•Breather Bags – one side TyVek, one side HDPE



•Chevron peel pouches – easy open seal pattern, utilized for sterile presentation purposes

•Made from a wide variety of laminations, with a peelable sealant layer


Packaging Requirements & Questions

•Is there an existing spec sheet? – the master document that lists all aspects of the packaging being discussed: structure, barrier, dimensions, unwind, core size, etc.

•Dimensions? – OD (outside dimension) or ID (inside dimension)

•What barrier does your product need? – the end user should dictate the type of barrier necessary to preserve their products integrity. Each product, food or otherwise, will require different OTR/MVTR levels to ensure its longevity.

•Gauge – the thickness of the film which will affect the tear and burst strength of the packaging.

•Samples – important to verify that you are quoting exactly what they are buying, as well as to verify the information they currently have on this product.
