The VACUshrink FM45 range of 45 micron shrink bags are
a great alternative to high barrier vacuum pouches
giving enhanced shelf appeal.
They are ideally suited for the retail,
deli, foodservice and processor plant food applications including fresh pork, poultry,
beef, lamb, seafood, processed hams, marinated meats and cheese products.
The special properties of VACUshrink FM45 are:
Modified sealing layer and PET outer
layer give a wider sealing window for outstanding sealing through
contamination and wrinkles.
EVOH layer gives high barrier properties and longer shelf
life in an enviromentally friendly way and without the yellowing associated with PVdC / PVC.
PET outer layer gives high transparency and gloss.
PET outer layer gives excellent puncture resistance reducing
leakers from system and handling damage.
Shrinkage of up to 45% results in smaller ears and tighter fit around the product.
PET outer layer enables overlapping of shrink bags in the vacuum packer.
The Vacufol FM45 food grade environmentally friendly shrink bag benefits from 9 layer EVOH barrier technology and is
preferable to PVdC / PVC based shrink bags for the following reasons:
Production: Vacufol shrink bags use a EVOH for the barrier layer instead of PVdC, meaning that the bags are
chlorine free and that no radiation is used in the production process.
EVOH or Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol film provides a superior gas barrier layer in these food grade shrink bags, prolonging shelf life
and so reducing waste, transportion costs and the required thickness of packaging.
