Food and Meat Packaging Suppliers for Industrial Processing

Packaging decides everything in food manufacturing. Shelf life, product safety, moisture retention, appearance, transportation stability, cooking performance and consumer experience — they all depend on the quality of your packaging materials. That’s why choosing the right Food Packaging Suppliers is one of the most important decisions a food processor can make.

Unipac supplies bulk food packaging materials built for heavy-duty, industrial use. Whether you process meat, cheese, poultry, deli items, RTE meals or fresh foods, you need packaging that performs consistently at high production speeds. Weak material slows down your line. Strong packaging keeps production steady. Reliable packaging protects your product and your reputation.

We support food processors across North America with shrink bags, vacuum bags, films, netting, trays, pouches, liners, tapes and other food packaging supplies and materials designed for durability and compliance.

Bulk Food Packaging Materials for Meat, Cheese and Processed Foods

Industrial plants don’t work with small packs. They need packaging that arrives in bulk, maintains uniformity across thousands of units and works seamlessly with fully automated equipment. Your average run might be in the tens of thousands. You don’t have room for film tears, seal failures or faulty trays.

As full-scale Food Packaging Suppliers, we supply materials that match the needs of:

• • Meat and poultry processors
• • Cheese and dairy facilities
• • Deli meat manufacturers
• • Ready-to-eat food producers
• • Fresh food packers
• • Retail and food service brands
• • Co-packers and private label processors

Strong industrial packaging allows your fillers, sealers, smokers, vacuum chambers and MAP equipment to run smoothly without interruptions.

Meat Packaging Materials for High-Volume Production

Meat production demands packaging with strength, seal reliability, correct barrier properties and the ability to withstand chilling, freezing, smoking or cooking. These products often need oxygen barriers, moisture barriers, durable seals and the flexibility to hold sharp edges like bone-in cuts.

We supply meat packaging materials such as:

• • Vacuum shrink bags
• • High-barrier films
• • Bone guard packaging
• • Meat trays
• • MAP-compatible trays and films
• • Netting for roasts and cured meats
• • Poly bags and freezer-safe liners
• • Butcher-grade wraps and sheets

Whether you process sausages, smoked meats, fresh cuts or RTE items, your packaging has to handle tough conditions. That’s why processors across North America look for food packaging material suppliers who understand real production environments.

Films, Pouches, Liners and High-Barrier Solutions

Different products require different packaging behaviours. Some need moisture retention. Some need oxygen control. Some need transparency for retail display. Others need durability for transport, freezing or cooking cycles.

Our catalog includes:

• • Thermoforming and top films
• • High-barrier and medium-barrier films
• • Pouches in various gauges and formats
• • Shrink films for poultry and meats
• • Cheese packaging films
• • Food-safe liners and bags
• • Tapes and sealing materials

Everything is designed to work with industrial sealers, vacuum machines, form-fill-seal lines, tray sealers and other automated equipment.

Shrink Bags, Vacuum Bags and MAP Packaging Options

Packaging isn’t just about wrapping a product. It shapes shelf life, colour stability, drip control, microbial safety and consumer appeal. That’s why we offer a complete range of industrial packaging options.

Vacuum Bags

Great for meat, cheese, deli items and frozen foods. They improve shelf life, reduce oxidation and maintain product freshness.

Shrink Bags

Perfect for poultry, meats and smoked products. They protect shape, enhance appearance and deliver strong seal integrity.

MAP Packaging (Modified Atmosphere Packaging)

Essential for fresh foods, meat, poultry and ready meals. MAP-compatible trays and films extend the life of short-shelf products and improve presentation.

Packaging failures in these areas immediately affect production throughput. Strong Food Packaging Suppliers help plants avoid downtime altogether.

Packaging Materials Designed for Safety and Compliance

Food safety requirements grow stricter every year, and processors need packaging that supports compliance rather than complicates it. Materials must be certified, traceable, heat-stable, food-grade and resistant to contamination.

We ensure every product meets:

• • North American food safety standards
• • Industry-specific compliance requirements
• • Proper documentation and traceability
• • High-grade manufacturing standards

Processors choose us not just because we supply bulk food packaging materials, but because we help facilities avoid packaging-related safety risks.

Why Food Processors Choose Unipac as Their Packaging Partner

Here’s what facilities tell us when they switch to us:

Predictable Quality

Packaging arrives consistent in gauge, strength, colour, seal performance and barrier level.

Bulk Availability

We stock materials suited for monthly or weekly recurring orders.

Compatibility With Industrial Equipment

Films seal cleanly. Bags fit machines properly. Trays perform well under MAP, vacuum or heat cycles.

Operational Efficiency

Strong packaging reduces waste, improves yield and helps lines run at full capacity.

Reliable Communication

Production teams get clear updates on orders, documentation and delivery timelines.

You’re not just looking for food packaging distributors. You’re looking for a partner who understands how packaging influences your entire line.

Packaging for Meat, Cheese, RTE Foods, Poultry and More

Different categories require different packaging characteristics, and we support all major segments of the food industry.

Meat and Poultry

Vacuum bags, shrink bags, MAP trays, bone guard, barrier films.

Cheese and Dairy

Vacuum films, shrink bags, block packaging, cheese wraps.

Deli and Processed Meats

Fibrous and cellulose-compatible packaging, barrier pouches, heat-stable films.

Ready-to-Eat Foods

Trays for oven- or microwave-ready items, leak-resistant films, high-barrier solutions.

Fresh Foods

Breathable films and trays for produce, bakery and chilled products.

Strong industrial packaging makes your final product look better, last longer and travel safely.

Bulk Ordering, Cost Planning and Logistics for Large Facilities

Industrial plants don’t buy packaging occasionally — they buy it constantly. We’ve designed our supply chain to support:

• • Long-term recurring shipments
• • Bulk case lots
• • High-volume purchasing
• • Seasonal spikes and production surges
• • Cost efficiency through consolidated shipments
• • Clear lead times and stable availability

Good Food Packaging Suppliers must be excellent logistics partners too. Your packaging is only useful if it arrives on time.

Improving Production Efficiency Through Correct Packaging Choices

Packaging touches every part of your production line — mixing, filling, sealing, chilling, freezing, cooking, shipping and retail presentation. When the wrong packaging is used, production slows down. When the right packaging is used, everything runs smoother.

Correct packaging improves:

• • Seal integrity
• • Product presentation
• • Shelf life
• • Food safety
• • Throughput at peak hours
• • Run consistency on automated machinery
• • Waste reduction
• • Margin protection

Food packaging supplies and materials should help your operation — not create bottlenecks.

Helping Plants Match Packaging to Product Requirements

One of the common issues we see is plants using packaging materials that don’t fully match their needs. A high-moisture product might require a different barrier level. A smoked sausage needs different permeability than a fresh sausage. Cheese blocks need different puncture resistance compared to poultry.

Our team guides processors through:

• • Choosing barrier levels
• • Matching material to equipment type
• • Deciding between vacuum, shrink or MAP
• • Selecting tray sizes and gauges
• • Improving yield through correct packaging formats
• • Creating cost efficiencies with material substitution

Being effective Food Packaging Suppliers means solving problems, not just filling orders.
