Top Seal Film for Fresh Produce

Non-Barrier Top Seal / Lidding Shrink Films - Why it Matters

For produce such as mushroom, mini-cukes, tomato, corn, salad, cooking greens and other moisture / gas-emitting products / processed foods, a complete high Barrier / airtight seal can cause spoilage through foul / obnoxious smell, pack bloating, purge accumulation, and thus can reduce shelf appeal of products packed. This tends to impact the taste of the fresh produce products or moisture / gas-emitting produce products packed in High-Barrier Top Seal / Lidding Films. Non-Barrier Top Seal / Lidding Films allow controlled exchange of moisture / gases that are emitted from produce while still providing a secure, leak-resistant and high integrity seal on containers made from PET, PP etc. This helps maintain package stability, provides a cleaner presentation, and ensures better overall product quality on the shelf, without interfering with the taste and odour of produce products.

FORVARA® Non-Barrier Top Seal / Lidding Shrink Film Solution

FORVARA® is a range of Non-Barrier Top Seal / Lidding Films designed for Fresh Produce applications considering the pain points of the industry to reduce the cost through lidding technology and leverage Non-Barrier properties. The film combines non-barrier properties to allow easy release of gases from package, excellent sealing strength to avoid leakages and easy peel ability for consumers convenience, permeability, anti-fog performance, and high elasticity to deliver reliable sealing even on trays containing irregular or protruding products like mushroom, mini-cukes, tomato, corn, salad, cooking greens.
