Moisture is a silent problem for fresh food packaging, from chicken to leafy greens. It shortens shelf life, dulls presentation, and diminishes taste. That’s why Easypak developed a solution to stop that sabotage in its tracks. ²Ñ´Ç¾±²õ³Ù³Ü°ù±ð³¢´Ç°ìâ„¢ offers a smarter way to manage 20-60ml of liquid and keep products fresh.Ìý

Easypak’s innovative approach to moisture management helps meat, seafood, and fresh produce suppliers improve product quality and reduce waste. It’s ideal for meat and produce replacement trays and serves as a sustainable upgrade from EPS foam.Ìý

To achieve all that, they needed to tackle a variety of challenges.Ìý

THE CHALLENGE

All fresh food products release moisture. It might be purge from proteins like meat, fish, and poultry, or the natural condensation of vegetables. Either way, this excess moisture becomes a significant problem for producers and consumers.Ìý

Too much moisture accelerates product degradation, which affects purchasing decisions and shelf life. Opening a package to find liquid around the food creates an immediate negative reaction. It’s an unpleasant experience, but at worst, it suggests spoilage or poor quality.Ìý

Traditional packaging solutions often rely on absorbent pads. But these components increase packaging complexity, raise costs, and contribute to environmental waste. Worse, they don’t address the root issue. Today, as the industry moves toward EPS foam replacement and sustainability, smarter, integrated packaging solutions are critical.Ìý

THE SOLUTION

Easypak’s answer to these challenges is ²Ñ´Ç¾±²õ³Ù³Ü°ù±ð³¢´Ç°ìâ„¢, bridging the gap between light moisture control and the advanced capture of Elevate Freshness. At the core of ²Ñ´Ç¾±²õ³Ù³Ü°ù±ð³¢´Ç°ìâ„¢ is Easypak’s patented honeycomb “hex” pattern technology. The design works like a structured network at the base of the meat tray and other packaging types to trap up to 60ml of liquid.Ìý

The ²Ñ´Ç¾±²õ³Ù³Ü°ù±ð³¢´Ç°ìâ„¢ system utilizes the natural properties of liquid flow and surface tension. As moisture is released from fresh food, the hex structure channels it away into capture areas. The geometric precision maximizes liquid capacity while supporting the packaging’s integrity.Ìý

What sets Easypak’s solution apart is its ability to integrate with existing processes and systems. The design is compatible with standard packaging, delivering enhanced moisture management capability.Ìý

THE RESULTS

By isolating liquid from fresh foods, ²Ñ´Ç¾±²õ³Ù³Ü°ù±ð³¢´Ç°ìâ„¢ reduces the impact of excess moisture. 51±¾É« maintain their appeal throughout their shelf life, and the customer enjoys a superior product presentation from purchase to consumption.Ìý

Ultimately, ²Ñ´Ç¾±²õ³Ù³Ü°ù±ð³¢´Ç°ìâ„¢ delivers extra value for producers at every step and more:Ìý

  • Traps liquids from meats, dense produce, and proteinsÌý
  • Preserves freshness through the entire supply chain to consumptionÌý
  • Elevates brand presence and product perceptionÌý
  • Integrates with production processes and automation systemsÌý
