Frozen
Flexible frozen product packaging solutions for frozen foods
The Frozen Food Packaging sector is one of the fastest growing retail food categories and this growth is set to continue. In fact, combined retail and food service frozen food sales are expected to exceed £10bn by 2025.
Technological advances and innovation have transformed the sector and dispelled old fashioned stereo types associated with frozen food. Consumers can now enjoy a home version of trendsetting restaurant dishes and with people now experiencing busier life styles, reaching for a healthy, convenient and delicious meal from the freezer seems to be an attractive proposition when time is limited. Freezer foods can also have a huge impact on reducing food waste and in turn carbon emissions.

Constantia FFP have many years’ experience in producing high quality frozen food packaging and will work with you to select the correct films and barriers to meet your product’s requirements. A significant advantage to using flexible packaging for frozen product packaging is the weight and space saving it can provide. Flexible packaging can take up far less space in the freezer than a rigid container and can also offer the benefit of a reclose function which is ideal for convenience and portion control.
