OTR stands for Oxygen Transmission Rate and WVTR for Water Vapor Transmission Rate. The lower these values, the better the protection. A low OTR prevents oxidation (changes in taste and color), which is essential for high-fat products and supplements. A low WVTR keeps moisture out, ensuring powders remain free-flowing and snacks keep their crunch.

For most products on a standard retail shelf, our standard barrier is perfectly fine, as normal store lighting has minimal impact. Maximum light protection is only necessary when your products are exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, or if you use highly UV-sensitive ingredients. In those cases, materials with an aluminum or METPET layer offer the highest level of security.

Yes, absolute product protection and sustainability go hand in hand. Our latest barrier packaging is made of 100% recyclable mono-material. This ensures maximum product freshness while immediately complying with the strict European PPWR regulations.

Products containing oils or fats require materials that prevent migration (grease bleeding). Our specially developed grease-resistant materials ensure that fats stay inside the pouch. This keeps the outside of the stand-up pouch looking clean and flawless on the shelf.

For aroma-sensitive products like coffee and tea, a barrier with high aroma retention is essential. Our premium stand-up pouches seal the product hermetically, meaning the desired aromas are only released when the customer opens the package. At the same time, the film blocks unwanted external odors, keeping the flavor pure.

For sharp, hard, or heavy products, we offer stand-up pouches with extra puncture-resistant layers. These special layers increase the structural integrity and mechanical resistance of the pouch, offering maximum protection against tearing or puncturing during transport and handling.

Absolutely. Because every product is unique, we always recommend testing the material first. You can easily request free samples via our website.
