Shelf Stable Food

Tailored barrier packaging delivers product protection and long shelf life
As consumers embrace the wellness trend and seek healthier foods, shelf stable packaging is benefitting more and more on clear packaging to showcase ingredients. Consumers are seeking cleaner labels. So brand owners are exploring preservative-free formulations that require better UV protection from their packaging. Shelf stable packaging uses tailored barrier solutions for delivery of long shelf life and UV protection.
