Freezer bag

Description

Ø  What is a Freezer Bag?

A freezer bag is a heavy-duty, sealable plastic bag specifically designed to protect food from freezer burn and odors during long-term storage in a freezer. They are thicker and more durable than standard storage bags.

That's a great topic! Freezer bags are a staple in many kitchens.

Here is a breakdown of what a freezer bag is, how it differs from a regular storage bag, and some popular options.

 

Ø  Key Features

Thicker Material: They are made with a thicker, more durable material (often 3 mil plastic) than regular storage bags. This prevents cracking or tearing in extreme cold.

Protection Against Freezer Burn: Their robust construction and secure, airtight seals (like a heavy-duty zipper or double seal) are designed to lock out air and moisture. This is crucial for preventing freezer burn, which is dehydration and oxidation on the food's surface that degrades its taste and texture.

Temperature Resistance: They are specifically engineered to withstand freezing temperatures, maintaining their integrity during the freezing and thawing process.


Ø  core suggestion

For a frozen food manufacturing facility, selecting appropriate packaging bags requires comprehensive evaluation of material technology, product characteristics, cost, and regulatory standards. The table below summarizes the current mainstream material structures and their applicable scenarios, serving as a key reference for selection.

Examples of applicable products

prime cost

PET/PE

It is moisture-proof, cold-resistant and has good heat sealing property at low temperature.

Dumplings, tangyuan, baozi and other conventional frozen pastry.

lower

BOPP/PE or BOPP/CPP

Waterproof, cold-resistant, and heat-sealable with strong tensile strength; BOPP/PE offers superior appearance and texture, enhancing the product's premium appeal.

Food items such as steamed buns, flower rolls, and pastries that require a good appearance.

economy

NY/PEPET/NY/LLDPE

It has excellent puncture and impact resistance and good low temperature toughness.

Products with sharp edges or heavy texture, such as ribs, fish pieces, meatballs, and bone-in seafood.

higher

PET/VMPET/CPE

The high barrier property, good light-shielding property and fine printing quality are achieved by the aluminum coating.

Oxidation-sensitive oil-based foods (e.g., nuts, fillings) and high-end retail packaging.

higher

Single-layer PE bag

It has relatively poor barrier property, but is flexible and low cost.

Vegetables, or as a simple packaging for frozen foods.
