Shrink bags

Shrink bags are one of the most common types of packaging materials used in the food industry for more than 50 years. Shrink bags are quite easy to use, suitable for both basic equipment and high-tech automatic lines, and have a wide range of designs and options.

Shrink bags

MPSYSTEM manufactures shrink bags for maturation and storage of food products such as cheese, fresh and processed meat, poultry.
MP SYSTEM bags are produced by co-extrusion and consist of several layers, each of which provides the bag with appropriate properties (e.g. mechanical, barrier, optical, shrink, etc.). The PVdC layer is used as a barrier layer that provides appropriate barrier properties that are independent of product and environment humidity, which is an important advantage for food producers.

The modern equipment and exclusively raw materials approved for food contact are used for the bags manufacturing.
The production process fully complies with all local and EU safety requirements and is continuously monitored by the Quality Department using laboratory equipment.

The main advantages of the shrink bags usage:

product protection from contamination

product protection from oxygen (O2) to extend the shelf life of the product.

release of excess carbon dioxide (CO2) generated during cheese maturing (for “low” and “medium” barrier bags)

product moisture loss protection (water vapor barrier)

product presentation and differentiation due to the optical properties of the bags and the possibilities of printing

protection against leakage (hermetic packaging)

the “bags on tape” option for the automated packaging lines
