Printed, peelable boxed meat products

　　 Cryovac® LID 551P, a peelable box sealable film and packaging for the company that won one of the two Silver Awards for Technological Innovation, was produced by Cryovac Food Packaging, a division of Sealed Air Company, which used a trapping barrier film and used a The barrier liner adheres to the styrofoam dish. The contents include whole muscles, mainly beef and pork, surrounded by low oxygen mixed air, sealing the LID 551P film on the dish to protect the content, and during storage and distribution. Maintain a low oxygen air environment. The barrier layer can be torn open at retail and the air re-enters the package through the breathable film so that this piece of meat can become the big red you want. This easy-to-tear feature allows retailers to tear open only when they need it, and usually keeps the meat box full. According to Cryovac, the ability to extend shelf life to meet warehousing needs will allow retailers to keep boxed meat products high without having to store too much.

Swift & Co. uses the LID 551P, which is based on the original Cryovac LID 550P. The LID 551P film can be used for packaging low-oxygen boxed beef and can be trapped so that the printed pattern can remain on the box after the barrier is torn off. The packaging film is a 2.2 mil coextruded barrier film with the pattern printed between the two layers.

The LID 551P film demonstrates excellent encapsulation and anti-fog properties and can be easily machined. Its low oxygen performance can be maintained until the meat needs to be opened to turn red. The LID 551P package offers the possibility of extending shelf life without the use of large bag packaging. In addition, Cryovac stated that palletized products only need to go through one packaging machine instead of two.
