The Opal Dunnage Solution has a positive and valuable impact across various industries and consumers in the community and global society. Our dunnage solution is a column-like corrugated structure to limit product movement during container transportation of meat exports. Without the necessary dunnage support, these boxes frequently move in the containers during transportation and can lead to product spoilage and food waste, which is costly for meat and food processors. Importantly, it ensures more food lands on plates by limiting food waste during transportation. Our dunnage solution addresses these challenges and provides numerous additional key benefits.
