Fresh Food Packaging

Protecting product quality from packing line to point of sale with reliable equipment.

Fresh food operations face the challenge of protecting product quality from the packing line to the point of sale. They depend on high-quality packaging equipment to ensure seals and wrapping stay intact through handling, storage and distribution.

Plexpack designs and manufactures industrial food packaging equipment that's purpose-built for the demands of fresh food production. Food manufacturers and packers throughout North America rely on our systems to make sure their products arrive at distributors and retailers exactly as intended. Every food packaging solution is made-to-order and tailored to your specific product, volume and production environment, so you get equipment that works best for your operation.

Our Packaging Solutions for Food Products

Plexpack offers three main equipment lines, designed to handle a wide range of applications:

Emplex™ Bag Sealing Systems

Our Emplex™ line of commercial fresh food bag sealers delivers strong, hermetic seals at high speed. These systems seal bags of salad mixes, shredded cheese, fish fillets, deli meats and more with precision and reliability. Emplex™ sealers can also be used as packaging equipment for fresh, grab-and-go snacks. Configurations range from continuous band sealers for food packaging to NEMA-rated washdown models.

Damark™ Shrink Wrapping and Bundling

For display-ready packaging, multipacks and product bundling, Damark™ commercial food shrink wrap machines provide a tight, professional appearance while keeping products protected. Options include semi-automatic and fully automatic food shrink-wrapping machines for higher-volume lines. We also have manual configurations as a cost-effective option for lower-volume operations.

VacPack™ Vacuum and Gas Flush Sealing

Need to keep products fresh longer? VacPack™ systems remove oxygen or replace it with a controlled gas blend, creating a modified atmosphere that extends shelf life and protects product quality. VacPack™ sealers are available in compact tabletop and floor stand models.

Plexpack offers sanitary food-sealing equipment constructed from food-grade stainless steel and NEMA 4- and 4X-rated electrical enclosures that keep water out during washdown. These systems withstand frequent cleaning and support the sanitation needs of fresh food production environments.
