FAQs

What customer ask for!

1. What packaging do butchers use for fresh meat?

Butchers typically use foam or compostable trays, absorbent pads and protective wrapping paper to display and pack fresh meat, along with meat bags for customer orders.

2. What are absorbent pads used for in meat trays?

Absorbent pads sit beneath meat or fish in a tray and soak up excess juices, helping keep products looking fresh, presentable and hygienic during storage and display.

3. What is meat protective paper used for?

Meat protective paper is used to wrap or interleave cuts of meat, helping prevent contamination and keeping products separated and protected before they're packed or displayed.

4. Do you offer eco-friendly alternatives to polystyrene meat trays?

Yes. We stock compostable meat and veg trays alongside our polystyrene range, giving butchers and fishmongers a more sustainable packaging option.

5. Do you supply meat bags as well as trays?

Yes. Alongside trays and pads, we stock a dedicated range of meat bags for wrapping and packing customer orders at the counter.
