4-Step Cold-Chain Pack-Out Line
Rapid packing cycle that integrates seamlessly with existing conveyor tables and reefer packing staging.
Un-Nest & Stage
Pull pre-nested box bases from high-density pallet stacks in 2 seconds. Zero carton folding, zero taped bottoms, and zero assembly jigs required.
Insert Barrier Liner
Seat food-safe moisture barrier poly liner or absorbent pad into the molded 3D cavity for direct meltwater management during ambient transit.
Load Seafood & Ice
Load chilled fillets, whole finfish, or shellfish directly onto liner. Top with wet flake ice, gel bricks, or dry ice pellets based on target hold duration.
Cap Lid & Band
Friction-fit interlocking lid with stepped rim seal. Secure with standard poly strapping grooves for secure, rigid 5-high reefer pallet stacking.
Proven at Scale: Over 1,200,000 EPS Boxes Eliminated Annually
TransGourmet Seafood deployed the RENW Fiber Box™ across European fresh seafood operations, running direct wet flake ice and 5-high reefer pallet stacking with zero outer carton requirement. Validated across commercial cold rooms (32°F–36°F).
