FAQ

How can I be sure my shrink bag is tight?

That is quite difficult to judge once the product is in. Every once in a while you should inspect the sealing if it is neat and flat. If you want to check the charge of packaging you are using, you can do this by submerging the bag under water and blowing it up with air.

Can you replace PvdC with EVOH?

In certain cases yes.

Can I ripen meat with bones in shrink bags?

Yes. However you need to make sure to use boneguard structures to avoid perforation of the packaging.

What's better? PA/PE vacuum packaging or shrink vacuum packaging?

Both are great packaging types but since shrink packaging encloses the product tighter, you will normally have less leakage of meat juices, a more stable temperature of the product and therefore a lower risk for growth of microorganisms.

How long can a cheese ripen in a shrink bag?

Depending on your product and considering, besides the ripening time, also storage, transportation and distribution of the packs, the cheese can remain up to 12 months in a shrink bag.
