Cheese & Dairy Packaging
Oxygen and moisture barrier, sealing and product shape.
Oxygen and moisture barrier, sealing and product shape.
Cheese and dairy need a close fit, a barrier against oxygen and moisture, and a seal that follows the shape of the block or wheel.
Fat and moisture need a film that keeps oxygen and humidity out, so the cheese stays as it was packed.
The seal has to hold on blocks, wedges and wheels, including close-fitting shrink packs.
The pack should follow the cut or wheel instead of leaving loose film around it.
Most cheese stays chilled. The film has to stay clear and sealed at that temperature.
Start with the format that matches the cheese shape and the machine you already run.
A high-barrier PA-EVOH-PE web for portioned cheese on a thermoforming line.
Vacuum bags for blocks and wedges, including embossed bags for external sealers.
Formed packs when the line already runs a thermoformer and the portion size is fixed.
Shrinks tight onto blocks and wheels after vacuum, for a tidy wrap and stable handling.
A first recommendation: the final structure, thickness and format are confirmed with samples tested on your packing machine.
Seven details are enough for a first proposal. If you do not know an answer yet, just write "Not sure": our engineers will help you work it out, and samples confirm the choice on your machine.
What you pack: blocks, wedges, wheels or sliced cheese
Chilled or frozen, and how the packs are distributed
Any cooking, pasteurisation or reheating after packing, or none
Machine type or model, or packed by hand
Bag or web dimensions, and thickness if known
Plain or printed, number of colours, artwork
Estimated quantity per order or per month
Chamber machines and external suction sealers need different bags.
