What Food & Beverage Operations Need From Packaging

Food and beverage packaging operates under different constraints to general commercial packaging. Hygiene standards, temperature control, product integrity, and compliance requirements all place specific demands on the materials and methods used.

From the production floor to the customer’s door, the right packaging keeps food safe, maintains temperature-sensitive product quality, reduces waste and spoilage, and ensures compliance with food safety standards throughout the supply chain.

01

Food Safety & Hygiene

Packaging that comes into contact with food products must meet food-safe standards. Gloves, clean polythene, and hygienic handling materials help maintain compliance on the production floor.

02

Temperature Control

Chilled and frozen food products require temperature-controlled packaging during transit – insulated polystyrene boxes, gel ice packs, and thermal liners maintain the cold chain from producer to end customer.

03

Produce Ventilation

Fresh fruit, vegetables, and flowers require breathable packaging that allows air circulation while still securing the pallet load – preventing heat build-up and moisture that causes spoilage in transit.

04

Pallet Security & Protection

Palletised food and beverage products need secure wrapping, edge protection, and moisture-proof covers to arrive in saleable condition after road and distribution network transit.

Manufacturing Packaging FAQs

Common questions from Irish food producers, processors, and distributors.

What insulated packaging do you supply for chilled and frozen food?

We supply polystyrene insulated boxes in a range of sizes with wall thicknesses from 15mm to 25mm, suitable for transporting chilled and frozen food products while maintaining temperature during transit. These are used alongside our gel ice packs – available in 275g, 500g, and 1000g sizes – to maintain cold chain temperature for the duration of delivery. For larger volume requirements, contact our team to discuss the right combination of box size and ice pack capacity for your delivery windows and product type.

What is breathable pallet wrap and why is it used for fresh produce?

Breathable pallet wrap is a perforated stretch film that secures pallet loads while allowing air to circulate through the wrap rather than trapping heat and moisture inside. For fresh produce – fruit, vegetables, flowers, and similar perishables – standard stretch film creates a sealed environment that traps ethylene gas, heat, and moisture, accelerating spoilage. Breathable wrap maintains the load security of standard pallet wrap while keeping the load ventilated, significantly reducing spoilage during storage and distribution.

What heat sealers do you supply for food packaging?

We supply a comprehensive range of impulse heat sealers including bar sealers, foot-operated sealers, and continuous band sealers for sealing polythene bags and pouches used in food packaging. We also supply accessories and spare parts including sealing blades, Teflon strips, and element wires. The right sealer depends on your bag material, seal width, and throughput – contact our team to discuss your requirements and we can advise on the correct machine and settings for your application.

Are your polythene bags food safe?

Our polythene bags are manufactured from virgin LDPE and HDPE materials. For specific food contact compliance requirements, please contact our team with details of your application and we will advise on the appropriate product. Food contact compliance requirements vary by application, product type, and the relevant regulations in your market – our team can help you identify the right specification.

Do you supply layer sheets for palletising food and beverage products?

Yes – we supply corrugated layer sheets in standard and Euro pallet sizes, and paper layer sheets for interleaving between layers of product on pallets. Layer sheets provide stability between each tier of the pallet load, distribute the weight evenly, and protect products from surface contact damage. They are widely used in food and beverage operations for palletising bottles, cans, cartons, and bagged products. Contact our team for pricing on the sizes that suit your pallet format.

Do you offer trade accounts and credit terms?

Yes – Ventamac offers trade accounts with credit facilities for qualifying businesses. Trade account customers benefit from volume pricing, dedicated account management and streamlined repeat ordering. Contact us to apply.
