALPAC traysealers. Sealed with the unique InsideCut system, and supplied with the EasyPeelPoint opening aid, this sturdy pack stand out for its perfect optics. The tight film, which fits the product like a second skin, prevents the product from slipping if presented vertically at retail. The EasyPeelPoint system makes opening of the pack extremely easy, hence contributing to highest convenience.
TenderPac not only brings extended shelf life, it also ensures that the packaged product retains its tender structure, optimal flavour and excellent cooking properties. The packaging system is available both as flexible film application on SEALPAC’s full range of RE-series thermoformers, and as TraySkin® application on SEALPAC’s full range of A-series traysealers. As such, SEALPAC once again proves the flexibility of its packaging equipment, which allows numerous applications on a single machine with minimal changeover times.
