BESPOKE SOLUTIONS
Managing the deceased, whether for local transfer, temporary disease containment or international repatriation, demands reliability, absolute containment, hygiene integrity and dignity. Traditional options such as zinc-lined coffins add significant cost, weight and logistical complexity while often being ineffective for containment. In environments where contamination control, odour management and leak prevention are critical, organisations require a lightweight, regulation-ready and fully sealed containment solution.
Our Aluminium Barrier Foil High Barrier Body Bags, available in on-roll or bespoke, pre-cut formats, deliver a proven, hermetically sealed method of isolating the deceased, protecting personnel and preserving dignity at every stage. Engineered to meet IATA AHM 333 repatriation requirements, they provide a practical, international-standard alternative to heavy metal coffins—trusted by Mortuaries, Hospitals, Funeral Directors, Coroners, Specialist Repatriation Services, Public Health Authorities, Civil and Disaster Response Organisations and Infection Control & Crime Scene Equipment providers.
