CRYOVAC® Brand Non-Barrier Shrink Bags

Non-barrier shrink bags effectively enclose and protect food products during storage, transportation, and retail. The lack of barrier properties allows for some gas permeability, which helps products such as fresh poultry or seafood stay safe, clean, and fresh until consumption.

Non-barrier shrink bags provide a tight, visually appealing package that enhances food presentation while reducing moisture loss. Breathable, non-barrier bags help reduce the unwelcome accumulation of carbon dioxide inside the package, thereby enhancing consumer perception of freshness. And with limited gas permeability, these bags help maintain product quality and food safety by potentially inhibiting anaerobic bacteria growth.

Options include a range of permeability levels as well as bags that are easy to open without sharp tools. The lightweight nature and physical properties of non-barrier shrink bags make them excellent performers on processing lines, under refrigeration or freezing, and in retail environments.
