High-Barrier Flexible Films for Processed Foods

High-barrier flexible films for processed foods are essential for protecting packaged products from moisture, oxygen, and other external agents that can compromise quality.

Thanks to their multilayer technology, these films improve food preservation, extend shelf life, and maintain flavor, texture, and nutritional properties. They are ideal for vacuum packaging, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), and heat sealing—ensuring food safety and production efficiency.

Features of High-Barrier Flexible Films

Protection against moisture, oxygen, and contaminants

These films are designed to minimize permeability to gases and water vapor, shielding the contents from external contamination. The strong barrier prevents mold and bacterial growth while preserving freshness in processed products.

Innovative materials for packaging

High-barrier film structures often include materials like PET, PP, EVOH, and PA. These polymers make the packaging lightweight, flexible, and resistant—meeting the highest protection requirements, even for sensitive foods.

Compatible with multiple packaging technologies

High-barrier films work with various packaging methods: vacuum, MAP, and heat sealing. This versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of formats and food types—from fresh products to ready-to-eat meals.

Benefits of High-Barrier Flexible Films

Extended product shelf life

These films help maintain food quality for longer, reducing waste and improving logistics management. A longer shelf life improves turnover in retail and provides greater flexibility in distribution.

Guaranteed food safety

Thanks to their insulating properties, these films prevent contamination and help ensure compliance with food safety standards. Most are certified for direct food contact, meeting international hygiene regulations.

Sustainability and eco-friendly options

Newer versions are made with recyclable or compostable materials, helping reduce environmental impact. This allows companies to adopt more sustainable practices without compromising on packaging performance.

Applications of High-Barrier Flexible Films for Processed Foods

Packaging for meat, fish, and dairy

Ideal for sliced meats, cheese, and packaged fish, high-barrier films prevent oxidation and preserve freshness and aroma. Perfect for protective atmosphere packaging, they help extend shelf life at point of sale.

Packaging for snacks and baked goods

For savory snacks, cookies, and baked items, these films protect against loss of crunch and moisture, keeping products fresh and enjoyable.

Solutions for ready meals and frozen foods

In packaging ready meals and frozen foods, high-barrier flexible films provide effective protection during both transportation and storage at low temperatures.
