CHOOSE TO SUIT YOUR PRODUCT

Barrier and strength according to product requirements

Vacuum packaging can reduce the product's contact with oxygen and contribute to a longer shelf life when the right material and process are selected. Different barrier levels, thicknesses and constructions provide options for meat, fish, cheese, ready meals and other products.

Selection considers product dimensions, weight, shape, sharp edges, moisture content and shelf-life requirements, as well as machine type and sealing method. PA/PE is a common option. EVOH can provide a higher barrier, while PET/PE and PET/PP may suit requirements for stiffness, transparency or temperature resistance. Shrink bags mould around the product during heat treatment.

  • Fresh and processed meat, cured meats and larger cuts.
  • Fish and seafood.
  • Cheese.
  • Ready meals.
  • Bakery products.
  • Frozen products.
  • Animal feed.
  • Industrial vacuum packaging.

Product information and branding on the same bag

Vacuum bags can feature a logo, colour design and product information with transparent areas showing the contents. Flexographic printing in up to 10 colours allows both partial printing and full-surface designs. Emballa, with Plastrum OÜ in Estonia behind the brand, helps select material, barrier, thickness and construction for the process concerned.

A partner throughout the project

Emballa is backed by Plastrum OÜ. We help businesses in the Baltics and Scandinavia choose material, construction and printing method. We compare manufacturing options and coordinate the project from specification to delivery.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Before you order.

Which vacuum bag suits meat?

Strong PA/PE bags are often used for meat. For longer shelf-life requirements or larger cuts, an EVOH barrier or shrink bags may be suitable. Selection is based on product and process.

Are the bags suitable for automatic packing lines?

Yes. Bags and roll materials can be adapted to the line's dimensions, operating temperature and sealing method.

Can vacuum bags be ordered with a logo?

Yes. Logos, product information, colour designs and transparent windows can be combined in the printing solution.

What determines the barrier level?

The material layers and their thickness determine the barrier. EVOH or polyamide improve the oxygen and aroma barrier and can contribute to a longer shelf life for the packed product.
