Adhesive Solutions for Cold Chain Packaging

Protect Product Quality Throughout the Cold Supply Chain

Complex cold-chain logistics including extreme temperatures, condensation and refrigeration make packaging integrity from carton sealing and tray forming to pallet stability more challenging.

That's why food manufacturers need solutions designed for every stage of the packaging journey. Discover how the right partner can help improve efficiency, reduce waste, protect products, and support sustainability goals across your entire operation.

Packaging Challenges We Help Solve

Cold chain food manufacturers operate in one of the most demanding packaging environments. Even minor packaging failures can result in rejected packs, damaged products, production downtime, customer complaints, and unnecessary costs.

Common Challenges

Challenge Our Solution
Package failures during refrigerated and frozen storage High-performance case and carton sealing adhesives
Packaging components need to perform under flash freeze conditions High-performance case and carton sealing adhesives
Condensation and moisture impacting package integrity Adhesives designed for cold-chain conditions
Tray deformation or bond failure during transport Reliable tray-forming solutions
Pallet instability throughout distribution Advanced palletizing adhesives
Production inefficiencies High-speed adhesive technologies
Sustainability pressures requiring material reduction without sacrificing performance Material-efficient packaging solutions

Case Sealing Adhesives

Cases need to remain securely sealed from packaging lines to refrigerated warehouses and frozen distribution networks. Our solutions provide reliable sealing performance in challenging cold-chain conditions and high-moisture environments, helping protect products and maintain supply chain efficiency.

Benefits

Reliable adhesion in temperature-controlled conditions
Strong package integrity throughout cold chain distribution
Reduced case failures
High-speed application
Improved packaging line efficiency

Tray Forming & Carton Closing Adhesives

Whether packaging refrigerated ready meals, dairy products, or frozen foods, trays and cartons must maintain their strength at very low temperatures during transport and retail handling. Our solutions provide strong, consistent bonds across a variety of substrates while supporting efficient production and consistent secondary packaging quality.

Benefits

Strong tray and carton integrity throughout the cold chain
Reliable bonding on coated and lightweight paperboard
Reduced rejects and rework
High-speed manufacturing performance
Consistent package quality

Palletizing Adhesives

Cold chain distribution often involves long transportation routes and multiple handling points. Load instability can increase product damage and transportation costs. Our palletizing adhesives help improve load stability while reducing reliance on stretch film and other packaging materials.

Benefits

Improved pallet stability
Reduced transport damage
Lower stretch film consumption
Support for automated logistics environments
