The Cryovac® NatureTRAY™ package is the first foam tray in the U.S. created with PLA (polylactic acid) polymers. Made entirely from plants, an annually renewable resource, the NatureTRAY™ package can be used for packaging of beef, pork, poultry and fish, as well as produce and dry goods.
The package delivers all the benefits of traditional polystyrene foam trays. It is available in a range of sizes and in an all-natural un-pigmented white color.
Cryovac® brand shelf-stable technology provides a durable, flexible pouch option for processors and foodservice operators seeking greater flavor and texture in retorted products. The Flavour Mark™ pouch can hold any amount from 16 to 128 ounces and offers nearly 100 percent product yield for foods such as chili with meat, stews, soups, vegetables and sauces.
Cryovac® Flavour Mark™ pouches are made with a high-performance, multi-layer, coextruded film for products that require thermal processing (250 degrees Fahrenheit) after packaging to achieve shelf stability. The film also provides secure, high-integrity seals to survive the rigors of rough handling during distribution.
