Packall produces quality products that will ensure that all food packaged will reach the consumer fresh. The companies require a longer shelf life in order to keep the costs or producing the finished consumable food and reduce the waste of spoiled food.

Therefore, Packall uses materials in our production that are non-post-consumable or previously recycled. To ensure the food product reaches the consumer fresh and unspoiled the material used to manufacture our films is classified as a recyclable code 7 by the ASTM International Resin Identification Coding System and is recyclable only where facilities exist.
