New shrink film introduces thinner anti-fog alternative to PVC for produce
Sealed Air Cryovac CT-311 shrink film clears the fog around produce packaging
With today’s release of Cryovac® CT-311 anti-fog shrink film, Sealed Air (sealedair.com) has opened a clearer path for processors to achieve better performing and more sustainable fresh produce packaging.
The latest addition to Sealed Air’s award-winning line of Cryovac® Technology (CT) shrink films, CT-311 is the market’s first micro-layered anti-fog shrink film, as well as its thinnest. Primarily used to package cold chain produce goods including mushrooms, corn and peppers, CT-311 film prevents water droplets (or “fog”) from accumulating inside of the film and clouding package contents. Maximizing optic properties by eliminating fog holds great value for both consumers and retailers – recent Sealed Air consumer testing found that product presentation trails only protection and contamination prevention among desired produce packaging priorities. Additionally, CT-311 shrink film accommodates growing demand for a microwaveable and thin-gauge anti-fog film, allowing consumers to heat products wrapped in this film directly in the package. Further, CT-311 does not contain plasticizers that are typically used with PVC films.
