News: Press Releases: Edible, Printable Films

CMS introduces Flavorseal® edible, printable films to preserve meat quality.

Printable film allows processor’s logo to remain on the product after packaging has been removed.

August 22, 2006—Flavorseal® edible films from CMS (Carroll Manufacturing and Sales) are an excellent branding tool to keep your logo in front of customers. Your logo and other information can be printed directly onto a protein surface that keeps juices in and increases yields. All Flavorseal edible films are non-species and plant-based, so cross-species concerns are eliminated.

The term edible film refers to a continuous barrier that is formed as the film adheres to the surface of the food, acting as a casing or wrap. Edible films coat food surfaces and reduce purge; preserve product quality by forming an oxygen barrier; carry functional ingredients such as antioxidants; add flavor and color; improve freezer stability; and improve appearance, structure and handling.

Available in roll form or precut sheets, Flavorseal edible films play an important role in the quality, safety, transportation, storage, and display of many fresh and processed foods.

CMS specializes in packaging systems and products for the meat and food processing, foodservice, and retail markets, providing customized solutions for protecting food quality while helping companies boost productivity and profits.
