Food packaging
orfix NJB Food Packaging: From Material to Industry
Flexible films and rigid trays that protect food and present it at the shelf. Find your solution by industry, or browse the full material range, matched to your product, line and shelf-life.
Food packaging is the newest orfix area of excellence, built on more than 40 years of NJB Packaging experience in Maynooth, Ireland, now available across Europe through orfix. Many of the raw materials, from thermoforming film to compostable packaging, are developed and produced for orfix in house.
Find your solution by industry
Start from what you pack. Each industry hub matches the right films to your products, lines and shelf-life targets, with concrete examples.
Fresh Meat & Poultry
Vacuum bags, thermoforming and tray lidding that hold a reliable oxygen barrier and a clean red-meat colour, from primal cuts to retail trays.
Fruits & Vegetables
Perforated OPP, anti-fog tray lidding and POF shrink that let respiring produce breathe from packhouse to shelf.
Cheese & Dairy
Thermoforming, vacuum and tray lidding for the oxygen barrier, slicing and shelf presence that cheese and dairy demand.
Bakery & Confectionery
OPP and PE flow wrap, MAP tray lidding and a specialist compostable route for bread, morning goods and confectionery.

Who we serve
For more than 40 years, NJB Packaging has supplied food manufacturers across Ireland and beyond. As part of orfix International, we now bring the same hands-on partnership to producers across Europe. Our approach starts with your product, your line and your shelf-life goals. From small artisan bakeries to large meat processors, we match the right material to your application, never the other way around. We are a packaging partner, not a product supplier.

Beyond the material
orfix is a packaging partner, not just a film supplier. The same team supports the machine, the sustainability route and the spec.

Flow-pack machines, vacuum sealers and tray sealers, matched to your line and integrated into your production.

More than a supplier: spec support, sampling and a single point of contact from first brief to a film you can run.
Start a Packaging Consultation
A packaging consultation is not a catalogue decision. It starts with your product, your line and your shelf-life goal, and it ends with a material specification you can run.
Frequently asked
Certified sustainable packaging is possible in principle, depending on the product line. Whether a specific film and application qualify for the Blue Angel or the orfix GREEN LABEL is reviewed individually.
