High Barrier Food Packaging Film

High Barrier Food Packaging Film

High barrier food packaging film protects products from external degradative elements.high barrier food packaging film This helps extend their shelf life and ensures that they retain quality and freshness from harvest to consumption. In addition to this, it also reduces reliance on chemical preservatives and provides a safe storage environment for the contents of packaged foods.

This film is multilayer flexible materials that slow the transfer of oxygen, moisture vapor, aromas, and oils between food and the outside environment. It is ideal for packaging dry and solid foods, such as grains, cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, and nuts.

It prevents caking, spoilage, and texture changes. It also reduces oxidation and preserves flavor, color, and nutritional value. It is a powerful tool for food manufacturers to preserve their products, especially for those with limited production and processing capacity.

The journey of a food product from farm to table is a long one, with many opportunities for contamination. This is why high barrier poly films are an essential part of any packaging solution, extending the shelf life of products without compromising their quality or safety.

These high-performance plastic films are engineered with a complex system of barriers that prevents unwanted contaminants from entering the package or escaping it. They consist of distinct layers that are fused together to form a nearly impenetrable shield that traditional single-layer poly films can’t match. Each layer is specifically chosen to stop a specific threat, whether moisture trying to seep in or gases trying to escape, and the result is a strong, long-lasting material.

As the industry shifts toward sustainability, there are growing demands for high barrier films that are environmentally friendly. However, some barrier films are not recyclable due to their multilayer construction, which can include combinations of different materials that are difficult to separate for recycling. TIPA offers a solution that addresses these challenges with compostable high barrier films.

These barrier films are made of Borealis’ Borstar PE resins FB1350 and FB2230 and have a higher oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) barrier than standard Polyethylene Terephthalate/PolyEthylene (PET/PE) laminates. They are also characterized by high seal strength, low SIT and printability compatibility for use in FFS machines. They are suitable for making stand-up pouches, liquid packaging, and custom laminates.

These metalized BOPP barrier films are corona treated on both sides and are suitable for duplex as well as sandwich lamination. They offer a high hot tack and low SIT for faster running speeds on FFS lines and help improve productivity. These films are used in beverage, food, and cosmetic sachets/packs. They provide a superior oxygen, moisture, and UV barrier for products such as shampoo, powdered milk, and dry foods. They are also suitable for cold-chain and heat-treated applications.
