FACH-PAK has added a new model to its family of insulated containers: the Type 460 PE. This hygienic, triple-wall container features foamed polyethylene insulation and a 118-gallon capacity. The 460 was specifically designed for transporting heavy, fresh food products while maximizing protection from external conditions such as impacts and temperature fluctuations. A distinguishing feature of the 460 is its lower wall height compared to other models, particularly the Type 660, which shares the same base dimensions. This design ensures that products, such as fish, are not overly compressed in the bottom layer, preserving quality and usability for further processing or consumption. more

FACH-PAK’s most popular hygienic insulated container, the Type 660, must meet specific requirements for shape, load capacity, and compatibility depending on customer needs. To address these demands, FACH-PAK has developed three distinct versions of the 660 container. While they may appear similar at first glance, each version is tailored for different users and applications.
- Our goal was to make the Type 660 as versatile as possible. By offering variations in size and design, we can meet a wide range of customer requirements- said Tomasz Budrewicz.

FACH-PAK has combined over a decade of industry experience with its manufacturing capabilities to create a new line of insulated containers made with foamed polyethylene (PE), designed specifically for food processing, including fish and meat processing facilities. These containers are also successfully used by food waste management companies as a stronger alternative to standard single-wall pallet boxes. The concept of insulated containers originated in Scandinavian fisheries, where fishermen used polyurethane (PUR) insulated containers to transport fresh-caught fish from boats to processing facilities. While PUR insulation was effective, it was vulnerable to water infiltration in the event of cracks, which could deform the containers and reduce performance. more

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of using products that support hygiene. FACH-PAK insulated containers, with their monolithic and smooth construction, minimize the accumulation of microorganisms and are easy to clean. The internal insulation, made of foamed polyethylene, prevents the absorption of external moisture and provides additional protection for the products inside.The container walls are triple-layered, offering exceptional resistance to mechanical impacts. An optional tight-fitting lid further protects the contents from external contamination.

FACH-PAK has received new molds at its factory, fulfilling orders placed in recent months. These new models will significantly expand the company’s range of insulated containers, though management emphasizes that this is only the beginning. The investment reflects both a desire to enhance the existing product line and to introduce models that were previously unavailable. It also supports the company’s export expansion, where dimensions, capacities, or other specifications differ from European standards. Serial production is scheduled to begin in May. more

All trade shows and conferences where FACH-PAK had planned to participate have been postponed or rescheduled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This includes major strategic events such as CFIA in France, Logimat and Interpack in Germany, Seafood Processing North America in Boston, and Seafood Processing Global in Belgium. The status of Food Pro in Melbourne, Australia, is also currently uncertain.

Recently, the FACH-PAK team participated in an exclusive training session in Arizona focused on advanced plastic labeling techniques. The program introduced a new and innovative method known as “plastic tattooing,” which ensures exceptionally durable and permanent markings. The dye chemically bonds with polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) materials, creating an irreversible reaction that makes the markings virtually indelible.  more
