PVDC High-Barrier Rollstock Film for Food Packaging

Packtastic PVDC Rollstock Film is a premium high-barrier flexible packaging material engineered for high-speed automated food packaging lines. Manufactured using advanced multi-layer co-extrusion technology with a PVDC (Polyvinylidene Chloride) barrier layer, this rollstock film delivers exceptional protection against oxygen, moisture, and external contaminants—preserving product freshness, flavour, and appearance throughout the supply chain.

Unlike EVOH, which loses barrier performance in high-humidity environments, PVDC maintains stable oxygen and moisture barrier properties regardless of humidity. This makes it the preferred choice for automated packaging of meat, poultry, cheese, seafood, snacks, and other perishable foods that require reliable protection in cold-chain and ambient conditions.

Available in a wide range of thicknesses, widths, and custom print options, Packtastic PVDC rollstock film is engineered for consistent performance on rotary and flat-bed thermoforming machines, form-fill-seal equipment, and other high-speed automated packaging systems. With food-grade certifications (FDA, ISO, BRC, Kosher) and flexible low MOQs, Packtastic is the trusted partner for food processors and packers seeking premium barrier performance at competitive factory-direct prices.

What is PVDC Rollstock Film?

PVDC rollstock film is a multi-layer co-extruded flexible film supplied in large rolls for use on automated packaging machinery. The film is fed through the packaging line, where it is formed, filled, and sealed around the product—either as a bottom forming film, a top lidding film, or a flow-wrap film. The PVDC barrier layer provides outstanding resistance to oxygen, water vapour, and aroma compounds, ensuring that food stays fresh and flavourful throughout its shelf life.

Key Features

Superior Oxygen & Moisture Barrier
PVDC provides one of the highest barrier properties to oxygen and water vapour among flexible packaging materials. Oxygen transmission rates can be as low as ≤1.0 cm³/(m²·24h·0.1MPa), while water vapour permeance reaches ≤0.4–0.8 g/(m²·24h) depending on coating weight. PVDC's barrier performance remains stable regardless of humidity, unlike EVOH which degrades above 70% relative humidity.

Engineered for High-Speed Automation
Packtastic PVDC rollstock film is precision-manufactured for consistent performance on high-speed automated packaging lines. Key production-ready features include:

  • Tight gauge tolerance (±5% across full width) for consistent heating and uniform formation

  • Controlled roll winding tension to prevent telescoping and ensure consistent unwinding

  • Static control (<2 kV neutralized) to reduce dust attraction and ensure reliable feeding

  • Low moisture content (<0.2%) for immediate use without conditioning

  • Consistent coefficient of friction (0.25–0.35) for predictable web transport

  • Precision width tolerance (±0.5 mm) to eliminate edge trimming

Crystal Clear Transparency
High clarity and gloss showcase the natural colour and texture of the product, enhancing retail shelf appeal.

Excellent Thermoformability
Engineered for deep-draw applications, Packtastic PVDC films meet the requirements for complex product shapes while maintaining thickness uniformity at drawn corners.

Superior Puncture & Tear Resistance
Multi-layer construction provides outstanding durability, protecting against sharp edges and handling damage during processing and distribution.

Food-Grade & Certified
Manufactured using food-grade materials suitable for direct food contact, compliant with FDA, ISO, BRC, HACCP, and Kosher standards.
