Multivac's New Visionseal™ Enhances Consumer Appeal For Case Ready Meat & Poultry

Kansas City, MO – Meat & poultry processors and marketers now have an innovative packaging solution for delivering fresh and cooked case ready products to market. Multivac's VisionSeal™ system uses the latest technology to enable MAP packaging of products in shallow trays.

The new system allows for product above the tray flange, to resemble "over-wrapped" packaging, but with benefits from the latest in trayseal technology. This creates visually appealing packaging that is more familiar to consumers, yet hermetically sealed.

VisionSeal extends shelf life, improves package aesthetics, and offers new branding opportunities. It also uses significantly less material than traditionally over-wrapped containers.

"The VisionSeal traysealer is designed to integrate easily into processors existing lines," said Mark Wilhelm, Multivac's traysealer product manager. "Its compact design fits easily between a plant's automatic cutting machinery and case packing equipment. This allows processors to easily replace existing over-wrap systems without having to reconfigure their entire plant."

Multivac's newest innovation can be used with both fresh and cooked meat and poultry products. Changeover between tooling to accommodate different tray shapes and sizes is rapidly completed. The system's inline configuration and modular design enable seamless integration with other packaging line components such as tray denesters, weigh-price labelers, and identification and pack-off systems.
