Essex Board
Essex board is a highly compact board for use in furniture construction. A smooth, lightweight alternative to plywood sheets, easy to cut & shape for pelmets and more.
Strong, chilled-chain packaging that performs under pressure
Fresh meat and seafood products require packaging that can withstand moisture, temperature fluctuations, and frequent handling. Boxes and trays must stay rigid in cold storage, resist condensation, and protect goods during transit without leaking or collapsing.
Our meat and fish packaging boards are engineered for strength, hygiene, and dependability. Using moisture-resistant materials, they perform in demanding chilled and frozen environments. From production line to retail shelf while supporting sustainability commitments.
Durable cardboard solutions for meat & fish processing
Built for reliability, hygiene, and recyclability. These boards offer a strong alternative to plastic in demanding food environments.
Reliable cardboard for chilled and frozen goods
Our boards are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of chilled and frozen supply chains, trusted by processors, packers, and distributors across the UK.
- Formats: sheets, rolls, or die-cut trays and layer pads
- Materials: PE-lined, kraft-lined, or coated white greyboard for added moisture protection
- Applications: fish boxes, meat trays, pallet layer sheets, and inserts for export packaging
Each board is cut and finished to meet food industry standards, providing consistent performance through handling, storage, and shipping.
Strength, hygiene & stability
Cardboard packaging for meat and fish provides measurable advantages:
- Resists moisture and condensation in cold storage and transit
- Maintains rigidity under heavy or palletised loads
- Prevents contamination with clean, food-safe materials
- Reduces product damage during handling and export
- Recyclable and compliant with food packaging regulations
A dependable, sustainable packaging choice that balances performance and responsibility.
