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. For HPP, Curwood’s market-leading ICE® film technology provides superior machinability, clarity and memory, while withstanding punishing abuse and expansion. Curwood SPP™ bags offer low haze, high barrier and excellent sealing performance for surface pasteurization applications.
