Novipax - Dri-Loc AC40 4" x 6.5" Black/White Absorbent Meat, Fish and Poultry Pad - Case of 3000

Novipax has been engineering absorbent packaging solutions for nearly six decades, with company materials tracing its history to the mid-1960s. The company is a portfolio company of ACON Investments, L.L.C., a Washington, D.C.-based private equity firm founded in 1996 that invests across North America, Latin America, and Europe; Novipax maintains a corporate office at 2215 York Road, Suite 208, Oak Brook, Illinois. Novipax manufactures absorbent pads for food packaging, marketed under its Dri-Loc line - including Dri-Loc, Dri-Loc Premier, the compostable Dri-Loc Terra, and Dri-Loc TheftSensor variants - along with foodservice prep and facility-maintenance absorbents. Manufacturing is spread across multiple U.S. plants, including facilities in El Paso, Texas (opened 2022), Grenada, Mississippi, Paxinos, Pennsylvania, and Rockingham, North Carolina. Dri-Loc pads are built around a highly absorbent fluff pulp core sourced from FSC-certified suppliers with a patented sealed-edge design, offered in a range of sizes, colors, shapes, and absorbency grades - including the AC40 and AC50 grade meat/fish/poultry pads, foam trays, and poly case liners AFS Marketplace carries from the brand. Novipax describes its fluff-core pads as biodegradable and compostable, and offers FDA-compliant super-absorbent formulations for higher-absorbency applications, reflecting a broader company focus on reducing food waste and moisture-related spoilage in the retail meat case.
