What Are The Types Of Frozen Food Packaging?

Food is available in everyone's freezers. Is your preferred frozen food option available below the peas and containers of concentrated orange juice? You need a solution that will retain its structural integrity while packing fresh frozen food for a long time.

Food can expand by up to 9% when frozen, depending on the amount of internal moisture. Material for packing frozen food must be both flexible and sturdy.

Frozen meal packaging should withstand freezing temperatures between 0 and -40 degrees. We advise utilizing alternatives such as our standing pouch or a lay-flat container made with non-barrier materials. Our packaging is sturdy but puncture-proof, essential for low-temperature handling, storage, and transit.

Flexible bags for packing frozen food should emphasize the following specific qualities:

  • Easily filled and sealed
  • Easily storable
  • Moisture resistant
  • Strong and flexible materials
  • Liquid-resistant, including water, oil, and grease
  • Constructed with FDA food-grade substances

Which prints are used or can be used for frozen food?

Foods need a variety of variations, and polyethylene (PE) shrinking sheets can withstand temperatures as low as -40 degrees. Most foods can be packaged in PET/3.5mil White PE type bags, but frozen chicken is best off in PET/3.5mil Nylon PE style bags.

What are the benefits of each of those types?

Consider the lifespan of these products realistically as they are intended to be placed in the freezer. The requirement for durable freezer packaging is evident if you've ever spent time looking for a misplaced sleeve of burger patties because things are frequently moved about.

Collaborating with More & More Stickers on frozen packaged food concepts has advantages because we have experience with various packaging. We've seen several things, such as how white sealant offers nice opacity and conceals the frozen substance, so it doesn't seem all crusty. But, we are familiar enough with frozen food packaging to know that nylon offers higher puncture resistance.

Protective Packaging For Frozen Products

Our food is frozen primarily for future consumption. If you're selling frozen goods, your packaging must be of the highest caliber to ensure the product lasts. Companies must make sure their packaging has the right films and barriers to maintain and shield the products from inside oxidation and dryness, which can result in freezer burn but also look great. We can assist with both, too.
