Extended Shelf-Life

Extended Shelf-Life

These printed extended shelf-life films are laser-micro perforated with anti-mist properties. They offer extended shelf-life for salads, herbs, fruit and other fresh produce. TCL has developed these films to display products at their best and maintain maximum freshness.

TCL conducts extensive foodstuff testing for customers to determine exact respiration rates and match micro-perforation processes to the end product. We work with leading industry testing bodies using highly scientific methods and real test data to establish gas transmission rates. We then recommend the appropriate printed film for the application, including the size, amount and patterning of micro-perforations to ensure optimum packaging performance.
