Selar fish abundance in thecoastal region of the Sendang Biru Malang needed a good production packaging for marketing purposes and the protection of the product from any damages up to the consumer. Various packaging can extend its durable, one type of packaging materials that are inexpensive and easily found that plastic. Plastic is made from oil and natural gas as a source, and in the process was replaced bysynthetic materials so they can be retrieved plastic properties as desired. The plastic used for freezing and pasteurization selar fish which is a type of plastic, PE, PP and HDPE. The purpose of this research is to know the comparison ofvarious kinds of plastic packaging materials as well as determine the types of plastic packaging is good against freezing or pasteurization process fish. The results showed that plastic PE (PolyEthylene) is a plastic that is well used to the freezing due to low temperature resistant. While plastic HDPE (High Density Polyethylen) used for pasteurization and resistant tohigh temperatures.
