Cost savings - no need for pre-blanching or pre-cooking, thus reducing manufacturing and processing time and costs, as well as energy and water use Material Handling - Reduced package weight and size eliminates the need for bulky cans/bottles during processing and makes waste handling, transportation, storage, use and disposal easier. Bulk waste is reduced and cleanup and disposal requires a fraction of the space and processing time of traditional jars, glass bottles or semi-rigid thermoformed containers. Convenience - Consumers find the bags easy to handle, store and dispose of, and the steaming bags are easy to open without piercing metal or requiring additional tools. Safety - while heating liquids in cans creates dangerous pressure and opening cans can leave sharp edges, steaming bags are easy and safe to handle Branding- Increase consumer visibility by expanding branding and labeling surface area and product display locations Quality- Food can be cooked safely and evenly, and overcooking or uneven cooking of canned foods can be avoided. Design Options- Steamer packs are available in a variety of sizes and configuration shapes, printable surfaces, and a variety of hanging or standing methods. Packages can be flat, oval, truncated conical, or virtually any shape imaginable and designed with the obvious limitations of canned or bottled foods.
