9. Chocolate packaging

Packaging requirements: good barrier properties, light-proof, beautiful printing, low temperature heat sealing.

Design structure: pure chocolate varnish/ink/white BOPP/PVDC/cold sealant brownie varnish/ink/VMPET/AD/BOPP/PVDC/cold sealant

Design reason: PVDC and VMPET are both high-barrier materials. Cold sealants can be sealed at very low temperatures, and heat will not affect the chocolate. Since nuts contain a lot of oil and are prone to oxidation and deterioration, an oxygen barrier layer is added to the structure.

11. Beverage packaging bags

Packaging requirements: pH value of acidic drinks <4.5, pasteurization, general barrier properties. The pH value of neutral drinks is >4.5, which means they have high sterilization and barrier properties.

Design structure: Acid drinks: PET/PE (CPP), BOPA/PE (CPP), PET/VMPET/PE Neutral drinks: PET/AL/CPP, PET/AL/PA/CPP, PET/AL/PET/CPP ,PA/AL/CPP

Design reason: For acidic beverages, PET and PA can provide good barrier properties and resist pasteurization. The acidity extends the shelf life. For neutral beverages, AL provides the best barrier properties, high strength of PET and PA, and high temperature sterilization resistance.
