#It’s a cold, cold world. 

We know of few industries where more packaging variety is required by more manufacturers with more specific problems than the frozen foods industry. Consumer appeal and store life are a must. You could probably find these problems a headache. Champion Packages finds them a challenge. Here are some of the ways Champion Packages has met the challenge.

Carton coating developes to meet your product’s specific packaging requirements. Coatings for everything from specialty items to frozen dinners to seafoods. Extruded and laminated films engineered to meet the most demanding barrier requirements. 

Champion Packages begins the hob with package design and finishes it with service locations near you. To make your world cozier.

[additional notes]

• including the problems with the Space race: better storage for food 

• the problems of trying to maintain products but also market them for their ‘rich quality’

• dealing with the tensions of freezing

• the blue from the image and the circles emphasize the centrality of coldness/freezing for the food industry 

• the new revolution is based on the ‘cold’ and how can one enforce that in their technologies 

• films: still being used in order to package food, but how healthy are they when considering PFOS and the consumer?

• the company does the job for the buyer, to take on the problems that the industry does not want to deal with 

• repetition of ‘Champion Packages’ 

Why is there always such an emphasis on seafoods in this era?

• the improvement of the refrigerator allowed for markets to store more foods, where seafood became a new staple 

• more abundance and stability in the freezing department 

• consumers are now able to have an extended food cuisine/ more variance/options

• could seafood be used as a way to encourage Americans to eat more frozen food? 

• regulation for new foods led to an explosion of seafoods/cusisines that have yet to be explored

Films on Food?:

• to preserve the contents of the food inside their packaging, but also to surpass the barriers the refrigeration imposes: there can be dryness, mold, and less freshness

• texture and freshness then become preserved

What is the National Frozen Food Convention?

• a place in which indusries were able to show what convenience foods or specialties they wanted to sell, giving a presentation of their new products further pushes the convenience market

Themes: coldness, freshness, freezer containment, appeal, challenging, quality, storage,
