Frozen Food flexible Packing

Frozen foods are packaged in a variety of packaging types. Examples of frozen foods packaged in flexible packaging include

• frozen fruits, 

• vegetables, 

• French fries, 

• individually quick frozen chicken breasts. 

Many frozen foods are packaged in surface printed PE films. Some higher value-added items are packaged in laminations, which may be shaped into stand-up pouches. Most frozen food bags are made on standard VFFS machinery. Key requirements for frozen food packaging are 

• low-temperature toughness, 

• modulus, 

• high hot tack strength, 

• high-seal strength.

Some packages are clear and require good clarity, while others are pigmented and require good gloss. LLDPE, ULDPE, EVA, and POP resins are all commonly used in creating frozen food packaging. Stiffness must be adequate for highspeed packaging, and packaging films must have tear and puncture strength high enough to prevent package damage during transportation and storage. Stand-up pouches and self-venting (microwave) technologies are also used for frozen food packaging these days.
