Packtastic PVDC high‑barrier shrink bags are multi‑layer co‑extruded vacuum bags designed specifically for fresh and processed meats. The PVDC (Polyvinylidene Chloride) barrier layer delivers stable oxygen and moisture protection even in high‑humidity cold‑chain conditions – outperforming EVOH for red meat applications. When heat‑shrunk, the bag forms a tight, wrinkle‑free "second skin" that conforms precisely to the product, extending refrigerated shelf life from 3–5 days to 7–9 days while preserving natural colour, juice, and flavour. With excellent clarity, puncture resistance (suitable for bone‑in cuts), and food‑grade certifications (FDA, BRC, HACCP, ISO 9001, Kosher), these bags are the trusted choice for beef, pork, lamb, and poultry packers worldwide.
Superior barrier – PVDC provides stable oxygen and moisture resistance even in humid environments; maintains performance where EVOH degrades.
Extended shelf life – Fresh meat: 7–9 days under refrigeration (vs. 3–5 days); pasteurised meat products: up to 90 days at 0‑4°C.
Skin‑tight shrink – Shrinks at 75‑80°C (low‑temperature option) or 85°C (standard) to form a wrinkle‑free, transparent cover that reduces purge loss.
High puncture resistance – Tough multi‑layer construction protects against bone‑in cuts and handling damage.
Crystal clarity & gloss – Showcases natural meat colour and texture, boosting retail appeal.
Food‑grade certified – Complies with FDA, BRC, HACCP, ISO 9001, and Kosher standards for direct food contact.
