Why Barrier Packaging Matters More Than Ever
In today's competitive and safety-conscious markets, preserving product integrity is critical—especially in the food and medical industries. Whether it’s protecting dried snacks from moisture or ensuring sterile medical tools remain uncontaminated, barrier flexible packaging offers a vital solution. At LPS Industries, our high-barrier laminated packaging is engineered to prevent oxygen, light, and moisture penetration, ensuring your product stays protected from production to consumption.
What Is High-Barrier Flexible Packaging?
High-barrier flexible packaging refers to materials engineered to provide maximum protection against environmental factors that degrade products—like oxygen, humidity, UV light, and contaminants. These packaging films are often laminated with multiple layers of protective materials like foil, nylon, polyester, and polyethylene, forming a shield around your goods.
Common Barrier Materials Include:
Foil laminates (e.g., foil/polyester/poly): Excellent moisture and oxygen barriers.
Saran-coated films: Great for aroma retention and clarity.
Nylon blends: Offer puncture resistance and strength.
Applications in the Food Industry
The shelf life of food products can be significantly extended with high-barrier flexible packaging, especially for items sensitive to oxidation or moisture.
Use Cases Include:
Spices & Dry Ingredients – Prevent clumping and flavor degradation.
Snacks & Baked Goods – Maintain crunchiness and freshness.
