Chicken and Turkey Packaging

Whether you seal bags of whole chickens or vacuum-pack frozen portions, every product has to come off the line in leakproof packaging. Chicken needs to be protected by a hermetic seal to prevent contamination throughout the supply chain, so a failed seal results in rework, waste or both. The poultry industry relies on packaging equipment that produces hermetic seals consistently. Meanwhile, frequent high-pressure washdowns and chemical sanitizers put wear on equipment, which is why the durability of machinery working with fresh food products matters as much as sealing performance.

Plexpack builds reliable poultry packaging machines for wet, high-volume processing environments, engineered to create airtight seals to protect a range of products.

Sealed Freshness

Packaging equipment trusted for maintaining freshness.

Poultry Packaging Solutions for Chicken and Turkey

Poultry operations range from small processors to high-volume plants that package thousands of birds a day — and each has different equipment requirements. As a designer and manufacturer of chicken and turkey packaging equipment, Plexpack configures each system around your product, line speed and package format.

VacPack vacuum sealing systems for seafood and fish

VacPack™ Vacuum and Gas Flush Sealing

Fresh poultry spoils quickly, and vacuum packaging is one of the most effective ways to slow it down. VacPack™ sealers remove the air or replace it with a controlled gas blend to extend shelf life on a variety of poultry products.

Emplex™ Bag Sealing Systems

For standard bagging, Emplex™ continuous band sealers form hermetic seals at high production speeds, ideal for bags of chicken breasts, portioned cuts and frozen poultry. For irregularly shaped products like whole birds and bone-in parts, our semi-automatic sealers use a V-infeed rail and angled conveyor to position each bag for a clean, consistent seal. Both are available as washdown-ready bag sealers for chicken and other food products.

Damark™ Shrink Wrapping and Bundling

Damark™ shrink wrap packaging systems apply heat-activated film that conforms tightly around each package. Common poultry applications include tray-packed chicken portions and frozen poultry bundles. Manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic models are available to match your production volume and budget.

 
 

Sanitary Poultry Packaging Systems Built for Washdown

Poultry facilities undergo rigorous daily cleaning cycles, and packaging equipment must be built to withstand them. Plexpack manufactures hygienic poultry vacuum sealers, band sealers and shrink wrapping systems with stainless steel construction that allows for fast and thorough washdown. NEMA-rated enclosures are standard on washdown bag sealers and available across other models.
