Frequently Asked Questions
Barrier performance is crucial in food packaging to help prevent spoilage, which helps reduce food waste and protect consumer safety. Barrier packaging guards against the ingress of oxygen, moisture, light, and other contaminants, which can significantly extend the shelf life of food products.
In addition, a strong barrier package helps maintain the original flavor, aroma, texture, and nutritional value of food, preventing rancidity, off-flavors, and nutrient degradation that can occur when oxygen and moisture penetrate the packaging.
Yes! The barrier layer in our Standard Bags contains materials that make them incompatible with current recycling streams. However, if your packaging needs require more recyclable materials, our CRYOVAC® brand recycle-ready presentation bags qualify to be classified as RIC4-PE and are compatible with streams that offer RIC4 recycling.
