Improved sanitation. Foods can be pumped into the C5000 casing at above pasteurization temperature assuring greater protection against bacteria. This coextruded, multi-layered material has superior strength enabling it to withstand temperature extremes from 210°F at filling to -20°F for freezing.

Positive closure. The casing is pre-clipped on one end. After filling, the open end is also closed with a metal clip. A contents label with code dating can be affixed with the clip.

Superior durability. The casing easily withstands the rigors of handling and distribution. Its toughness enables the filled casing to be tumbled inside a chiller without fear of rupture. The C5000 casing resists hydraulic pressures exerted by packaged liquids during transportation, reducing returns and damage claims.

Longer product life. Oxygen and moisture barriers protect "just cooked" flavors throughout distribution. Because of its special formulation, the C5000 casing can withstand the "shock" of transfer from deep-freeze to hot water when reheated.
