How BOPET Films Maintain Product Freshness

The freshness of any product is important as no one likes to take a bite of a stale apple or eat soggy chips. These situations highlight the importance of availability of fresh products and good packaging helps preserve product’s freshness. BOPET films are exceptional films with remarkable barrier properties that serve as the perfect food packaging film, preserving the quality, and extending the shelf life of many products.

Let's look at factors that cause the products to lose their freshness.

1. Moisture: Excess moisture leads to spoilage through microbial growth and negatively impacts texture.
2. Oxygen: Exposer to oxygen causes oxidation, discolouration, loss of essential nutrients, and rancidity.
3. Light: Light - UV rays degrade vitamins and alter product appearance.
4. Contamination: Unwanted gases, dust, or microorganisms compromise product safety and quality.

Barrier Properties of BOPET Films

Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate, or BOPET films, are advanced polyester films that have significant properties - clarity, durability, thermal resilience, and barrier properties, that makes it an indispensable film to be used in various industries, including the food packaging industry. Here are some standout barrier properties of BOPET films that help preserve freshness:

• BOPET Films Are Moisture Barriers

The bacterial growth and physical degradation of the food product can happen due to moisture ingress. Our BOPET film works as a barrier and keeps the packed products fresh and dry, preventing spoilage.

• BOPET Films Are Oxygen Barriers

Oxygen can cause oxidative degradation, specifically in food products, that leads to spoilage and loss of nutritional value. Cosmo barrier films exhibit low oxygen permeability and protect oxygen-sensitive items from spoilage, while extending their shelf life.

• BOPET Films Protects from UV Light

Products that contain natural colours and flavours can be spoiled or damaged due to UV light. BOPET films can be treated to filter and block such harmful lights, protecting the product from damage.

• BOPET Films Are Aroma Barriers

It’s natural to purchase food products after checking their aroma for freshness. The product's aroma plays a huge role in buyer satisfaction. As one of the global BOPET film manufacturers, we offer BOPET films that have low permeability to aromatic compounds and preserve products' sensorial qualities, preserving its freshness.

• BOPET Is Chemical Resistant

Sensitive food items inside the packaging can react with chemicals and cause spoilage. BOPET films are chemical-resistant and do not react with the product, thus preserving its freshness.

Global BOPET Films market size stood at USD 5.68 billion in 2021. This number is projected to grow and reach USD 9.48 billion by 2028. The manufacturers are adopting circular economy principles, developing recyclable BOPET films for environmentally conscious customers. BOPET film's exceptional ability to preserve a product's freshness makes it an indispensable part of modern film packaging solutions. Connect with us for all your BOPET film requirements
