Q: Packaging for fresh whole chicken and duck
In cooperation with another poultry breeder i am intending to produce a range of whole chicken and duck using traditional and rare breeds reared in large numbers for a niche market. I am looking to use sturdy cardboard boxes with a see through film window for a high standard of presentation to package them. Could you make bespoke cardboard boxes for this purpose and would the whole bird require plastic wrapping/bagging as well? - Ben Crosby, unspecified.
A: Paragon response
Hi Ben
Yes we can make your boxes bespoke for you and the wholebird would need to be bagged as well to prevent leakage.
