High Performance Barrier Solutions
High performance barrier film has revolutionized the flexible packaging of perishable foods and personal care products. The overall success of such products depend on the effectiveness of high barrier films, making it critical to select the right type of film for your particular application. The primary concern for many products is keeping them protected from light, moisture, oxygen degradation, and chemicals. These variables can negatively impact flavor and freshness.
For coffee, pet treats, and some personal care items affected by light, we can construct flexible packaging by choosing from materials that contain aluminum or metalized structures along with a polyethylene-based sealant layer for hermetic seals. In some cases, inks and coatings can also provide adequate UV barrier when foil or metalized structures are not an option. Our extensive high performance barrier films product line contains materials with superior vapor and gas barriers that are ideal for cheese, meats, snacks, and many more products.
Kendall’s experts understand how important developing an effective high barrier structure can be. Our responsibility is to ease the complications of the development process. Our process starts with a conversation, later factors in specifics, tests variables, and ultimately delivers an end product in which you can be confident.
The following variables should be considered for high barrier product structures including:
- Package fill weight
- Type and condition of filling equipment
- Target processing/filling speeds
- Shelf life requirements
- Aesthetic desires
- Storage and distribution
- Cost parameters
