Food and Beverage
Elmes Packaging specializes in high-quality, custom trays for the food industry.
Food And Beverage Packaging
Thermoformed packaging is essential in the food and beverage industry as it’s cost-effective, efficient, and offers a high level of protection for the products it contains. One of the primary reasons it is important is its ability to preserve the freshness and safety of food products.
Proper thermoformed packaging will help control the amount of moisture and oxygen a product is exposed to, while safeguarding it from contamination. This extends the shelf life of food products and reduces waste.
Problems Solved
While thermoformed packaging is common in the food and beverage industry, food producers have a number of packaging challenges to overcome. This is where Elmes Packaging can provide valuable assistance.
Denesting
Denesting is the process of separating individual items that are stacked together, (e.g. thermoformed trays). Issues can occur during denesting if trays are not properly separated, causing process disruption. At Elmes Packaging, we work with you to design proper packaging to mitigate this risk.
Top Sealing
An improper seal allows for exposure to unwanted air and condensation, impacting the freshness of a product. Our custom-first approach ensures our packaging delivers perfect seals, and maintains a proper shelf life for the products within.
Ripening
There is a science behind ripening. Different fruit requires different packaging design and air and moisture exposure. Too much or too little of these environmental factors will negatively impact quality. Our team of food packaging experts work with our customers to create custom packaging solutions to maximize freshness and shelf life.
Order Volume
We understand that not every food producer requires the same volume of packaging. As a result, we offer solutions for low, mid, and high volume orders.
Designed For You
At Elmes Packaging, we appreciate there is no “one size fits all” approach to thermoforming. Unique products require custom solutions. Whether it’s a lower volume order, a new approach to packaging a specific item, meeting a tight deadline, or collaborating on sustainability initiatives, Elmes Packaging is your partner. Safety and compliance are crucial in the food and beverage industry, and our FSC 22000 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications reflect our commitment to maintaining quality and safety at the forefront of operations.
