This new variant provides meat processors with an exceptional stretch properties, shelf-appealing clarity, and reliable sealing consistency over the elevated table-top machines, making it ideal for processors seeking high-performance, Non-PVC, health-safe, recycle-ready alternatives without compromising operational efficiency of their meat processing plants. This variant has been tested across multiple North American meat processing facilities manufacturing variety of meat products and has been fine-tuned to operate at maximum speeds comparable to PVC Films.

Forvara® Non-Barrier Lidding Shrink Film

Leveraging its advanced R&D capabilities, Specialty Polyfilms has recently developed an innovative film solution specifically for the poultry industry.
Historically, the poultry sector has been unable to adopt lidding shrink film technology due to the requirement for non-barrier properties, which are critical for products such as whole chickens. Conventional lidding shrink films, being barrier-oriented, restricted oxygen transmission and were therefore unsuitable for these applications.

To address this long-standing industry challenge, Specialty Polyfilms has introduced Forvara® Non-Barrier Lidding Shrink Film. This new solution enables poultry processors to leverage the benefits of lidding shrink film technology—such as superior pack integrity, shelf presentation, and line efficiency—while maintaining the non-barrier properties essential for poultry products.
The development marks a significant advancement for the poultry packaging segment, offering processors a solution that balances performance, product suitability, and processing efficiency.

Alongside the premium NG variant, the company will showcase:

Forvara AW-40 — A versatile regular-grade Non-PVC Meat overwrapping film suitable for both inline and elevated tabletop overwrapping machine systems, offering excellent balance of performance and value to the Meat Processors and Retailer-owned Meat Processing facilities.
End-and-Bottom Seal Stretch-Shrink Three-Side Sealing Film — Engineered for superior retail pack integrity – leak-proof, optimized shelf presentation, up to 8 color printing, and robust sealing for meat and poultry applications.

Speaking about industry shifts, the President of Specialty America noted:

We’re seeing a clear and accelerating movement across mid-sized and large meat processors toward Non-PVC Meat Overwrapping film options. Processors are no longer just exploring alternatives—they’re actively transitioning with real conviction. Our responsibility is to support that shift with reliable, high-performance customized overwrapping film solutions that fit seamlessly into their existing plant operations.

Shantanu Deshpande

President
