Chub packaging has been around seemingly forever (since the 1940s) but continues to capture market share. That’s because it offers advantages for processors, retailers and consumers including extended shelf life, sustainable attributes and good economics for products such as ground beef, ground turkey, sausage, chorizo, salami, taco meat and pet food.
Other market forces encouraging adoption of chub packaging include growing demand for ground beef and rising protein consumption in developing countries as incomes expand, according to Chub Packaging Market — Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2016-2024, a market study by Transparency Market Research.
