Specially designed for resealable packaging, the product will retain moisture and prevent drying of produce, meats, cheeses and wet wipes, or keep moisture out to prevent staling of nuts and other snack foods.
FLEXcon product identification market development specialist Michelle Lamontagne said: "As the use of resealable packaging continues to increase, there is a growing need in the food market for packaging materials that enhance shelf life by maintaining food freshness.
"The barrier properties of the PVDC-coated polypropylene provide moisture control ideal for these purposes, and this product serves as an example of our continued effort to meet the unique needs of the food packaging market."
optiFLEX RESEAL BARRIER Clear uses a 2mm clear PVDC-coated flexible BOPP film with a resealable adhesive and TRACrite 120 polyester release liner, which is said to offer on-press performance for tight-registration graphics.
