LINPAC is continuing the active engineering of its ultra-light, resistant barrier flexible for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), in what has traditionally been a category of heavy gauge film usage. When combined with rPET trays, to create a complete pack solution, the resulting resource efficient, lightweight MAP solution offers a range of benefits to the supply chain. From ease of handling to enhanced on-shelf presentation, the films offer a high level of functionality to protect and preserve fresh products. The new LINPAC production technology produce a broad range of high barrier films with enhanced anti-fog and print properties for customers. In addition, tailor-made shrink performance enables tight, wrinkle-free packs with outstanding clarity and consumer appeal. A notable new formulation, which is created using the new multi-layer extrusion process, is a 25 µm shrink-barrier, anti-fog PE film for retail-ready MAP formats. For use on manual and automatic lidding machines, and qualified form, fill and seal machines, the thin film boasts outstanding optical quality and excellent seal strength. In addition, the film is available in longer than standard rolls to reduce downtime for the packer filler.
