Custom Dry Food Bags Keep Food Fresh
Properly storing your food product is essential for any business. To do this, you will want to make sure your chosen pouch is able to maintain your food or product’s quality. With this in mind, we make our product packaging flexible with a protective barrier. This Flexible Barrier Packaging is part of a modified atmosphere packaging that protects product integrity while also allowing for a longer food shelf life.
Products such as dry food mixes or pet foods are extremely sensitive to moisture, which means they need to be packaged in enhanced barrier plastic films. This barrier allows no room for moisture to penetrate the product while contained within the package. Other foods, like chips, suffer from taste and texture change when exposed to oxygen. This is what many people refer to as a food item that is stale. In this case, chips would need to be packaged with our oxygen barrier packaging materials.
Camping Meals and Long Term Food Storage
What was once a sleepy industry catering to the Military as MRE's - "Meals Ready to Eat" has bloomed into a multi-billion dollar industry serving all sorts of clients from campers, and people living in remote areas to emergency preparedness. Pouches offer a great solution for these items. because they are versatile, strong, and well suited for this application.
- Reconstitute in Pouch: CarePac offers high-heat, retort style materials which can withstand having hot water added directly to the bag to reconstitute the product.
- High Barrier: You hear us talk a lot about barrier on this site, but for long term dried food storage barrier is not optional. CareFoil high barrier film is the solution to maintaining your dried food for the long term.
