The demand for frozen food is increasing, while the sustained convenience trend also contributes to this. Deep-frozen foods require packaging which reliably protects the contents against moisture and the influence of temperature fluctuations along the entire supply chain. The objectives are to optimally support the cooling chain and keep the contents fresh. Here, the barrier solutions from MM Board & Paper are a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to plastic coatings (PE, PP).

Cartonboard solutions for frozen food must fulfil the following requirements

Freeze barrier for maintaining packaging stability, even for low temperatures and temperature fluctuations
Grease barrier for protection against annoying grease spots and discolourations
Combination of freeze barrier and grease barrier (freeze-grease barrier) for protection against moisture and annoying grease spots, above all with fish fingers and oven-ready meals
Good printability for ideal appearance in the freezing compartment
Good performance with converting and packaging facilities for efficient production
