1. Key Requirements in Custom Food Packaging Bags

1.1 Material Structure & Barrier Performance

Food-Grade Flexible Packaging Materials

Food products are sensitive to moisture, oxygen, light, temperature, and puncture, so packaging films must ensure strong:

  • Oxygen barrier (OTR)
  • Moisture barrier (WVTR)
  • Light protection
  • Puncture resistance
  • High & low temperature resistance

Huiyang Emballage commonly recommends:

Comparison of Flexible Packaging Material Solutions
  • PET/AL/PE – excellent barrier for nuts, coffee, powders
  • NY/PE – great puncture resistance for frozen seafood
  • PET/CPP – cost-effective for snacks

1.2 Printing Quality & Brand Presentation

As a brand’s first visual touchpoint, packaging must deliver:

  • Bright and consistent colors
  • Clear details and high resolution
  • Matte, glossy, or matte-frosted finishes
