Active packaging solution extends shelf life in seafood

Maxwell Chase, an Atlanta-based division of CSP Technologies, Inc., debuted SeaWell seafood trays, what is said to be a first-of-its-kind active packaging solution that significantly extends the shelf life of seafood.

The patent-pending SeaWell seafood trays feature integrated absorbent technology incorporated into wells at the bottom of trays to absorb excess fluids. This innovative technology reduces exposure to fluids and lessens potential damage to seafood products. The packaging system increases freshness and visual appeal, absorbs odors and enhances safety.

Available in a signature blue color and a variety of sizes for various capacities, SeaWell trays are said to significantly extend shelf life for fresh seafood, in many cases by up to 50% or greater.

Automation-friendly for high-speed production environments, the trays also offer clear visibility of the packed product, promoting the exchange of authentic product and representing a “case-to-cook” solution for easy execution in industrial kitchens.
