KEY CHARACTERISTICS

Barrier shrink bags are an excellent way to protect fresh meat and other food products during packing, handling, storage and distribution. Their high-barrier construction helps maintain product quality by reducing exposure to oxygen and gases, supporting freshness and shelf life when used with the correct packing process and storage conditions.
The nine-layer film structure provides dependable protection, while the 45% shrinkage rate creates a tight, attractive finish around the product. This helps improve the visual appeal of the finished pack, giving meat, poultry, cheese and processed products a clean and professional retail-ready appearance.

These bags are especially well suited to products without sharp edges, including fresh meat, cold cuts, ripened cheese, boiled meats, processed meats and poultry. Whether packing whole birds, poultry portions, cooked meats or cheese, barrier shrink bags provide a strong combination of product protection, presentation and shelf-life performance.
