Pak pads

Our MeatPad knows how to keep your meat fresh for longer.

Presentation is the key. Fresh, appetising presentation of goods signals quality. It significantly influences purchase decisions. Every type of meat, however, has different requirements for absorption pads. MeatPad meets these demands with micro-pore technology.

Optimising presentation, minimising waste.

MeatPad can do both. It prevents meat from swimming in its own juice, as blood and meat juices do not only look unpleasant in the packaging, but also provide an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. MeatPad minimises bacterial growth and just simply keeps the product fresh for longer. Food wastage is thus significantly reduced. MeatPad gives support in any situation. It also ensures absorption and binding of meat juices when at an angle.

FishPad. No dripping in transport – but padding with assurance!

Well checked in. Clean delivery. The FishPad secures storage and transport of fresh fish. It is essential when transporting fish by air when it is stored on ice. It absorbs the melt water in polystyrene boxes before it can run away. And, by the way, it stops the melt water from watering down the quality of the product.

You need help, so that fish gets to the consumer fresh

The absorbent FishPad supplies this – individually customised to the product. Its innovative product design gives the best conditions for transport: on land, on water and in the air.
In air/transport boxes, display and GN trays it prevents liquid from running off. And on the fresh fish bar it makes an invaluable contribution to sales promoting presentations. This how it distinguishes itself as an important element in the value added chain.

FruitPad. Against mould formation. For longer freshness.

Presentation is the key. The FruitPad ensures fresh and appetising presentation of the product. Fruit and berries have different requirements. FruitPad will meet all these demands!.

Optimising presentation, minimising waste.

o buy or not to buy? The decision is made in seconds. Soft fruit displays its freshness at first glance. The art is to optimise the shelf life of this sensitive fruit on the way to the consumer – and with it their yield too. Gently bedded on FruitPads with micro-pore technology, soft fruit is best protected from pressure, juicing-out and mould. It stays fresh longer for eating.

Up to 55 % less waste.

As soon as the fruit is stored on top of the FruitPad, it starts to give longer freshness. The structure of the surface with its excellent cushioning actively shields against pressure. Pressure points, which cause cellular damage and juices running off, are reduced. Escaping fruit juice is absorbed directly via the surface and sides of the pad and is captured in the core. The quick absorption of liquid prevents the formation of mould and delays microbiological growth. In this way the strawberry red and blackberry black FruitPads reduce waste by up to 55%.

• Absorbency: Whether liquid is naturally released or from damaged
  fruit, McAirlaid’s FruitPad absorbs from both the surface and the sides.
• Breathability: The micro pore structure supports the packaging ventilation system required by soft fruits.
• Protection: The pads are designed to have excellent cushioning with
  minimal raw material.
• Presentation: Let us showcase your product and increase shelf appeal.
• Hygiene: With rewet almost eliminated, microbial growth and mould is significantly reduced – this is active waste reduction!
• Handling: Consistent product parameters result in superior machinability and efficiency.

Sometimes there must be simply more absorption power.

The innovative MeatPad Plus absorbs the escaping liquids in no time at all. Not just the usual meat juices, but also water and oil based liquids. The secret of its high performance: the innovative SuperCore Plus material.

You don’t need chemistry for more absorption power, but a patented product design.

SuperCorePlus delivers an impressive performance even without superabsorbers. Longer cellulose fibres in the core form larger cavities, which can take up more liquid. This forms a capillary effect and with it – surprisingly high absorption power: up to 4,000 ml /per m2. All this with only 100 % pure cellulose! The patented solution for anyone requiring the greatest performance without superabsorbers.

The facts in brief.

• 100% virgin cellulose core with no synthetic binders
• No superabsorbers
• High absorption up to 4.000ml/m²
• Not listed in the category „active packaging”
• Independent of the EU regulation 450/2009
• Fulfills all BfR guidelines and certificates such as SWAN, PEFSC
•  More space inside the core – therefore higher capillary action
• Greater fluid distribution independent of minerals such as salt or alcohol
• Absorbs water- and oily-based fluids

CO2 Pad. Longer shelf life.
Greater freshness.

The CO₂ Pad gifts you time. Transport time. Storage time. And presentation time. It increases the shelf life of sensitive products by up to five days. This recommends it for the challenge of handling fish, seafood and poultry. The pad introduces CO₂ into the packaging, which stems the growth of bacteria. This takes you to a winning zone. Not only as far as time is concerned.

Presentation wins too.

As the CO₂ Pad absorbs free-flowing liquid, the products always give an impression of freshness. Even after a long journey, your product arrives appetisingly fresh in the chiller cabinet. With this, the innovative CO₂ Pad also opens new perspectives for stress-free logistics. It frees you from time pressure during transport, storage and presentation. Your valuable product is simply more valuable for longer.

The facts in brief

• Delay in microbial growth 
• Additional saving of logistics costs
• Secure capture of absorbed liquids 
• Intelligent CO₂ management in the packaging 

The innovative CO2 Pad can stem bacterial growth. 

it creates a protective atmosphere that measurably extends the shelf life of sensitive products. Fish and seafood, packaged in this modified protective atmosphere, stays fresh for up to five days longer. For poultry this time gain goes up to three days. 

Active CO₂ release verifiably improves the climate in the packaging and shelf life is extended. Superfluous liquid is locked in the absorption core. 

When others come under pressure, MeatGuard gives the highest performance.

MeatGuard shows that it can do more when high demands are made. It is the special airlaid for products releasing high levels of liquid. MeatGuard captures impressive amounts of liquid in the absorbent core and does not release them even when under pressure.

MeatGuard utilises the third dimension.

Its 3D-surface system with profiled material structure is designed for the highest levels of absorption performance. Thanks to its micro-perforation with funnel-shaped pores, it can absorb more liquid in less time. MeatGuard easily absorbs large amounts of liquid and captures it with absolute SuperCore core competence in its absorption core. With this, it is ideal for products, which lose a lot of liquid such as pork, chicken or turkey 

Built-in high performance. MeatGuard is designed as “closed pad”. Super-absorbers are built into the core, where they achieve the unbelievable. Absorbed liquid is turned into gel and is securely locked into the core. The pad does not release the absorbed liquid even when it comes under pressure. You can rely on the SuperCore core competence even for sophisticated presentation of goods. The product stays appetisingly fresh for longer.

So that beef passes the maturation test with the best grades.

VAC-Guard ensures a difference you can taste,
smell and see.

And this in proven quality. VAC-Guard was tested by the German Institute for Food Technology (Deutsches Institut für Lebensmitteltechnik e.V. / DIL) in a maturation study and judged as very good. Amongst other, taste, smell and look were inspected. Using the multi-layer pad VAC-Guard, significantly improved the sensor technology on all levels. 

The facts in brief

• SuperCore absorption core
• Purer taste
• Natural smell of the meat
• Improved look (structure and packaging)
• Consumer friendly handling

VAC-Guard was test winner!

Compared to other vacuum packaging VAC-Guard clearly achieved the best results. Meat had the most natural taste. When the packaging was opened sour smells were significantly reduced. 
The meat did not swim in its own juice – a clear optical advantage. The pad had absorbed the liquid. No meat juices flowed out when the packaging was opened. A plus for consumer friendly handling. And good a prerequisite for bringing your high-end product to the customer under the best of conditions. 

Tested by the German Institute for Food Technology and found to be very good.
