“Its multi-layer, high-abuse structure virtually eliminates leakers, while providing an extremely high shrink rate and gloss, making for a very appealing skin-tight package,” says Ryan Till, Flavorseal’s Market Manager - Packaging Materials. “The bag offers a rounded bottom to minimize dog ears on the finished package. The bag structure can be offered as clear, translucent or opaque colors. High Impact 7 Color printing is available on both the front and back of the package.”
This new bag can accommodate a full range of sizes available for all whole birds and breast packs and is ideal for fresh or frozen applications as well, Till relays.
When asked why this new package was developed, Till answers, “We feel that the market could benefit from a bag that offers better protection, which minimizes leakers and offers a nice, skin-tight appearance to better contour and showcase the birds. Our standard-gauge materials offer superior puncture resistance and minimize leakers.”
As poultry industry input costs continue to increase, Flavorseal is sharpening its focus on adding value to customer operations by reducing the amount of leakers on the retail shelves and rework in packing facilities.
“We are focused on making a better-looking package that will help drive demand for our customer’s products,” Till explains. Protection and aesthetics are the two major features US poultry processors should look for when selecting shrink bags for their poultry products, Till advises.
The new, competitively priced Flavorseal BSB-65 Poultry Shrink Bag is the latest addition to the company’s complete line of innovative packaging for meat and cheese products, including bone guard, high-barrier and post-pasteurization bags. "We know many of our customers have been looking for a high-performance yet cost-effective poultry shrink bag," Till says. "We think our new Poultry Shrink Bag is their ideal solution."
