Core Structural & Performance Features
Our retort pouch is a multi-laminate marvel, where each layer serves a distinct, critical function:
- Outer Layer: Durability & Printability
- Material: Biaxially Oriented Polyester (PET) or Nylon
- Function: Provides exceptional puncture and abrasion resistance. Serves as a brilliant, high-resolution print surface for brand impact.
- Middle Layer: The Impermeable Barrier
- Material: Aluminum Foil (or transparent SiO₂/AlOx coating for microwaveable variants)
- Function: Creates an absolute barrier against oxygen, moisture, and light, preventing spoilage and preserving nutritional and flavor profiles for years.
- Inner Layer: Product Contact & Seal Integrity
- Material: Cast Polypropylene (CPP) specifically formulated for retort.
- Function: Resists high temperatures (up to 135°C/275°F) and provides a robust, hermetic seal that remains flexible and strong post-process.
