Staples: What are they, and what are they for?
Today there are multiple packaging options available in the processed food industry. From high-vacuum bags and flexible closures to shrink bags, all represent packaging solutions designed to preserve meat products in good condition and take care of costs. Hence, it is essential to take care of both production and final packaging. Staples are also solutions, and although at first glance, they may appear to be a small resource, they are useful and practical for the automatic packaging process of meat products. They are therefore required to be of the highest quality.Types of staples
It is important to point out that there are various types of staples. Although aluminum staples ensure risk-free packaging and hermetically seal various types of packaging, galvanized, plastic, polyester, and other materials can also be used without the risk of opening.
The following are the different types of staples manufactured by the leading company, Tecnometales CNC:

Aluminum staples
The staples used in poultry, food (sausages), barbotine, and ice, among others, are made of aluminum wire.
Aluminum is a much cheaper material than other materials and has all the properties that make it ideal for this industry.
Staples are effective for packaging meat products as long as their characteristics are considered since they have both potential and limitations. A basic element to consider is the final product’s weight since, for example, aluminum staples resist up to 60 kg in weight.
Staples – recommendations
– If your company handles high levels of meat production, you should consider aluminum staples since they are one of the best packaging options due to their quality and benefits.
– Hygiene is fundamental in the industrial food production process. In this sense, aluminum staples are resistant to oxidation and other types of corrosion. This quality helps maintain the integrity of products such as chicken and pork, which are often susceptible to bacterial proliferation.
– We suggest you choose staples from well-known brands in the industry, such as Tecnometales CNC staples.
