As more and more people prioritize healthier foods, convenient options, and sustainable packaging, meeting these demands for your customers is paramount for staying competitive. One way to achieve this is through high-quality packaging that preserves your products’ freshness. The team at Five Point Packaging offers reliable food packaging supplies and equipment like our efficient tray sealers to help protect product integrity and extend shelf life for businesses worldwide.
Quality Food Packaging Shelf Life Reduces Waste
With the right food packaging, you’ll not only increase shelf life but also minimize waste and support sustainability in your operations. Preventing foods from spoiling equates to reduced product loss, generating cost savings for your business. Even if you utilize more packaging rather than less, using well-designed, high-quality packaging will help your company in the long term by preserving your products, reducing repackaging needs and food waste.
We offer multiple options for protecting and preserving foods to prevent product degradation and lost profits, including modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and vacuum skin packaging (VSP). MAP and VSP both help extend shelf life and lessen your reliance on preservatives to keep products fresher for longer.
Effective Food Packaging Solutions Increase Profitability
Point Five offers multiple tray sealing solutions to fulfill our clients’ varied needs, supporting profitability through reliable operations and increased productivity. These include the following:
- Top-sealing tray sealers. These sealers apply a flexible, heat-sealed film over a food-loaded tray to prolong freshness and protect against oxygen, moisture, and microbe exposure.
- Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) technology. MAP minimizes a product’s exposure to oxygen, replacing most of this gas in the packaging with nitrogen or carbon dioxide to prevent microbial growth, discoloration, and alterations to a food’s texture and flavor.
- Vacuum skin packaging (VSP) technology. This packaging method protects products using heat and a vacuum-sealed transparent film that forms an airtight seal to keep oxygen out while keeping the product visible.
- Tray stretch sealing. This technique applies and seals stretchable film hermetically around a tray’s sides, preventing product leaks and significant material reduction. Products subsequently benefit from increased flexibility, visibility, and safety.
Cost-Effective Food Packaging Solutions for Any Industry
Point Five’s packaging solutions are ideal for safeguarding the integrity of a wide range of food products. Some of the items that benefit from our tray sealing and related technologies include:
- Bakery products. Various desserts, pastries, and other baked goods benefit from MAP without mechanical vacuuming to stay fresh and appealing for days, weeks, or even months. You can showcase them with transparent trays, cups, and cookie and cake containers.
- Dairy. We offer food packaging systems to handle a range of dairy trays and materials, including bake-in CPET and aluminum options, non-forming and forming films, crystal-clear RPET and APET trays, and clamshells or cups.
- Fresh case items. Our thermoformed trays extend the freshness and overall shelf life of many fresh vegetables, salsas, salads, sandwiches, and more, particularly when using our MAP solutions.
- Meat. Our MAP and VSP tray sealing technologies provide versatile packaging for meat, poultry, and seafood that end customers can freeze, refrigerate, oven-heat, or microwave.
- Produce. Many fruits and vegetables risk spoilage and nutrient depreciation without the right packaging. This is why we offer MAP and other versatile packaging technology to lengthen shelf life, preserve taste, protect against damage, and minimize contamination risk.
- Ready-to-eat products. To help preserve freshness and protect prepackaged foods during transport, we provide manual and automated tray and cup sealers, fillers and depositors, and sleeve systems for oven- and microwave-safe containers.
- Snacks. In addition to tray and cup sealing, our snack packaging solutions include rigid trays, stand-up pouches, and wear-resistant and sustainable packaging. Point Five aims to offer a range of durable, convenient, on-the-go, and single-serve packing options.
