Beef Steak Packaging Solution

Background:

The client is a European company specializing in premium fresh beef fillet steaks for wholesale and retail. Committed to maintaining freshness, the company strictly avoids freezing and instead requires same-day packaging and distribution. This approach ensures quality but creates high demands on packaging speed, safety, and reliability.
Pain Point:
1. Daily immediate packaging to meet fresh distribution schedules.
2. High-value products at risk of waste and cross-contamination during shipping.
3. Need to package tall fillets exceeding the tray rim.

Solution :

Utien Pack provided the FSC Series Automatic Continuous Tray Sealer, designed to address the client’s key challenges:

• Daily immediate packaging – The high-output tray sealer processes up to 6 trays per cycle at 8 cycles per minute, ensuring fresh beef fillets are packaged to meet same-day distribution schedules.

• Product stability and protection – Using skin packaging, the fillets are firmly fixed in place, preventing liquid leakage, and cross-contamination during transport while maintaining premium presentation.

• Packaging tall fillets – Utien’s patented Unifresh® skin packaging technology enables secure sealing with product protrusion above the tray rim, making it ideal for naturally tall beef fillets.

Results:

The new tray sealing solution fully met the client’s requirements and delivered measurable benefits:

• High efficiency – With a capacity of over 2,800 packages per hour, the system ensures fast and reliable same-day production.

• Leakage prevention – Advanced sealing technology reduced package leakage to less than 0.03%, securing product integrity during distribution.

• Premium presentation & profitability – Superior skin-pack appearance enhanced consumer appeal, helping the client achieve an additional 13% gross profit per package compared to previous solutions.
