Vacuum pouch for storage and freezing

The vacuum pouch for storage and freezing provides neat, sealed packaging for portioned food. Once the air is removed, the pouch clings to the product, creating easy-to-handle units for processing, chilled storage and delivery. The product remains visible through the transparent surface, and suitable space can be planned for pack identification and batch marking.

Pouch construction

The pouch is made from a 65 micron, seven-layer co-extruded material. Its aroma barrier properties and sealable design meet the requirements of vacuum packaging. The flat, pillow-style pouch is suitable for products stored lying flat, and the pack is closed by sealing the open side. When choosing the film thickness, it is worth considering the weight of the contents, their surface and the stresses arising when the pack is handled.

Storage and portioning

The vacuum pouch is practical when the product is to be stocked or passed on in predefined portions. A pack matched to the pack size fits more easily into storage compartments, and only the quantity needed has to be opened at the time of use. With frozen goods, the shape of the product and the stacking of the packs also affect the load on the pouch. The appropriate cold chain, storage temperature and product handling must be ensured alongside the use of the packaging material. Portioning before freezing also allows the order of use to be planned. The pack marking should be placed where it remains legible during storage and where the label or print does not interfere with checking the seal area.

A solution to suit your packaging machine

We recommend a chamber vacuum packaging machine for this smooth vacuum pouch. The required pouch size is determined by the circumference of the product, the filling height and the free area left for sealing. The mouth of the pouch must be placed evenly on the sealing bar; creases, grease or product residue in the seal area can impair the quality of the seal. It is worth trying the selected size with the actual contents, because a pouch that is too tight makes filling and proper sealing difficult.

Modified atmosphere packaging and presentation

The pouch can also be chosen for modified atmosphere packaging, with a suitable machine and a process designed for the contents. This can be particularly relevant where direct vacuum pressure would adversely change the shape of the product. The gas mixture and the shelf life must always be determined for the specific food. The pouch can also be printed with your own logo or artwork, so the packaging supports both product identification and brand presentation.

For a recommendation of the right vacuum pouch, please tell us the product to be packed, the portion weight, the required pouch size, the machine you use and the storage conditions. On this basis, we will select a version that fits well into both your packaging process and your daily goods handling.
