Foopak Anchor Plus: Sustainable Strength for Frozen, Seafood, and Fresh Food Packaging

Food businesses today are under pressure to balance two priorities. They must meet consumer expectations for safe, durable packaging while also reducing environmental impact. Foopak Anchor Plus is a paperboard designed to answer both needs. Built with strength, moisture resistance, and sustainable features, it provides food brands with a reliable choice for frozen, seafood, and fresh food packaging.

Meeting Brand and Consumer Demands

Shoppers today want packaging that keeps food safe and fresh while also protecting the planet. Recent 2025 surveys show that almost all consumers (90%) prefer eco-friendly packaging, of consumers say they are more likely to buy from brands with eco-friendly packaging, while a significant share (often around 40-50%) are willing to pay extra. Moreover, paper- or fibre-based packaging is increasingly preferred for its compostability and recyclability. For example, 67% of respondents cited paper/cardboard as the most compostable/biodegradable option.

Foopak Anchor Plus is designed to meet these expectations. Its strong paperboard structure protects heavy and moisture-rich products such as seafood, meat, and frozen meals, giving brands a dependable and sustainable choice.

Advanced Barrier and Moisture Protection

One of the biggest challenges in packaging seafood and frozen food is moisture. When exposed to cold or humid conditions, many packaging materials break down or lose their shape. Foopak Anchor Plus paperboard has built-in barrier and moisture protection that prevents water absorption and keeps the packaging firm.

This ensures that frozen food boxes remain intact, seafood packages stay clean, and fresh food products are well protected during transport and storage. With its performance under tough conditions, Anchor Plus helps brands avoid damaged packaging and product loss.

Sustainability in Every Sheet

While performance is key, sustainability is equally important. Foopak Anchor Plus paperboard is produced using fiber from responsibly managed forests, ensuring a renewable supply chain. Unlike plastic or mixed-material packaging that can take centuries to decompose, paperboard is recyclable and biodegradable, which reduces waste in landfills.

This sustainable approach allows brands to show their commitment to eco-friendly practices, which is becoming a key factor for consumer loyalty. Customers today want to support companies that actively reduce their environmental impact, and Foopak Anchor Plus gives businesses a way to meet that expectation.
