Meat, Protein & Seafood
Tinplate packaging engineered for the sterilization, coating, and protein-contact demands of canned meat, poultry, and seafood. Designed for hermetic sealing, sulfur-resistant coatings, retort compatibility, and ambient distribution across processed meat, fish, and protein-based baby food applications.
Protein Demands the Highest Sterilization Standard
Canned meat, protein, and seafood are among the most sterilization-critical food categories. Processed meat requires hermetic sealing to support commercial sterility. Seafood demands sulfur-resistant coating systems to prevent staining and corrosion across long ambient shelf life. Protein-based baby food requires food-contact compliance and structural stability across full retort cycles.
ACI builds protein packaging around these specific requirements, with retort-engineered seam profiles, sulfur-resistant internal coating systems, and structural performance validated across high-pressure thermal processing.
Meat, Protein & Seafood Applications
ACI tinplate formats serve the full breadth of the protein category, from processed meat and poultry to seafood and meat-based baby food.
Poultry
Retort-stable formats for canned chicken and poultry products.
Sausages
Optimized for acidity resistance and flavor protection.
Seafood
Corrosion-resistant coating for tuna, sardines, and mackerel.
Processed Meat
Sulfur-resistant coating for luncheon, sausages, and corned beef.
Technical Performance
ACI tinplate formats are engineered to perform across the specific technical conditions of canned protein production, from full-cycle retort sterilization to high-volume seafood and meat filling.
