Bulk-liquid packaging system serves up savings for Deli Star

摘要

Like many bulk liquid processors, Deli Star Corp. of Fayetteville, IL, has experienced both big opportunities, and big challenges, while serving the fast-growing foodservice market. For more than 20 years, Deli Star has been among the Midwest's premier deli product manufacturers. Offering products that include chicken and tuna salads, diced and shredded meats, dressings, and sauces, among others, the company provides an expanding menu of ready-to-eat meal solutions for the foodservice, food processing, and retail grocery industries. But an inefficient packaging system-using cumbersome, clipped, premade bags, or bag-in-bucket packages-created operational bottlenecks that limited output for its liquid and semi-liquid food products. The company needed a flexible, reliable packaging alternative that could significantly accelerate throughput, with the versatility to package an array of bulk hot- and cold-fill products and offer rapid payback through system-wide savings.
