With Fres-co’s flexible packaging, beans don’t have to be just off the farm to be delicious and nutritious.

Our food experts have decades of industry-leading experience and will work with you to customize packaging that protects the integrity of your bean products throughout production and distribution. Have a particularly tough challenge? As packaging pioneers and inventors, we thrive on them. We’ll guide you through the move from cans to flexible packaging, and we’ll do it with reliable, built-to-last machines that can manufacture a wide range of package sizes.

The Convenient, Cost-Efficient Flexible Alternative to Cans

Higher quality bean products can go hand-in-hand with lower costs, greater safety and ease of use, less waste and a more environmentally friendly footprint. It just takes the right flexible packaging! Bean products in pouches require shorter cooking time than those in cans, resulting in better taste, texture and nutritional value. Lighter weight pouches also take up less space, meaning you’ll enjoy lower freight and storage costs. With “grab and go” ease, pouches are quicker and safer to open and handle. (No more ragged can edges, metal fragments or rusty can openers!) They use less material and energy to produce and take up less space in dumpsters and landfill.
