Flexicomb also employs FiberSmart technology, which is available with a cohesive coating option.
Also, in collaboration with Trans Industrial Packaging Ltd., Cascades offers ThermaFresh, a new industrial packaging innovation that is an ingenious eco-designed option to replace traditional fresh fish packing containers.
