SOLUTIONS
Meat
At Inter Fresh, we understand the critical importance of temperature control and hygiene in meat packaging and shipping. Our specialized solutions help online meat retailers, butchers, and barbecue specialists deliver fresh, high-quality products directly to consumers without requiring refrigerated vehicles.
Challenges in meat shipping
The meat industry faces unique challenges when shipping products directly to consumers. Maintaining consistent low temperatures is essential to preserve freshness and safety, while preventing leakage of blood and fluids that can harbor bacteria is critical for both presentation and food safety. Products must arrive in pristine, presentable condition to meet consumer expectations, and increasingly, meat packaging must address sustainability concerns and disposal ease.
Our solutions address these challenges comprehensively, providing reliable temperature control and absorption capabilities that maintain product integrity from dispatch to delivery.
Specialized meat packaging solutions
Meat absorption pads
Our meat-specific absorption pads are designed to capture blood and fluids from meat products, creating a more hygienic environment during transport. These recognizable white pads with perforations absorb excess moisture to prevent leakage while reducing bacterial growth in meat juices. The technology improves product presentation and extends shelf life by creating a drier environment.
Unlike our fish pads, meat pads are specifically calibrated for the lower absorption requirements of meat products while still providing excellent moisture management. The absorption capacity is precisely matched to typical meat products, ensuring optimal performance without excess bulk—making them a key component of effective meat packaging.
Cooling solutions for meat
We offer a range of cooling elements perfectly suited for meat shipping. Standard gel packs provide reliable cooling for typical deliveries, while hard cooling elements offer a reusable solution for businesses with return logistics systems. For environmentally-conscious brands, our eco-friendly gel packs combine performance with sustainability credentials.
Each cooling solution can be calibrated to your specific requirements based on shipping duration, meat weight, and external temperatures. This customization ensures you're not paying for unnecessary cooling capacity while still guaranteeing product freshness upon delivery.
Insulated packaging
Our insulation solutions for meat packaging include the EcoCoolbox with paper fiber insulation, providing excellent thermal protection with improved environmental credentials. For multiple-use scenarios, our polypropylene channel plate boxes offer durability across many delivery cycles. Traditional EPS boxes remain available for specialized applications, while our Eco Thermaliner (Klimaliner) provides flexible wrapping solutions for varied meat products.
The consumer advantage
While many commercial meat operators rely on refrigerated trucks, our meat packaging solutions provide a competitive edge for direct-to-consumer meat businesses. By eliminating the need for refrigerated vehicles, you can reduce operational costs significantly while expanding your delivery range beyond the limitations of specialized transport. This allows you to utilize standard shipping services and offer home delivery without time-specific delivery windows, enhancing customer convenience.
Quality assurance for consumers
We understand that consumers expect visual confirmation of proper cooling. Our cooling elements provide this reassurance while actually maintaining proper temperatures, giving customers confidence in your products’ freshness and safety. This visual cue helps establish trust and reinforces your brand’s commitment to quality.
