CFS: Shrink pack system

The CFS ShrinkPak System combines the benefits of a thermoformer with the advantages of CFS shrinkfilm material.

Feb 21st, 2008

The system provides automation, easy handling and continous packaging as well as high shrinkage up to 40%. This leads to cost savings up to 30% compared to traditional shrink bag handling. Because the CFS ShrinkPak System offers appealing product presentation for any shape product, it’s ideal for fish packaging. The in-line packaging process protects against product contamination, increasing shelf life. The size of the line is always customized and reaches from a small machine for end consumer packs up to big systems for transport and ripening packs. A CFS performance guarantee means full technical support for the entire contract.
