SEAFOOD PACKAGING

Seafood packaging plays an essential role in preserving product quality and maintaining the original flavor throughout transportation and storage — especially for perishable frozen goods such as seafood. Let’s explore seafood packaging and some typical packaging samples with Volga VN through the following article!

1. Seafood packaging materials

Composed of PET (MATT) // LLDPE and PA // LLDPE, seafood packaging is capable of withstanding freezing temperatures as low as -18°C. Made from plastic materials, these pouches possess a certain degree of flexibility, excellent adhesion, and high moisture resistance.

2. Functions

• Preservation of frozen goods: Seafood packaging protects products from external factors such as sunlight, dust, and harmful microorganisms. By minimizing the risk of bacterial contamination, the products remain safe for both production and consumption.
  

• Water resistance: Designed to be waterproof and puncture-resistant, the packaging prevents leakage or product damage during transportation.
  

• Anti-oxidation and odor sealing: Some types of seafood packaging are designed with anti-oxidation features to resist external impact and contain the characteristic odor of seafood.
  

• Cost efficiency and ease of transport: Packaging keeps products fresh and neatly contained, saving both storage space and transportation costs.
  

• Brand enhancement: Seafood packaging is designed and printed to align with the company’s branding and visual identity, creating a positive impression with customers and enhancing brand recognition.

With such crucial functions, frozen seafood packaging has become indispensable throughout the production, transportation, and distribution processes. So, what types of seafood packaging are currently available on the market?
