Flexible thermoforming film
Some combinations available from Van den Broek Packaging: Standard PA/PE film with a standard PA oxygen barrier and the usual PE as the sealing layer. Film with a high oxygen barrier, such as PA/PE/EVOH/PE, but with the standard PE sealing layer. This ensures the product has the longest possible shelf life. Film with a standard or high oxygen barrier and high puncture resistance for sharp products, such as spare ribs, pork chops, drumsticks and the like. Film that is resistant to high temperatures, intended for products that are cooked in the packaging; various types of film are available for temperatures ranging from 75 to 120 degrees Celsius. Film with an alternative sealing medium, Surlyn, for cases where excellent adhesion is required. There are also options to customise various variants of the PE sealing medium.
Rigid thermoformed film
In almost all cases, rigid film is used as the bottom layer. Rigid film is only suitable for gas-flushed packaging. Examples include packaging for diced bacon and sliced cheese. Examples of rigid thermoformed film include APET, with PE as the sealing medium. APET can be produced with a high EVOH oxygen barrier or with a peelable layer. In these cases, the top film is not rigid, but flexible and clear. Several variations are possible in this configuration. A rigid top film is also possible in some cases.
