Technical terms explained simply

Multilayer bags made of prime-quality PA/PE barrier film protect products in particular from high humidity, unwanted gas exchange and from ingress of both contaminants and germs. Depending on the product, a range of different material layers through to high barrier grades may be applied. Multilayer bags with 5, 7 or 9 layers extend the shelf life of food significantly and provide optimal ripening conditions, such as for cheese. Here, the PA and/or EVOH barrier layer in between the PE layers is precisely matched to the requirements of the respective product. Multilayer bags also provide reliable product protection against damage. Particularly peeled potatoes or other vegetables benefit from this option, as they remain appetizingly fresh. The high resistance to flex-cracking prevents the formation of air leaks, resulting in a significant reduction in product wastage. Multilayer bags from ALLFO are available in film thicknesses from 50my to 160my and in dimensions from 250 mm x 200 mm to 1300 mm x 1000 mm for fast delivery, even in large quantities.
