Spanish packaging producer Papeles El Carmen is launching its patented range of fresh food bags into the UK market. The company said its bags offer seafood retailers several advantages over traditional packaging.

The Sacovitta range can be used for fresh foods -- from fresh meat, fish, cheese and charcuterie to bakery products -- and the bags are also suitable for freezing.

There are three formats available; one is a leak-proof bag with a single-use adhesive seal, suitable for getting wet products such as fish home without causing problems associated with leaking or smell.
