In February this year, C-P Flexible Packaging partnered with Northwest Frozen, LLC to launch high-performance packaging for extended shelf-life refrigerated meals.
The new items included a frozen croissant-shaped gnocchi pasta product called Crocchi. The pasta is cryo-frozen and packaged in high-barrier, modified atmosphere containers.
Northwest Frozen LLC also produces high-quality frozen meals as private label items for the largest grocery retailer in the United States.
The new packaging delivers hermetically sealed meals with a specific, low-oxygen atmosphere inside the package to help keep the food fresh.
Preferred Packaging Div. of C-P Flexible Packaging worked very closely with Northwest Frozen to provide a lidding film that could seal on high-speed machines with high efficacy to crystalized polyester trays and even through contaminants such as sauces.
Seal integrity is critical throughout the distribution cycle. The meals are frozen and then sold in refrigerated temperatures at retail stores. Consumers can cook the meals directly in the trays either using a microwave or conventional oven.
