<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can certainly see this food service packaging material everywhere, so what is flexible barrier packaging? Barrier packaging is any product that prevents sensitization to environmental factors such as oxygen, moisture, light, and contaminants. This barrier can be thought of as a firewall that prevents the movement of gases or liquids. Simply put, flexible barrier packaging is made from a packaging material that provides a high barrier between the product inside and oxygen, moisture, light, and gases. In some cases, barrier packaging can also act as an aroma barrier, keeping products fresh and preventing odors and smells inside the plastic bag.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Several factors need to be considered when choosing packaging materials. First, if the product has a short shelf life, low or medium-barrier plastic films are recommended because these products are usually low-value retail items that are consumed quickly and the economy is a major consideration. For products with a longer shelf life, high-barrier materials are the best choice; they reduce food loss and waste and keep products fresh for a long time. In addition, for moisture-sensitive products (e.g., nutritional blends and dry food ingredients), enhanced barrier plastic films such as high-density polyethylene and aluminum foil laminates should be used to effectively prevent moisture from entering the bag. Products that are sensitive to oxygen (e.g., potato chips) should use oxygen barrier packaging materials to prevent oxygen from entering the bag, thereby extending the shelf life of the product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Flexible barrier packaging<\/strong> materials should also have sufficient physical capacity to carry the product and resist the effects of external factors such as light, dust, heat, and air. In addition, the packaging material should be easy to replenish at short notice to avoid disrupting production and sales. Other factors to consider include material durability, price, and suitability to ensure that the best material for your packaging needs is selected within your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The evaluation of the barrier performance of flexible packaging is mainly carried out by professional instruments, including the determination of key indicators such as oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR). Commonly used testing methods include the differential pressure method, isobaric method, electrolytic sensor method, and so on. Each of these methods has its advantages and disadvantages and is suitable for different types of materials and application scenarios. Both the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) have developed relevant testing standards to provide a unified evaluation system for enterprises and research institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We provide quality food service packaging that allows your business to thrive.
