Food Packaging Solutions
Stock and custom food packaging solutions for processors, manufacturers, distributors and other food businesses that need reliable packaging for storage, transportation, distribution and retail.
Food packaging needs to work across the entire supply chain. It safeguards products during transport, withstands moisture and refrigeration, and enables efficient storage and handling. It also acts as a brand representation for the customer. SCHCI provides numerous food packaging solutions, including:
- Short- and long-term warehousing and inventory storage
- Corrugated boxes, folding cartons, poly bags, liners, as well as chipboard packaging
- Wax corrugated packaging for wet and refrigerated applications like poultry, meat, seafood, and produce
Food Packaging Built Around Your Product
Various food products need distinct types of packaging. A seafood processor packing fresh fish with ice has different requirements than a manufacturer placing shelf-stable products into printed folding cartons. SCHCI assists businesses in evaluating:
- The type, size, weight, and condition of the product, for example, fresh, frozen, or shelf-stable
- Requirements concerning moisture exposure, refrigeration, and storage
- Requirements for shipping and distribution, covering strength, printing, branding, and order quantities
We create packaging that matches the product and the operation, employing either stock or fully custom designs.
Wax Packaging for Wet, Refrigerated, and Perishable Foods
Water, melting ice, refrigeration, condensation, and wet processing environments can degrade untreated corrugated board. SCHCI focuses on wax corrugated packaging that offers moisture resistance and structural strength for:
- Meat, poultry, seafood, fresh fish, and shrimp
- Fruits, vegetables, and other items needing refrigeration or containing high moisture levels
- Applications involving large amounts of water or liquids, including options designed to resist or prevent leaks
Choosing the Right Food Packaging
What is the product, and does it require freezing, refrigeration, or shelf-stable storage?
The physical properties and storage environment determine the required materials and basic design.
Is the product heavy, and will it be exposed to moisture?
Items exposed to water may need wax-treated materials. The item’s weight determines the required box strength and stacking method.
Is the packaging for shipping or retail display, and does it require specific branding or labels?
Shipping containers have different functional requirements than cartons designed for retail presentation.
Is there a standard stock package available?
Using an existing size and configuration is often the most efficient option if it fits the product.
Food Packaging for Poultry, Meat, Seafood, and Produce
Supply chains operate differently from one another. SCHCI develops programs based on your specific inventory arrival, storage requirements, and customer delivery methods. We do not require your business to adapt to a standardized service model.
Poultry & Meat
Combinations of corrugated boxes, wax packaging, poly bags, liners, and labels designed for refrigerated and demanding distribution environments.
Seafood
Packaging addressing water, ice, refrigeration, leakage, and long-distance transportation, including wax corrugated boxes and seafood poly bags.
Agricultural & Produce
Packaging balancing structural strength, moisture resistance, ventilation, and handling requirements.
Poly Bags & Food Packaging Liners
Poly bags and liners provide flexible packaging for food products and processing. They can be used alone or as liners inside corrugated shipping boxes. You may choose other custom, clear, and flat poly bag configurations according to your specific application requirements.
Food Poly Bags
Available configurations include clear, flat, gusseted, and wicketed bags, as well as bags perforated on rolls and custom printed versions.
Poultry Poly Bags
Liners and bags produced to meet specific product sizes, packing methods, and distribution needs.
Folding Cartons for Food Products
Folding cartons provide a versatile option for products needing packaging for retail display, organization, and consumer communication.
- Tuck, auto-bottom, snap-lock, and seal-end cartons, together with inserts, dividers, and partitions
- Custom shapes and sizes, featuring printing and finishing options to enhance shelf visibility
- Selecting the proper carton depends on product weight, packing method, retail setting, and required presentation
Packaging & 3PL Services Under One Roof
Packaging is only one stage in the product’s journey – after products are packed, they may still need to be stored, inventoried, distributed, and transported. SCHCI merges packaging capabilities with a broader 3PL and warehousing operation, which includes warehousing, inventory management, distribution/fulfillment, drayage/transloading, freight services, and specialty warehousing.
Retail & Structural Support
Location is one of the most important factors in choosing a warehouse or 3PL provider – proximity to ports, highways, and consumer markets affects transportation cost, delivery speed, and how efficiently inventory moves. SCHCI operates from two key logistics regions, giving businesses a choice of coast depending on where their customers and suppliers are concentrated:
Point-of-Sale Displays
SCHCI supplies point-of-sale displays for products sold in retail stores. These displays are created based on the product, the quantity of items, the retail setting, and the desired presentation. We provide custom printing and structural design to ensure the displays align with the product’s branding. You may be asked to provide a sample of your product.
Packaging Accessories
Additional packaging materials help protect, organize, separate, or prepare products for storage and transportation, complementing corrugated boxes, bags, and other formats.
Chipboard Packaging
Lightweight paperboard components-like cartons, dividers, partitions, or pads-are used for applications that do not need heavy corrugated shipping containers.
Corrugated Food Packaging
Corrugated boxes serve as a versatile type of food packaging. They are employed to hold, protect, stack, and transport products during processing, warehousing, and distribution.
- Standard and custom corrugated boxes, such as shipping containers and specialized packaging for particular uses
- Custom designs based on product size, weight, board type, and stacking and shipping requirements
- Heavy-duty corrugated packaging for items requiring extra strength for heavy loads and distribution conditions
Custom Design & Stock Packaging
Custom Food Packaging Design
When an existing stock product fails to meet an application’s requirements, SCHCI assesses product dimensions, weight, fragility, moisture exposure, packing procedures, and branding requirements to develop the suitable material, construction, and printing.
Stock Food Packaging
Stock products are efficient when an existing size, style, and construction satisfy the product requirements. SCHCI can review an application to determine whether a stock or custom package is the better choice.
Branding & Labeling
Custom Printed Food Packaging
Packaging displays the identity of the producing company. Custom printing enables the use of company logos, brand colors, and product identification. It also incorporates handling instructions and any other graphics or text requested by the customer.
Industrial Labeling
Labels identify products and supply handling information. They also help organize inventory and support branding throughout the supply chain. A more coordinated outcome is achieved when you consider the package and label together instead of treating labeling as a final step.
