FILMS

NANOPACK Multilayer plastic films stand out because they improve the presentation of sliced products, enhancing their visual features such as color and brightness.

They are machine-friendly, and have great non-stick (anti-static) capacity, making them ideal for all fresh and frozen products

They are compatible with the full range for normal, medium and high speed slice applications with top mechanical properties allowing up to 1,700 cuts/minute.
The films maintain excellent cutting and interleaver grouping properties.
It does not require the usual previous freezing prozess.

SHRINK BAGS

Highly durable bags that offer excellent shelf-life, bone puncture resistance, clarity and printability for the meat industry join a new portfolio of Vector shrink bags.

Shrink bags have excellent barrier properties for bone-in meat applications such as sealing strength, high transparency and glossiness.

VECTOR shrink bags range are high-strength shrink bags with or without meat adhesion. They can be used as primary or secondary packaging of meat products, during cooking at full cook temperatures or as post pasteurizing bags. Their durability makes them especially suited for packing sharp or hard products. They come in versions with carefully designed meat cling properties and promote better yields in cooking applications.
