In the rapidly evolving world of foodservice and retail, packaging is no longer “just packaging.” It plays a critical role in product protection, consumer perception, shelf life, and operational efficiency. Whether you're a supermarket, distributor, processor, or foodservice operator, choosing the right packaging directly impacts your bottom line.
At Darnel, we design solutions that meet today’s real-world challenges — from extending freshness to reducing product loss — while supporting sustainability and operational efficiency across the value chain.
Freshness is one of the strongest drivers of consumer behavior. Shoppers expect food to look vibrant, safe, and appealing from the shelf to their home. But maintaining freshness can be challenging when dealing with highly perishable items like produce, meat, and baked goods.
That’s where smart, high‑performance packaging makes all the difference.
Packaging Designed to Protect and Preserve
Darnel’s product lines — including resq®, ProToGo®, Darnel Naturals®, and our Supermarket Meat & Produce Films — are engineered to deliver high clarity, optimal barrier protection, and reliable durability.
Discover all our productsHere’s how our packaging helps you safeguard your products:
Our overwrap Meat and Produce Films are formulated to allow the proper exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide while protecting food from contamination — a key factor in maintaining color, texture, and quality. This helps reduce shrink, spoilage, and product loss, especially in high‑turn supermarket environments.
High clarity and gloss enhance the visual appeal of packaged foods, giving customers the confidence to choose your products. Whether it's fresh produce, protein, or prepared meals, the right packaging ensures products look their best at first glance.
From distribution to stocking to checkout, packaging must endure constant movement. Darnel’s film and container lines are designed with superior strength, puncture resistance, and secure sealing capabilities — ensuring package integrity throughout the entire supply chain.
Our wide range of films and containers are engineered to work seamlessly with most supermarket and production equipment — DIGI, ISHIDA, Hobart, Ulma, Fabbri, and more — ensuring excellent performance with minimal machine adjustments.
This helps operators maintain efficiency and reduce downtime during peak production periods.
Aligning Packaging with Your Sustainability Goals
Many of Darnel’s solutions are 100% recyclable and developed with circularity in mind. Our resq® line incorporates post‑consumer recycled content, helping businesses lower environmental impact while meeting consumer expectations for responsible packaging.
We continue to invest in innovation that balances sustainability, performance, and cost — ensuring customers never have to compromise.
