Barrier Food Packaging
KEY ADVANTAGES
- Retain product integrity by protecting moisture, flavor and aroma
- Hinder damaging elements by barring moisture, light and oxygen
- Protects food in logistic conditions with extreme heat and humidity changes
Many foods like candy, baked products and salty snacks require light, moisture and oxygen barrier packaging to keep them safe and fresh. Changes in temperature and humidity during logistics, delivery and storage can affect these and other products adversely.
Vacumet high-performance metallized plastics offer product protection that maintains flavor, aroma and moisture levels by holding good elements in and keeping damaging elements out, Vacumet films also offer an esthetic element to food packaging with brilliant printable surfaces—making products jump off grocery shelves. Our metallized plastics can be used as packaging components such as protective lining and lidding and can replace aluminum foil in laminations.
