  • Publication number: 20190134961
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a versatile gas-barrier multilayer heat-shrinkable thermoplastic film that, by minimal variations in its manufacturing process, becomes suitable for the manufacture of packages, called “Flowpack”, on horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) machines, of tray-lidded packages or of shrinkable packaging bags. This film comprises a first outer sealant layer, a second outer polyester layer, an inner barrier layer, no polyamide or polyester inner layer(s), no polyolefin layers positioned between the barrier layer and the sealant layer and at least a polyolefin bulk layer of specific relative thickness placed between the inner barrier layer and the outer polyester layer.

  • Patent number: 10239296
    Abstract: Multilayer barrier heat shrinkable films and flexible containers made therefrom, such as bags, pouches and the like, useful for packaging articles, in particular food items are described. These films are characterized by particular shrinking properties, which provide for tight packages reducing the drip loss from the product packaged therein. Moreover, the bags obtained from such films are endowed with very good optical properties and high abuse resistance.
