High Barrier BOPA for Pet Food Packaging

Description: High Barrier BOPA for Pet Food Packaging EHAp®

High Barrier BOPA Film for Pet Food Model Supamid EHAp provides the ultimate package design combination of lightweight (low gsm) and high protection for brand owners looking for a lightweight product. The special biaxially oriented high barrier BOPA film for pet food combines a specialised ultra-high barrier EVOH layer into a BOPA substrate through its unique structure. The sandwich design of this bopa film for dry and wet pet food has an oxygen transmission rate of <2 cc/(·day·atm), preventing fat oxidation and preserving the meaty aroma of the pet food. Since the internal barrier core of the high barrier bopa film for pet food is protected from damage, it will remain intact in the event of bending or twisting of the packaging during transportation.

Compared to standard co-extruded films, this puncture-resistant pet food packaging provides superior physical protection. The EHAp model serves as a clear retort pouch film that maintains a smooth aesthetic finish even after processing, has a very low haze of only 4.0% and is made to endure the physical challenges of the supply chain, such as when pets scratch or chew on the outside of the packaging. In addition to extending the shelf life of pet foods, the use of high barrier bopa film for pet food also enables pet food manufacturers to significantly lower the amount of material used in the manufacturing process, while maintaining the same level of quality and safety regarding the pet food contained inside.

To support the production of high barrier bopa film for pet food, a dedicated production line was developed to ensure high batch-to-batch consistency and stability. With over 150,000 tons produced per year worldwide, the availability of this BOPA film for dry and wet pet food is adequate for large international brands. This transparent retort pouch film is suitable for high-quality printing with up to 8 colours and can accommodate sealing edge widths of up to 6 cm. Using high barrier bopa film for pet food will enable pet food companies to meet their sustainability objectives by reducing the amount of plastic used and create a "freshness-locking armour" for each meal.

High Barrier BOPA for Pet Food Packaging EHAp® Provides:

a. Ultimate Oxygen Barrier: Achieves transmission rates of <2 cc/(·day·atm) to lock in flavor and prevent spoilage.  

b. Durable Barrier Core: The "sandwich" structure prevents micro-cracks in the EVOH layer during bending or impact.  

c. Resource Efficiency: Significant material thinning reduces overall packaging weight and environmental impact without losing performance.  

d. Crystal Clear Visibility: A 4.0% haze level provides a transparent view of the food, building consumer trust.  

e. High-Speed Processing: Excellent thickness uniformity and dimensional stability ensure smooth printing and bagging.

How Does EHAp Protect Pet Food Better Than Conventional Coextruded Films?

Conventional films usually develop micro-cracks in the barrier layer when twisted. However, the high barrier bopa film for pet food has a "sandwich" structure that encloses the EVOH, and therefore, even during severe abuse, the oxygen barrier of the puncture-resistant pet food packaging will be <2 cc/(·day·atm).

Is the film appropriate for both dry kibble and wet canned pouches?

Yes, EHAp is a versatile bopa film for dry and wet pet food and is capable of providing the puncture resistant pet food packaging strength that is required for large dry bags, as well as the transparent retort pouch film properties that are necessary for the preservation of high-barrier wet food.

How much will this film extend the shelf life of meaty pet treats?

The top-tier oxygen barrier provided by this film will significantly enhance the fresh pet food and prevent the oxidation of fats. The resulting locking of the meaty aroma and flavour in the high barrier BOPA film for pet food will make the treats taste good for a lot longer.

Will consumers be able to see the quality of the food through the packaging?

Yes, High barrier bopa film for pet food has an ultra-low haze of 4.0%, making it an ideal transparent retort pouch film to show the actual condition of the ingredients, which is important in building trust in the pet food industry.

Does this high-barrier film help with plastic reduction goals?  

Yes, EHAp achieves superior barrier performance at a lower thickness than alternative multilayer co-extruded films. Therefore, choosing the high barrier bopa film for pet food will require less material, thereby reducing costs and supporting global initiatives to reduce plastics.

What is the maximum printing capability for this pet food film? 

High barrier bopa film for pet food is designed for high-end retail display and enables high precision printing of up to 8 colours. As such, the transparent retort pouch film may be used by brands to create colourful graphics that have great barrier and strength.
