EVOH High Barrier Film

IDEAL-VO is a PE/EVOH-based multilayer top web developed for vacuum skin packaging of oxygen-sensitive food products. The film forms closely around the product and seals to a compatible tray, bottom web or coated paperboard, creating a clear, tight-fitting retail pack. This EVOH high barrier skin film combines oxygen and aroma barrier performance with clarity, formability and puncture resistance. It can be evaluated for fresh meat, cheese, prepared foods and other chilled-food applications where product protection, shelf presentation and stable performance on commercial VSP lines are required. Film thickness, roll dimensions, barrier level and sealing layer can be matched to the food product, tray material and vacuum skin packaging machine

What is EVOH Barrier Film?

EVOH barrier film is a high-performance multilayer packaging material widely used in food packaging applications. It provides excellent oxygen and aroma barrier properties, helping protect sensitive foods during storage and transport.

In most industrial applications, EVOH is combined with materials such as PA and PE to form multilayer structures that balance barrier performance, mechanical strength, and sealability.

Tray, Bottom Web and Machine Compatibility

IDEAL-VO EVOH VSP film can be matched with different bottom carriers, including rigid trays, semi-rigid webs, flexible bottom webs and coated paperboard.

Compatibility depends on the sealing surface rather than only the base material name. For example, two PET trays may use different sealing coatings and may require different film structures or sealing temperatures. A film should therefore not be approved only because the tray is described as PE, PP, PS or PET.

Before a bulk order, we recommend testing the actual film and tray combination on the customer’s vacuum skin packaging line. Please provide:

  • ♦  Tray or bottom-web material and sealing-layer information
  • ♦  Tray dimensions and sealing-area width
  • ♦  VSP machine brand, model and working width
  • ♦  Current film thickness and roll specification
  • ♦  Food type, product height and presence of bones or sharp edges
  • ♦  Required seal type: easy peel or lock seal
  • ♦  Target packing speed and current sealing settings

Customers can also review our vacuum skin packaging trays and food skin packaging machines when evaluating a complete film, tray and equipment combination.

Why Choose IDEAL-VO EVOH Film

High Oxygen Barrier

Effectively reduces oxygen penetration to extend freshness and shelf life of chilled food products.

Premium Shelf Appearance

High transparency and tight skin effect improve product visibility and retail presentation.

Strong Puncture Resistance

Designed for vacuum skin packaging to protect sharp edges and irregular food shapes.

Applications
  • ♦  Fresh meat (beef, pork, lamb, poultry)
  • ♦  Seafood & fish fillets
  • ♦  Cheese & dairy products
  • ♦  Ready-to-eat meals
  • ♦  Processed & deli foods

Fresh Meat and Bone-In Products

For beef, pork, lamb and other meat products, film selection should consider product height, bone exposure, puncture risk, purge control, storage temperature and distribution conditions. Products with sharp edges may require a thicker or higher-puncture-resistance grade rather than selecting the film only by OTR.

Cheese and Prepared Foods

For cheese, cooked foods and ready meals, buyers should confirm the target oxygen barrier, aroma protection, sealing surface and required peel performance. The food formulation and expected shelf life should be evaluated together with the complete package.

Seafood Applications

Seafood packaging requirements vary according to species, processing method, storage temperature, destination market and food-safety plan. A high-barrier EVOH skin film should not automatically be treated as suitable for every seafood product. The final film structure and packaging process must be validated against applicable reduced-oxygen packaging regulations.

Advantage

1.Highly formable high barrier films offer unparalleled barrier protection for food.

2.Effectively preserving the freshness of foods while enhancing their appeal on retail shelves.

3.The EVOH layer effectively blocks air and anaerobic bacteria, ensuring the freshness and taste of food remain authentic.

4.Excellent vacuum forming property &high oxygen barrier property .

FAQ 

What is EVOH high barrier vacuum skin packaging film?

It is a multilayer VSP top film containing an EVOH barrier layer. The film is heated and formed closely around the food product before sealing to a compatible tray, bottom web or coated board. EVOH helps reduce oxygen and aroma transmission through the packaging structure.

How should buyers compare the OTR of different EVOH VSP films?

Compare films only when the OTR test method, temperature, relative humidity and tested thickness are stated. An OTR number without these conditions cannot provide a reliable film-to-film comparison.

Does a lower OTR automatically guarantee a longer shelf life?

No. OTR is one important packaging parameter, but shelf life also depends on the food product, initial microbial load, seal integrity, residual oxygen, storage temperature, processing method and cold-chain control. Shelf life should be confirmed through a finished-package validation study.

Can the film seal directly to PE, PP, PS and PET trays?

Compatibility depends on the tray’s actual sealing surface or coating. Customers should provide tray samples or sealing-layer information so the correct film structure can be selected and tested.

Which film thickness should I choose?

The appropriate thickness depends on product height, sharp edges, puncture risk, tray depth, machine forming conditions and distribution requirements. A thicker film is not automatically the best option; sample testing is recommended.

Can IDEAL provide TDS, COA and food-contact compliance documents?

Available documents depend on the selected film grade and destination market. Buyers should identify the required standard or regulation during the inquiry so the relevant documentation can be confirmed before ordering.

Is high-barrier EVOH VSP film suitable for all seafood products?

Not necessarily. Some seafood applications have specific reduced-oxygen packaging and oxygen-permeability requirements. The processor must validate the film, food product, storage conditions and food-safety controls according to the destination market.
