Chub packaging
is cylindrical shaped semi-rigid tubes which is clipped or twist tied
through clips or metal fasteners respectively at either ends. Chub
packaging is used to pack soft food products including pet food, taco
meat, salami, chorizo, sausage, ground turkey, ground beef among others.
Unprinted, white or printed multi-layer films which are usually
developed through co-extrusion are used to pack food products in chub
packaging format. Printed chub films are commonly used to pack
case-ready products.
In comparison to tray-based packaging for
food products, chub packaging is lighter in weight, reduces the amount
of packaging material and reduces transportation cost. Thus, chub
packaging is more sustainable than tray-packaging. Chub packaging also
extends the shelf life of packaged products and have high barrier
properties, puncture resistant, sealability among others. Chub films
have high oxygen and moisture barrier properties. The multi-layer film
that is used for chub packaging of products includes an oxygen barrier
layer, nylon layer, polyethylene layer, abuse layer, heat sealable layer
among others.
Global Chub Films Market: Market Dynamics
The main factors driving the chub films
packaging market is increase in number of packaging units per unit time,
thus increasing line speed and reducing leaker rates.

From January 2017, U.S. based global food
producer Cargill in collaboration with global packaging supplier Bemis
developed a chub film packaging brand EZ Peel for packaging ground beefs
in the U.S. Cargill did a market survey 2015 Cargill Innovation Study
that showed that ~57% consumers of ground beef in the U.S. wanted a
packaging that allowed them to open the chub packaging without touching
raw meat. Cargill is providing Our Certfied brand of ground beef with EZ
Peel feature across retail stores in the U.S. Cargill’s Our Certified
brand of ground beef have a shelf life of ~21 days.
In July 2008, Flexopack patented a film
for chub packaging. The film was invented by George Roussou. Chub
packages are produced by using a vertical form fill seal (VFFS) process.
In VFFS process a tube is formed from a flat roll of a film. The
vertical tube formed is sealed at one end using metal fasteners or
clips. The soft food product such as ground beef is pumped in by a
pumping equipment at the open end of the tube and then the top is sealed
through metal fasteners or clips.
