Seafood Packaging
Ossid serves the seafood packaging industry with tray overwrapping and lidding, vacuum skin packaging, horizontal form fill seal and weigh price labeling.
Seafood packaging refers to how packers surround or wrap their seafood products with an appropriate material that will protect and help keep the protein fresh. The most used materials are plastic or synthetic films. In general, the products are a variety of fresh, and processed items. With today’s fast paced environment, and a society that wants fresh and ready-to-eat products, we see a growing demand in both. With this demand at an all-time high, packaging companies are striving to help their packaging customers with the ever-increasing demand. Customers are looking for safe, reliable, fast, and efficient packaging, and all these are the factors driving the demand.
