The market for meat products of all types is changing-- and the packaging used to transport them from farm to processor to market needs to change, too. Food safety for the meat industry is top of mind for processors and consumers.
That’s why all meat-packaging products from Smurfit-Stone are made under conditions that ensure cleanliness and safety. Vendors supplying raw materials meet FDA requirements for food contact packaging. Raw materials are inspected for evidence of contamination and/or tampering. Employees are educated on FDA limits and the use of chemical additives. At Smurfit-Stone, we do more than adhere to FDA guidelines and regulations. We take personal responsibility for every supplier, every raw material, and every mill and converting operation conforming to code. Facilities follow comprehensive procedures, including vendor certification and raw material screening, to prevent the introduction of unwanted compounds. As a final check on our procedures, Smurfit-Stone regularly screens finished products for more than 150 individual chemicals, as well as harmful microorganisms.
We don’t just produce boxes. We create the ideal packaging solution for your product based on strength and weight of your product, safety factors, and design and build the machinery which will make them at your site. By auditing your packaging needs, we’re able to find savings throughout your line, which can significantly reduce costs and labor while protecting product quality.
And our design services can bring a level of sophisticated branding to your packaging which will raise the perception of your products with both retailers and their customers.
