Meat, Poultry & Seafood

Corrugated Meat, Poultry and Seafood Packaging Built for the Cold Chain

Meat, poultry and seafood packaging covers the corrugated cartons that move raw cuts, frozen blocks, and fresh catch from plant to counter. Buyers search for frozen meat shipping boxes and fresh seafood shipping boxes, and our range covers both, including fish boxes built for the morning catch. Not every pack is raw. Ready-to-heat meals, such as cooked wings and marinated skewers, go into microwave trays that fit inside a corrugated shipper. Cooked or raw, cold chain packaging has to protect the load from packing line to delivery door. 

• Frozen blocks are dense, so poultry shipper cartons have to carry stacked weight for days.

Wet Strength Board for Meat, Poultry and Seafood Packaging That Stays Firm as the Ice Melts

Melting ice softens plain board quickly. Wet strength corrugated keeps its walls straight, so the carton doesn’t slump in the cooler. Poultry fat and meat juices soak through untreated board too. A grease border layer, like the ones in pizza box liners, supports the outside to stay dry and clean. Frozen loads sit in stacks for days, so stack strength in cold storage depends on flute size and wall count. Single wall suits lighter packs. Double wall carries heavier cases. Cartons leaving a freezer also gather condensation on a warm dock. Condensation-resistant boxes with a moisture coating last longer than bare board.

A Maine seafood wholesaler added a color-coded catch date strip to the side of each carton. Drivers began sorting loads by date without opening a single box. Handling time dropped across the warehouse.

Orders Sized for Corner Butchers and Full Truckload Distributors

A local butcher doesn’t need ten thousand boxes to look professional. A short run with your logo gives butcher shop packaging a proper brand look. Holiday hampers that pair cured meats with chocolate are a good example, and confectionery cushion pads keep the mixed contents snug. Cartons start at a two pound retail pack and climb to a forty pound bulk box, cut to your product dimensions. Processors ordering bulk meat cartons care most about repeatability, so we record board, size, and print details for every reorder. Snack kits that pair cured meat with crackers stay tidy when biscuit liners keep each item apart.

• Distributors get pallet friendly cartons, matching specs across routes, and dependable reorders.
