Retort Pouches by Shelfpack India

A retort pouch is an advanced packaging solution designed for cooked or semi-cooked food products. These pouches undergo high-temperature processing (retorting) in an autoclave, effectively reducing bacterial content and ensuring a shelf-stable product without the need for preservatives or refrigeration. At Shelfpack, we provide high-performance retort packaging widely used for ready-to-eat meals, pet food, and an expanding range of ready-to-drink products. Our retort solutions combine the best properties of glass, metal, and paper, offering superior protection, extended shelf life, and unmatched convenience while minimizing material usage.
