Cryovac®Packaging Solutions for Fish & Seafoods
Packaging must actively preserve quality, not just contain it.
Differentiating From the Sea of Competition
The fish and seafood sector is highly competitive and increasingly demanding, driven by consumer expectations for freshness, quality, sustainability, and visual appeal at point of sale. Processors and retailers must manage complex supply chains, short shelf lives, and strict food safety requirements, often across long transport distances and variable temperature conditions.
Market players face several key challenges, including controlling drip and purge, preventing damage during handling and distribution, maintaining product appearance and colour, and extending shelf life without compromising quality. At the same time, producers must improve operational efficiency, reduce waste, and deliver packaging formats that meet both retail and E‑commerce requirements while supporting sustainability goals.
CRYOVAC® packaging solutions for fish and seafood include vacuum skin packaging that delivers premium on‑shelf presentation while providing strong product protection and effective drip control; high‑barrier vacuum and shrink bags with robust sealing performance and high resistance to handling and transport for whole fish, loins, and processed seafood; and modified atmosphere packaging designed to extend shelf life while preserving colour and freshness across chilled seafood retail formats.
