ZeroPrep Pouches Simplify Condiment Dispensing in Food Service

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 22, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Sealed Air Corporation's CRYOVAC® brand food packaging has introduced ZeroPrep, a new flexible pouch packaging solution designed to streamline condiment dispensing for food service operations. The new product aims to reduce the time and effort required for labor-intensive preparation and cleanup of squeeze bottles and other rigid containers, which are commonly used for condiment dispensing in restaurants.

The ZeroPrep hand-dispensing pouches are pre-filled with condiments and sauces, making them ready to use without the need for any preparation or cleanup. The pouches feature a unique easy-open seal and spout, designed to dispense condiments and sauces with a squeeze. The spout reseals when not in use to prevent drips, ensuring that condiments remain fresh and consistent throughout each shift.

Sealed Air Corporation, the maker of the CRYOVAC® brand food packaging, has developed ZeroPrep to address the tedious task of squeeze bottle prep and cleaning, which can be a significant challenge for food service operators.

ZeroPrep's benefits extend beyond just reducing labor time. The pre-filled pouches make service faster and simpler, as they open without the need for tools. They also simplify condiment and sauce delivery through one-handed operation and streamlined storage, reducing the need for multiple containers. Additionally, the pouches help reduce food waste by up to 97%, as they eliminate the need to transfer condiments into bottles or other secondary containers.

The ZeroPrep pouches are produced on a new CRYOVAC® brand ZeroPrep vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) system, which combines two specialized CRYOVAC® films to form the pouch's user-friendly shape, easy-open seal, semi-rigid spout, and hermetic seals. The machine produces package sizes from 8 to 16 fluid ounces at speeds of up to 80 packs per minute.
