Cryovac® Metallic Sheen Barrier Bag Replaces Foil Wrap

DUNCAN, S.C. (Oct. 24, 2007) – A new alternative to traditional foil wraps for meats is available from Sealed Air’s Cryovac® Food Packaging.

The Cryovac® Flood Printed Bag is a barrier bag that has a printed metallic sheen so it looks like the traditional foil wraps it replaces. Using an advanced ink system provides the bag with its unique metallic sheen, and “edge to edge flood printing” delivers 100 percent ink coverage. The Cryovac® Flood Printed Bag gives a premium look to any bagged product such as spiral hams and other value products.

While maintaining the high-end look of foil, processors can reduce packaging materials and steps in the packaging process with the Cryovac® Flood Printed Bag. With the traditional foil packaging, the product is put into a bag that is vacuum-sealed and then placed into a foil wrap. The Cryovac® Flood Printed Bag eliminates the need for the outer foil wrap. Also, it can be used with a processors’ existing Cryovac® loading system and rotary chamber vacuum systems.
