Packtastic Meat Shrink Bags are premium multi-layer co-extruded packaging solutions engineered specifically for fresh and processed meat applications. Available with either PVDC (Polyvinylidene Chloride) or EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol) high-barrier layers, these bags deliver exceptional protection against oxygen, moisture, and external contaminants. When exposed to hot water (85–90°C), the bag shrinks tightly around the product, forming a wrinkle-free "second skin" that conforms precisely to the meat surface—preserving natural colour, juice, and flavour.
Whether you're packaging beef, pork, lamb, poultry, or seafood, Packtastic meat shrink bags extend refrigerated shelf life significantly—from 3–5 days to 7–9 days for fresh meat with PVDC, and up to 90 days for pasteurized meat products under 0–4°C. With superior puncture resistance for bone-in cuts, crystal-clear transparency, full customization options, and low minimum order quantities, Packtastic is the trusted packaging partner for meat processors, packers, and retailers worldwide.
Meat shrink bags are multi-layer co-extruded tubular films used for vacuum packaging of fresh and processed meats. The product is placed inside the bag, vacuum-sealed, and then passed through a hot water tunnel at 85–90°C. The heat causes the bag to shrink tightly around the meat, creating a skin-tight, wrinkle-free package that conforms to the product's shape while providing a high-barrier seal against oxygen and moisture.
Packtastic offers both PVDC and EVOH barrier options, allowing you to choose the solution that best fits your product and storage conditions.
Superior Oxygen & Moisture Barrier
PVDC and EVOH barrier layers provide exceptional protection against oxygen transmission, significantly extending product shelf life. PVDC maintains stable barrier performance even in high-humidity environments, making it ideal for fresh red meat. EVOH offers excellent clarity and barrier performance in dry conditions. Modern high-barrier shrink bags can achieve oxygen transmission rates below 5 cc/m²/24hr.
Extended Shelf Life
Fresh meat (PVDC): 7–9 days under refrigeration (vs. 3–5 days without)
Pasteurized meat products: Up to 90 days under 0–4°C
Chilled meat (EVOH): Up to 4 months
Frozen meat: Up to 12 months or longer
Skin-Tight Shrink Fit
When heated, the bag shrinks tightly around the product, forming a wrinkle-free "second skin" that eliminates air pockets, reduces purge loss, and preserves the original shape. Shrinkage rates reach >50% for PVDC and >35% for EVOH at 85–90°C.
Exceptional Clarity & Gloss
Crystal-clear transparency showcases the natural colour and texture of the meat, boosting retail shelf appeal and consumer confidence.
Superior Puncture & Tear Resistance
Multi-layer construction provides outstanding durability, protecting against bone-in cuts and handling damage during processing and distribution.
Low-Temperature Shrink Options
Available with low-temperature shrink capability to preserve product colour and reduce colour degradation during packaging.
