A multi-layer rigid film, comprising more than one polymer mix, offers high-end sealability in the finished packaging. This helps to increase the protective barrier for some products, giving them a longer shelf-life.
kpseal™ has enhanced sealability that works through contamination, reducing the need for reworking of packs during thermoforming and the form, fill and seal process. This rigid film is available in custom colour options and can run on standard thermoforming and form, fill and seal machinery. kpseal™ is highly suited for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and vacuum skin packaging (VSP) for fresh food products that require extended shelf-life.
Applications
Meat, fish and poultry, cheeses, bakery, pizza, fresh pasta, snacks and snack portions
Benefits
Enhanced sealability, good thermoforming properties and available in custom colours
kpbar™ has similar benefits and qualities as kpseal™, however this rigid film is a mono (single) polymer film which has an ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) layer laminated onto it. The EVOH layer extends the barrier quality of the packaged product by restricting the amount of oxygen transmission rate into the pack, reducing odour and gas leakage, perfect for products that are affected by gas rates like fresh red meat. kpbar™ ensures you have great shelf appeal in crystal clear options or a number of colours to suit your requirements. It also runs on standard thermoforming or form, fill and seal machinery. This range of rigid films are also highly suited to modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and vacuum skin packaging (VSP).
Applications
Meat, fish and poultry, cheeses, bakery, pizza, fresh pasta, snacks and snack portions
Benefits
Excellent sealability, high barrier, consumer appeal, extended shelf life, good thermoforming properties, seals through contamination and comes in a range of colours.
