Barrier film: extend the shelf life of fresh produce

Are you looking for an efficient and sustainable packaging solution? Discover our high-quality barrier film, for your fresh products that need to stay fresh for longer. Our barrier film offers excellent protection by keeping oxygen out and keeping your products fresh for longer. We can supply this barrier film as a recyclable alternative, resulting in a lower carbon footprint as well as several financial benefits.

Barrier film with EVOH: a sustainable alternative

Our barrier film contains EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol), an additive that provides a barrier to oxygen and other gases. This innovative technology provides an OTR (oxygen transmission rate) of, say, less than 1, keeping your products fresh for longer. We can offer this while still classifying the barrier film as a mono-material, even at a thickness of 60 microns.

EVOH offers oxygen permeability 4000 times better than LDPE.

Benefits of barrier film

  • Longer freshness: Excellent oxygen barrier (OTR) keeps products fresh for longer.
  • Strong seal: Excellent hot-tack and seal strength for 'leak-tight' packaging.
  • Robust protection: High puncture and tear resistance, mechanical strength and excellent dart impact.
  • High-quality printing: Up to 10 colours possible with flexo printing for 'photo quality'.
  • Thickness reduction: Modern machinery and materials also allow us to produce our barrier films thinner, while maintaining properties and required barriers. This contributes to a better environment, is more sustainable and cost-effective.
  • Tax benefit: Possible tax benefits through the use of more sustainable packaging materials (Tariff shift 2.0).
  • Cost-effective: Less costly compared to laminates as fewer processes are required.
  • 100% recyclable: Our barrier film is 100% recyclable and meets the set standards for 'mono-material'.

We are happy to explore the possibilities
