Game Meat & Specialty Packaging
Custom packaging for game meat processors and specialty cheese producers, including venison, elk, bison, and artisan cheese.
Game Meat, Cheese & Custom Cuts
Game meat and specialty protein products come in non-standard sizes and shapes that off-the-shelf packaging simply can't accommodate. Friesen Plastics works with custom meat processors and specialty food producers to create packaging tailored to the unique dimensions of venison, elk, bison, and artisan cheese products.
Our game and specialty accounts include Meat & Cheese. We produce bags in custom sizes for non-standard cuts, from bison ribeye to elk jerky to whole venison legs. All films are freezer-grade rated for the extended frozen storage typical of game meat products. For cheese producers, we offer modified atmosphere and vacuum packaging formats to maintain product freshness.
