Shrink bags

Shrink bags are a type of packaging material that shrinks tightly around the product when exposed to heat.

Features of shrink bags

Versatile use: They are widely used in both industrial and commercial applications, especially in the food industry, to protect products and extend shelf life.
Material variation: Shrink bags are made of different types of thermoplastic material, with the choice depending on specific requirements such as food safety, puncture resistance and shrinkage capacity.
Tight shrinkage: When heated, for example by a heat tunnel or in a water bath, these bags shrink tightly around the product, creating a second skin that holds the product firmly in place.

Besides shrink bags, there are also shrink cooking bags:

Special design for cooking: Cooking shrink bags are a variant of shrink bags specially designed to safely cook or heat food within the bag.
Heat resistance: They combine the properties of shrink bags with the ability to withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for use in the food industry.
Application-oriented: These bags are particularly intended for preparing meat, poultry, fish and other foods. They are ideal for sous-vide cooking, where food is slowly cooked in a water bath at a precisely controlled temperature.

Applications of shrink bags

Fresh Meat and Poultry: Helps maintain the freshness and colour of meat products by providing a tight barrier against air and moisture.
Cheese and dairy products: Protects against external contaminants and maintains integrity during transport and storage.
Fish and Seafood: Prevents dehydration and protects delicate products from physical damage.
Processed Foods: Ideal for items such as cold cuts and sausages, where the tight packaging helps maintain shape and presentation.
Ready-to-eat Meals: Offers an attractive and practical packaging option that extends shelf life and increases consumer convenience.
Frozen foods: Prevents freezer burn by creating a tight-fitting protection around the product, preserving quality for a longer period of time.
