We have recently purchased a tabletop lidding machine, the T100 from MULTIVAC.  

This equipment expands our capabilities and allows us to perform lidded clamshell shelf-life tests on your produce with a perforation pattern designed to optimize shelf-life.  This machinery also allows for us to utilize active modified atmosphere, where we can gas flush the clamshell at time of pack to extend shelf-life of sensitive items.

We are excited about these new capabilities and the opportunity to improve quality for our customers.
