‘Abuse resistent’ bags for hard food
A new generation of multilayer coextruded bags is available from Cryovac to pack hard and very hard product segments in fresh red meat, cheese and smoked and processed meats.
Called OptiDure, the bags combine mechanical abuse resistance with reduced thickness. The shrink properties of the bags are complemented by sealability through pleats and good overlap sealing.
Producers of foods, such as dried processed meat, terrines, smoked bacon, red meat on the bone and Grana cheese chunks, are set to benefit from this packaging innovation that brings high pack security, increased productivity and automation suitability, as well as good pack presentation, according to the manufacturer.
Cryovac OptiDure bags come in two different types, both offering puncture and abrasion resistance.
The ODA5005 version is 75 microns thick and the ODA7005 version is 95 microns thick.
