Crysbro, Sri Lanka’s leading poultry processor, launched their new packing concept, Cryovac Packaging at a ceremony today. Crysbro has extended their product value by tying up with Cryovac Packaging in order to achieve enhanced consumer appeal.
Cryovac packaging will reinforce Crysbro as the leader in the poultry market. This style of packaging assists in improving food hygiene, processing and manufacturing efficiencies as well as better consumer presentation.
Cryovac shrink bags are made of special permeable material formulation and are designed specially for fresh poultry to avoid hydrogen sulphide accumulation which would result in off odour. These shrink wrap vacuum packages offer minimal free moisture and are leak proof.
