What if there was a shrink bag that could do both? Export Grade & Domestic Recycle Ready

For Australian meat exporters, the Viking APEX Vacuum Shrink Bags are nothing short of a game changer.

 

Offering the perfect blend of extended shelf life and sustainability, these bags tackle two major challenges head-on: keeping meat fresh for international markets and meeting recycle ready standards set by APCO, here at home.

With the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) requiring all packaging to be recyclable, compostable, or reusable by 2025, many exporters were stuck.

 

In boning rooms, where meat is processed for both domestic and export markets, different shrink bags were required for each. Export-grade bags could keep meat safe during long shipments, but they didn’t meet the sustainability standards needed for local sales. 

 

The result? Extra costs, complexity, and headaches.

Now, Viking’s APEX Vacuum Shrink Bags solves this crisis in one fell swoop.

Viking’s innovative APEX vacuum shrink bags provide the shelf life extension and presentation needed for export shipments while being recycle ready and compliant with APCO’s requirements, allowing you to have the ARL ‘Check Locally’ symbol on your shrink bag. 

 

Whether it’s beef, lamb, or any other type of meat, Viking APEX shrink bags are versatile for both export and domestic packaging.

 

This breakthrough eliminates the need for separate packaging materials, reducing variations and streamlining operations for boning rooms.

 

Processors can now source their vacuum shrink bags from a single supplier, cutting costs and simplifying the packaging supply chain process. No more juggling multiple suppliers or managing different materials for different markets.

 

Viking APEX Vacuum Shrink Bags offer meat exporters a powerful advantage: 

  • saving time
  • reducing costs, and
  • meeting sustainability targets without compromising on quality
