Choosing the right bacon packaging material effectively prevents food spoilage, extends shelf life, and protects the product against various environmental factors.

Barrier Performance

Bacon is highly prone to oxidation, which can cause fat rancidity, discoloration, and off-odors. High-barrier materials help preserve product integrity by preventing contamination, extending shelf life, and maintaining flavor and texture.

Grease & Moisture Resistance

With its high fat content, bacon is susceptible to oxidation when exposed to air. This leads to rancidity and unpleasant odors that compromise the product’s flavor and quality.

Seal Strength & Seal Integrity

Failed seals can lead to product spoilage and bacterial growth. High-strength seals prevent bacon from drying out, losing flavor, or absorbing odors from the freezer or refrigerator.

Production Line Compatibility

Materials must be compatible with your machinery, supporting processes such as vacuum packaging, thermoforming, and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).

BOPE has strong market potential in flexible packaging. It can be used as a printable base film, a metallized film, and a heat-sealable film.

Compared with BOPP, BOPE offers higher heat-seal integrity and a desirable straight-tear feature, making it easy to open.

Compared with blown PE film, BOPE provides excellent flatness and higher tensile strength. Its puncture resistance is more than twice as high, its haze is lower (approximately 3–5%), and it can be made 30–50% thinner.

Compared with CPP, BOPE has a very significant advantage in lower heat-seal temperature and improved peel strength.

Advantages of BOPE

More suitable for large-volume production orders

High transparency, high gloss, and fewer crystal points

High stiffness and high tensile strength

High puncture resistance

Excellent low-temperature impact resistance, puncture resistance, abrasion resistance, and low-temperature flexibility

Long-lasting dyne level retention, good printability, and precise registration

Disadvantages of BOPE

Not suitable for small-batch, customized requirements

Relatively high seal initiation temperature

Higher initial investment cost for production

Raw material cost is higher than that of other LLDPE materials

BOPE film is a high-performance material, also known as Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Film. The process involves stretching polyethylene film in two directions—known as “biaxial orientation”—which aligns the molecular chains in a highly ordered two-dimensional plane. This stretching dramatically improves the film’s overall properties.

Using PCR packaging brings enormous environmental benefits. It not only effectively reduces plastic waste but also enhances brand image and consumer loyalty, creating sustainable commercial value for enterprises.

Reducing the use of virgin materials

Using recycled materials lowers the demand for virgin raw materials, reduces the volume of waste in landfills and the consumption of fossil fuels, thereby effectively reducing plastic waste and conserving natural resources.

Lowering carbon footprint

Manufacturing products with recycled materials generally requires less energy, which can reduce the total greenhouse gases generated during production, transportation, and disposal, thus lessening environmental impact.

Regulatory compliance

Many countries around the world are enacting legislation that mandates the use of post-consumer recycled materials, requiring plastic products to contain a minimum proportion of recycled content. Preparing in advance will help you comply with relevant regulations.

Enhancing brand image

Using PCR adds a sense of responsibility to your brand and demonstrates your commitment to sustainable development. This can attract environmentally conscious consumers and increase brand loyalty.

Many consumers are willing to pay a higher price for products that use PCR packaging, which makes your products more valuable and may lead to higher profits.

Supporting the circular economy

A circular economy is a system based on the reuse of materials or products, aimed at minimizing environmental impact to the greatest extent possible.

PCR packaging aligns with the circular economy philosophy by extending the lifespan of materials as much as possible, reducing dependence on virgin plastics, and lowering the energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with plastic production.

More cost-effective in the long run

Some companies worry that sustainable packaging is more expensive, but in the long term, post-consumer recycled materials (PCR) can be more cost-effective.

Thermoforming is a process in which films or sheets are shaped into desired forms using pressure forming or vacuum forming techniques. The packaging industry has found that thermoforming film packaging offers extremely high productivity. This process is widely used in the production of barrier packaging for the food industry.

These packages are well-suited for consumer and non-consumer goods in both the food and medical sectors. Food products such as dairy, meat, seafood, fresh fruits, and vegetables can all be packaged using multilayer co-extruded flexible barrier films.

Thermoforming is an ideal choice for storing both soft and hard food and non-food products.

Industrial Applications of Thermoforming Film

Thermoforming Technology in Food Packaging: Thermoforming films possess puncture resistance and low leakage characteristics, making them a valuable resource in the food packaging industry. Even at freezing temperatures, these films maintain their strength, making them one of the best packaging options for refrigerated foods such as red meat and cheese.

Thermoforming Packaging in the Medical Industry: With excellent mechanical strength and moisture resistance, thermoforming films are ideal for packaging sterile medical products, including pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

Thermoforming Technology in Other Packaging Uses: Products made using thermoforming technology—such as thermoforming films, sheets, and blister packs—are perfectly suited for packaging cosmetics, food, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and a wide range of other goods.

Advantages of Using Our Thermoforming Materials

By adopting thermoforming materials, the packaging industry can gain numerous undeniable advantages and practical benefits, such as:

Excellent mechanical strength and high resistance to breakage.

Outstanding barrier properties for food protection, preventing product migration or quality loss and ensuring longer shelf life.

Superior optical clarity and brightness.

Easy to handle, highly sealable, and adaptable to specific production requirements with excellent thermoforming performance.

Ensures a clean and hygienic product appearance.

Uses sustainable materials with significantly reduced thickness (over 20%).

Can be customized with high-quality and technical printing on thermoforming materials.
