Tray Sealing, Tray Overwrapping, and Thermoforming Solutions for Plant-Based Meat Products

Ossid designs and manufactures tray sealing and overwrapping systems for alternative meat products such as burgers, meatballs, and more. We offer a comprehensive range of solutions, including tray overwrapping and lidding, vacuum skin packaging, horizontal form fill seal systems, weigh price labeling, and case scale machinery tailored for the alternative meats industry. Each system is engineered for maximum productivity while maintaining product quality and supporting clean, washdown environments.

Material Considerations for Plant-Based Meat Packaging

Material selection depends on several factors, including product type, anticipated shelf life, shipping method and duration, package style, and the equipment used. An Ossid sales representative can help you determine the most suitable packaging format for your needs.

Plant-Based Meat Packaging Examples

Tray Sealing and Tray Overwrapping

Tray sealing and overwrapping systems are ideal for packaging trays of alternative meat products such as burgers, meatballs, and more. The Ossid 500Si is a tuck-and-fold style tray overwrapping machine that keeps trays tightly wrapped at speeds of up to 120 packages per minute. For added line efficiency, the 500Si can be paired with the 1500 Series Weigh Price Labeler (WPL).

Reepack’s line of semi-automatic and fully automatic tray sealers offers versatile solutions, including ambient tray lidding, vacuum skin packaging (VSP) trays, and VSP-on-board packaging. The compact ReeTray 30 provides robust sealing capabilities for small production runs, making it an excellent entry point for start-up processors or for lab testing prior to new new product launches.

For higher production output, larger fully automatic tray sealing systems are available, delivering increased throughput while maintaining ease of operation and maintenance.

Reepack ReeForm Thermoformer Series

Thermoformers play a key role in the alternative meats industry, offering ideal solutions for packaging fresh patties or frozen products. The ReeForm Series of thermoformers ranges from entry-level models to high-performance systems, providing flexibility to meet diverse industry demands. These machines accommodate both flexible and rigid films in varying thicknesses and widths. Key features include stainless steel construction for sanitary washdown environments, an open-frame design for easy access, and maximum output efficiency.

Designed to support start-up businesses, large processors requiring add-ons, and companies converting existing lines, Ossid’s packaging solutions are versatile, durable, and dependable.
