OXBTEC Recyclable Barrier Shrink Film

We are proud suppliers of the outstanding OXBTEC polyolefin barrier shrink film from Bollore. OXBTEC polyolefin is dedicated specifically to the food processing industry, created to meet the exacting demands of this market. This barrier shrink film is a modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) overwrapping solution.

OXBTEC is formulated with barrier and anti-fog properties, making it ideal for the packaging of fresh food product units. Its use has been shown to preserve poultry products for longer, significantly extending the shelf life of whole chickens from 7 days up to 14 days. This is critical to reduce food waste attributed to spoiling or expiration, which is of course a major global concern. This popular film is unique to YPS in the UK and is also ideal for applications where hygiene is of high importance.

Furthermore, OXBTEC offers high impact and puncture resistance, reducing the potential for damage and product loss, which is critical when packaging fresh meat and poultry in order to prevent contamination risks. To complement this, it’s completely water-resistant and ensures hermetic leak-proof seals are formed.

Due to its high anti-fog capacity, OXBTEC provides outstanding optical properties. It also shrinks tightly around the product without wrinkles, delivering superior presentation and finish.

Enjoy long roll lengths for maximum yield and also optimum shrinkage, consistency and reliability, as well as complete BRC approval.

Our extensive film warehouse enables us to store full food-contact approved polyolefin materials for fast delivery across the UK, alongside a convenient call-off order system which is ideal for companies supplying seasonal goods like seafood. Each and every roll of film comes with BRC approval from manufacture right through to distribution as well as full traceability. We're happy to supply complimentary samples of any specification of wrap and we can conduct extensive trials with your products on our equipment to demonstrate the YPS difference. Plus, you can utilise our OPRL approved labelling permissions to clearly market the recyclability of your packaging to your customers.
