Cascades offers ThermaFresh, a new packaging innovation that is an
ingenious eco-designed option to replace traditional fresh fish packing
containers. By rethinking protective packaging, Cascades provides the industry
with a high-performance, cost-effective solution for the packaging and
distribution of fresh food.
The ThermaFresh container is designed for shipment
of fresh food both inside and outside the cold chain, and its thermal
performance is equivalent to that of the traditional containers. The containers
can keep the food at the required chill level (39°F /4°C ) outside the cold chain for
a period exceeding 48 hours.
The components
of the ThermaFresh container are a water-resistant
corrugated box, a metalized film liner, and a honeycomb structural core. The
thermal barrier uses the principle of radiant barrier technology. The Technicomb
(honeycomb paperboard) construction traps the air inside, and the metalized
film liner reflects the heat molecules; when both are combined, they provide
significant thermal performance. Since the ThermaFresh container is Direct Food Contact compliant, no plastic bag is
required for the shipment of whole fishes.
The smart,
patented waterproof liner is crack-proof and the ThermaFresh container can resist rough handling. This considerably
reduces spoilage and eliminates potential contamination which can occur through
the distribution process.
With this
new alternative container, there is no additional disposal cost to the end
user. The ThermaFresh container is
easily recyclable and it can be bailed within the OCC (Old Corrugated
Container) programs. Thanks to ThermaFresh,
rethinking fresh food distribution packaging provides the industry with the
cost effective, added performance it needed.

“We start with the perfect water, which produces beautifully textured fish, but the other important thing is the way we pack it up. We have a system [of recyclable corrugated cardboard cartons and liners] that makes sure that the chef gets to experience the fish exactly as it was pulled from the water, and then customers get a great dining experience”. Dave Mergle, Skuna Bay's marketing director.
