Revolutionising Seafood Packaging: The Future Is Looking Fresh and Sustainable

Revolutionising Seafood Packaging: The Future Is Looking Fresh and Sustainable

At Fins Choice, we’re passionate about delivering premium, fresh seafood to your plate—without passing on unnecessary costs or environmental impact. That’s why we’re excited about the global rollout of DryPack, a game-changing packaging innovation in North America.

What Is DryPack? A Smarter Way to Ship Seafood

Developed by packaging leader DS Smith, DryPack is a 100% recyclable, fiber-based box designed specifically for the seafood industry. It’s built to replace traditional non-recyclable styrofoam (EPS) boxes, which are widely used but problematic for both the planet and the supply chain.

Unlike styrofoam, which clogs up landfills and contributes to microplastic pollution, DryPack uses GreenCoat technology to create durable, water-resistant containers that don’t compromise recyclability or performance.

Smart Design That Cuts Cost and Carbon

DryPack isn’t just environmentally friendly—it’s efficient, too:

  • Ships Flat: The boxes arrive flat-packed, which dramatically cuts transport space and reduces freight and fuel costs.

  • Keeps Fish Fresh: When filled with ice, DryPack can maintain fish at temperatures below 40°F (4°C) for over 40 hours—a claim backed by Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) approval.

  • Air Freight-Ready: It’s also the only container board seafood box approved by the International Air Transport Association, making it safe for shipping seafood over both short and long distances.

What This Means for You

Every improvement in interational and local premium fresh seafood logistics helps lower the costs that make their way to consumers. With innovations like DryPack, seafood companies around the world are saving on transport, reducing waste, and protecting the quality of their catch—all without using foam or plastic-heavy materials.

Looking Ahead

Fresh seafood, smarter packaging, better value—for you and for the planet.

We’re proud to support innovation that makes sense for the future. Here's to hoping DryPack reaches our shores soon.
