Packtastic EVOH Shrink Bags are premium multi‑layer co‑extruded packaging solutions designed specifically for fresh meat, poultry, and dairy products. The core barrier layer is EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol) , which offers one of the highest oxygen barrier levels available in flexible packaging – combined with exceptional clarity and gloss that showcases product freshness and colour. When heat‑shrunk (85–90°C), the bag forms a tight, wrinkle‑free “second skin” that conforms precisely to the product, eliminating air pockets, reducing purge loss, and preserving natural flavour, texture, and moisture.
EVOH provides outstanding protection against oxygen – with OTR as low as ≤0.5–3 cc/m²·24h – significantly extending shelf life for chilled meat, poultry, and dairy. Its crystal‑clear transparency makes it the ideal choice for premium retail presentation, where visual appeal drives consumer choice. Available with low MOQs, full customisation (sizes, thicknesses, up to 20‑colour printing, multiple bag styles), and internationally recognised food‑grade certifications (FDA, BRC, HACCP, ISO, Kosher), Packtastic EVOH shrink bags are the trusted partner for processors, packers, and brands seeking uncompromised freshness and shelf appeal.
EVOH shrink bags are multi‑layer co‑extruded tubular films used for vacuum packaging of fresh and processed foods. After the product is inserted and vacuum‑sealed, the bag is passed through a hot‑water tunnel (85–90°C). The heat causes the film to shrink tightly around the product, creating a skin‑tight, glossy, transparent package that extends shelf life and maximises visual appeal.
EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol) is a high‑performance barrier resin that provides exceptional resistance to oxygen, aromas, and solvents. Its oxygen transmission rate can be as low as ≤0.5–3 cc/m²·24h (depending on structure), making it one of the most effective oxygen barriers in the packaging industry. EVOH is commonly combined with other materials (such as PE, PA, or EVA) to achieve the required balance of barrier, mechanical strength, and heat‑seal properties.
Superior oxygen barrier – OTR as low as ≤0.5–3 cc/m²·24h, preventing oxidation, colour fading, and off‑flavours.
Excellent transparency & gloss – Crystal‑clear film highlights natural product colour and texture, boosting retail shelf appeal.
Extended shelf life – Chilled meat and poultry: up to 4 months; dairy (cheese, butter): 6–12 months depending on variety.
Skin‑tight shrink fit – Shrinkage >35% at 85–90°C; no wrinkles, minimal purge, excellent shape retention.
Good puncture resistance – Durable construction suitable for boneless cuts, poultry portions, and dairy blocks.
Low‑temperature shrink option – Available at 85°C to preserve delicate textures and prevent colour degradation.
Anti‑fog coating (optional) – Prevents condensation, ensuring clear visibility under temperature fluctuations.
Food‑grade certified – FDA, BRC, HACCP, ISO 9001, Kosher compliant.
Full customisation – Sizes (width up to 500mm+), thickness (45–300µm), printing (20 colours), bag styles (curved/flat/taped/perforated).
