Post-Packaging Sterilization

Film and Bag Technologies That Defy Abuse

Engineered for the rigors of post-packaging sterilization, Curwood’s high pressure processing (HPP) films and surface post-pasteurization packaging (SPP) shrink bags deliver premium taste, texture and freshness for formed and ready-to-eat meats.
