Barrier, Strength and Durability for Demanding Food Applications

Base Webs and Forming Films

The wide range of base webs available from Bemis provides packaging solutions for a variety of deep-draw applications. Superior corner strength and total package integrity are maintained at all gauges, along with excellent machinability and seal characteristics.

ICE™

Introducing an innovative 7 layer co-extruded film with strong barrier properties and highly transparent appearance. Developed to provide a large forming window, excellent puncture resistance and good sealing characteristics, ICE™ films offer outstanding heat resistance and excellent machineability. Because ICE™ is so versatile, it can be used in a variety of applications including hard cheese blocks, spare ribs, frozen meats and dry foods.

ICE™F – a proprietary 7-layer, nylon-based coextruded film offering the ultimate in gloss, transparency, durability and forming. Outstanding strength and rigidity for demanding food packaging. Available in standard and high-barrier formulations. 

ICE™ and ICE™ F are also available in high-barrier formulations - ICE™ HB (high-barrier) & ICE™ F HB (high barrier, high gloss).

Vac M – a versatile forming web that allows bases to be downgauged without sacrificing strength.

Vac HB – a durable high-barrier base web with added EVOH protection.

Flex F – an excellent base for hard-to-hold, sharp-edged products. Withstands rough handling and transport.

Therm – a heat-resistant base web that withstands temperatures to 110°C. Suited for boil-in-bag applications such as fish, poultry and potato products.

Therm P – a sterilizable flexible film that withstands heat up to 121°C. Ideal for boil-in-bag applications including root vegetables and poultry. Available in yellow, white and peelable grades.

Proprietary ICE™ (Internal Coolant Exchange) films feature a breakthrough 7-layer nylon coextrusion process that delivers advances in extended distribution, longer shelf life and enhanced product appearance.

These highly machinable films provide brilliant clarity and sheen, with superior resistance to haze. High-residual shrink and excellent memory retention create packages that form tightly to the product and hold their shape over time.

Superb surface printing characteristics enhance the package’s overall impact. And cooler forming temperatures allow greater corner thickness than competitive films, for improved oxygen barrier and longer shelf life.
