VFFS FILM

Packaging Film For Food Processors

Retaining freshness and shelf life when transporting food items is more important than ever for a healthy bottom line. That is why General Films is the best choice for customized food packaging. Bring us your greatest challenges and we will work with you to develop a practical, cost-effective solution.

 

Poultry/Dry Pack Bags

• ​Our vacuum/dry pack poultry bags extend the shelf life and appearance of whole birds, parts, or shelf-ready tray packs. General Films' pinhole-free coextruded film provides tailored moisture, oxygen, and carbon dioxide barriers for better product protection. Additionally, a special seal layer gives you a wide seal temperature range to compensate for ever-changing plant conditions. To enhance productivity, our puncture-resistant film is specially compounded for safe, efficient handling of the sharp bone-in product.
   

Meat, Cheese, Nuts Spices, and More

• Our Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) And Barrier Films bags and films are used for diverse food and meat applications. For case-ready applications, we offer medium and high barrier options. Because we can customize the film to accommodate various gas, flavor, and aroma requirements, these products can significantly extend product life.
   

Bulk Cheese Packaging

• ​General Films manufactures institutional bulk cheese packaging for 40 lb. blocks; 500 lb. barrel lines, and or 640 lb. sheets and sleeves (tubes). Our cheese packaging films provide excellent oxygen transmission (OTR) values for both long and short hold applications.  In addition, this 9-layer coextruded barrier film is available in clear and or colored and exceeds all FDA requirements for institutional cheese packaging.   Its ease of machinability, toughness, and low heat sealability, make this a versatile and cost-effective solution for all your short and long-hold product needs.    
   

Produce Film

• ​Precut lettuce, salad mix, and other produce enjoy longer shelf life, excellent taste, color, and freshness with General Films coextruded film or bag produce packaging. We can design oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor barriers for each specific product. Plus, a wide heat seal range assures quick and tight vacuum closures. And we have a complete line of vertical form fill and seal film for precut produce packaging.
   

Grains Packaging

• General Films manufactures custom-engineered VFFS film for the grain product category and where a moisture barrier is a must.  Whether that is cookies, cake mix, cereals, rice, or seasonings, General Films offers a high moisture barrier product that will keep your packaging fresh. With a blended HDPE coextruded film, let General Film provide you with a cost-effective offering and superior performance and value.
