Industry Introduction
Cheese continues to ripen after production, so its packaging must balance gas exchange, moisture control and mold prevention while protecting appearance. Packtastic supplies vacuum bags and barrier films for hard, semi-hard and soft cheeses, from artisan wheels to industrial sliced and grated formats.
Our cheese packaging combines high oxygen barrier to slow mold growth with controlled moisture retention to prevent drying and weight loss. Vacuum-shrink bags give blocks a tight, professional finish, while barrier films support MAP lines for sliced and shredded cheese.
Food-grade materials, custom sizes and print options are available for dairies, cheese plants and private label programs worldwide.

FAQ
Why does cheese need high oxygen barrier packaging?
Oxygen promotes mold growth and accelerates quality loss. High-barrier films with EVOH or PVDC layers reduce oxygen ingress, extending the shelf life of both matured and portion-packed cheeses.
Can cheese vacuum bags be printed?
Yes, bags can be printed with brand graphics, product information and barcodes in food-safe inks.
What formats do you offer for sliced cheese?
We supply barrier rollstock and thermoforming films for form-fill-seal and MAP lines, plus pre-formed pouches and vacuum bags for blocks and portions.
