Printed stand-up pouch for oxygen-sensitive nuts and dried fruit

Oxygen barrier packaging

Oxygen Barrier Packaging for Coffee, Foods & Supplements

Reduce oxygen exposure with flexible packaging developed for products that can oxidize, lose aroma, change color or decline in quality during storage.

Choose a clear, metallized or foil barrier structure, then match it with the pouch format, filling process and closure required for your product.

Oxygen Barrier Packaging Options

The oxygen barrier can stay transparent or move to a metallized or foil structure depending on the protection target and shelf appearance.

Product visibility

Clear Oxygen-Barrier Pouches

For products that need visibility while requiring stronger oxygen control than a standard clear laminate.

Metallic appearance

Metallized Oxygen-Barrier Pouches

A common option for stronger oxygen barrier and a metallic or opaque appearance.

Strong opaque barrier

Foil Oxygen-Barrier Pouches

For highly sensitive products where a very strong opaque oxygen barrier is justified.

For automated lines

Oxygen-Barrier Roll Stock

For compatible filling lines that need a specified oxygen-barrier web and reliable heat sealing.

Product applications

Oxygen Barrier Pouches for Coffee, Nuts, Oils & Supplements

Oxygen-sensitive products often need barrier protection long before the package shows any visible damage.

01

Coffee & Roasted Products

Helps limit oxidation and aroma loss during storage.

02

Nuts, Seeds & Fat-Containing Foods

Helps reduce oxidative flavor changes in oil-rich products.

03

Oils, Spices & Specialty Foods

Can support flavor and aroma retention where oxygen sensitivity is high.

04

Supplements & Botanicals

Useful for formulations where oxygen exposure can affect stability, color or sensory quality.

Filling & sealing

Oxygen Barrier Packaging for Filling & Sealing Processes

The film controls oxygen entering through the pouch wall, but oxygen already inside the pack and leaks around the closure also affect the result.

01

Headspace

More trapped air means more oxygen is present inside the package from the start.

02

Gas-Flushed Products

Where the customer uses nitrogen or another gas-flush process, the pouch structure and seals should support that packing method.

03

Degassing Valves

Coffee projects may combine oxygen barrier with a one-way valve where product degassing requires it.

04

Seal Integrity

The top seal and pouch edges should remain consistent after filling and distribution.

Barrier metric

OTR
Lower OTR
Higher OTR

Use OTR as a comparison point only when the test conditions and material structure are clearly stated.

OTR for Oxygen Barrier Packaging

Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) measures the rate of oxygen passing through a film or laminate under defined conditions. Lower OTR generally indicates stronger oxygen-barrier performance.

01

Compare the Same Conditions

Temperature, humidity and test method can change results.

02

Check the Complete Structure

The OTR of one layer does not automatically describe the finished pouch.

03

Match the Product

Choose an OTR option from the product and shelf-life requirement, not simply the lowest available value.
