What is Meat Packaging?

Meat Packaging is the packaging of meat products to avoid cross-contamination and to ensure the absolute freshness of the said product. Packaging this product involves a high barrier packaging system to protect the product from oxygen, moisture, resist grease, odor, and possible tearing during transportation. Meat packaging is also required to provide product visibility and display a label with information about the meats that are being sold. 

Trending

Pouches and Plastic containers, such as trays, have become a fast-growing trend in the meatpacking industry. Pouches make packaging frozen meats and meals in bulk easier with less waste while the trays work well for fresh goods that will be purchased either on the same day or the same week of purchase. A high number of meat packaging industries are preferring to use vacuum sealing trays to maximize the shelf life, quality, and freshness of the product. Using trays allows the consumer to visually see the meat and easily view the quality and freshness of the meat product before purchasing.

Shopping Habits

Many consumers are looking for convenience with easy to open the packaging and clear visibility of the product to confirm the product's freshness. There has also been an increase in microwavable meats where the product is already pre-cooked and simply needing to be reheated. Along with this has come the need for single-serve portions and easy to open packaging that can be found in stories as well as online ordering.
