An important role for food packaging: protecting and preserving

Food packaging, compared to other forms of packaging, in order for it to perform properly its function, must follow its own scrupulous rules. It is a fundamental aspect that no product can give up, an indispensable ally to accompany basic necessities from production to sale to use, in the home kitchen or professional kitchens. Thanks to the packaging of food, through packaging, food is protected from the external environment and the organoleptic properties are preserved, so as to assure consumers of the characteristics of the fresh product.

Food packaging ensures freshness, integrity and preservation for extended periods of time, thanks to the features of Packstyle packaging, which efficiently and effectively meets the needs of producers and customers while preserving the quality of the food unaltered.

Good packaging allows food to be preserved until the time of consumption in an intact manner. For this reason, packaging must be made of materials, non-toxic and compatible with the products with which they come in contact.

Good packaging resists trauma and tampering, preventing the entry of gases and

odors or deterioration of the contents.

Packstyle flexible packaging is certified for food contact.

It is available in doypack format (link doypack stand up page) or flat pouch version (link flat pouch) and in various sizes to meet the needs of single-serve manufacturers, up to larger sizes used for refills or family packs.

Three different finishes are available: glossy, matte and soft touch, and it is also possible to add accessories such as euro hole, degassing valve and resealable zipper to the pouches, or a transparent window can be affixed to the front of the pack to show the inside. 

To best preserve the food inside, aluminum pouches are naturally provided with a barrier against moisture, oxygen, aroma and light. As for pouches made of other materials, an EVOH barrier is placed inside them that performs the same functions while preserving the organoleptic characteristics of the stored food product.

All pouches are heat sealable to prevent the contents from leaking out, are suitable for vacuum or protected atmosphere packaging, and are resealable so that they can also preserve products that are not consumed at once.

Packstyle pouches also allow for sterilization heat treatments for proper storage of specific foods. 

The importance of sustainability

In addition, the paper oiled by Packstyle comes from forests or plantations managed under strict social and economic environmental standards. Packstyle uses solvent-free inks, and for those who need them, the graphics department is ready to recommend solutions involving small quantities. For all pouches also Packstyle provides official logo graphics for the proper disposal of the materials that make up the pouch. (See our contact page)
