At Packinfood.com, safety is the foundation of our commitment to delivering high-quality industrial food packaging solutions. We understand that the safety of the products you handle is paramount, which is why we ensure that all our packaging materials meet the highest standards. Below, we explain the critical aspects of food packaging safety and the materials we use to protect your products:
What is Industrial Food Packaging?
Industrial food packaging involves creating protective barriers for food products during transportation, storage, and display. It is designed to extend shelf life, maintain food quality, and ensure safety from contaminants. This packaging is crucial for preserving the freshness and integrity of food products in various environments.
Vacuum Packaging and Extended Shelf Life
Vacuum packaging is a technique that removes air from the packaging before sealing, significantly extending the shelf life of food products. By reducing oxygen levels, vacuum packaging helps prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and yeast, keeping your products fresh for longer periods.
Understanding Packaging Materials
PP (Polypropylene)
PP is a widely used plastic material known for its durability and resistance to moisture and chemicals. It is commonly used in food packaging due to its ability to protect against contamination and maintain the freshness of products.
EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol)
EVOH is a high-barrier material that provides excellent protection against oxygen and other gases, making it ideal for vacuum packaging. It helps preserve the taste, aroma, and quality of food products by preventing oxidation.
PE (Polyethylene)
PE is a versatile plastic commonly used in food packaging. It is flexible, moisture-resistant, and provides an effective barrier against contaminants. PE is often used in combination with other materials to enhance its protective properties.
PA (Polyamide)
PA, also known as nylon, is known for its toughness and resistance to punctures and abrasions. It is often used in multilayer packaging to provide additional strength and durability, ensuring the safe transport and storage of food products.
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
PET is a strong and lightweight material used in various food packaging applications. It is resistant to impact, moisture, and chemicals, making it a reliable choice for packaging foods and beverages. PET is also recyclable, contributing to environmental sustainability.
PS (Polystyrene)
PS is a lightweight plastic commonly used in disposable food containers. It offers excellent insulation properties, making it suitable for packaging hot and cold food items. However, due to concerns about its environmental impact, its use is being reconsidered in some applications.
Food Contact Safety and BPA-Free Packaging
All our packaging materials are designed to be food-safe, ensuring they do not contaminate the products they contain. We prioritize using BPA-free materials, eliminating the risks associated with this chemical, which has been linked to potential health issues.
Food Vacuum Bags
Our food vacuum bags are crafted with the utmost care to ensure safety and quality. They are designed to create a secure, airtight seal that preserves the freshness and safety of your food products, making them an essential component of modern food packaging.
