What Film Structure Is Used For Vacuum Shrink Bags?

Jul 02, 2026

Vacuum shrink bags typically use multi-layer co-extruded structures, such as PA/PE or PA/EVOH/PE. These films combine Polyamide (PA) for puncture resistance and formability, Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) for extreme oxygen barriers, and Polyethylene (PE) for heat-sealing and moisture protection.Fuya Vacuum shrink bags main film material PA/PE and PA/EVOH/PE,the reason why we using as follow:

PA/PE and PA/EVOH/PE are advanced, multi-layer co-extruded plastic films used for flexible packaging. They balance structural strength and gas barrier properties, with PA/PE focusing on physical durability and PA/EVOH/PE providing maximum shelf life.

 

See the table below for better understanding

 

Feature

PA/PE

PA/EVOH/PE

Advantage

Mechanical durability and puncture resistance.

Superior gas (oxygen) and aroma barrier.

Main Material

PA provides toughness;

PE provides easy heat sealing.

EVOH blocks oxygen;

PA adds strength;

PE seals.

Impact

Standard, good for protecting against moisture loss.

Exceptional; extends shelf life by preventing oxidation.

Application

Frozen foods, bone-in meats, and vacuum transport packaging.

King crab, semi-finished baked goods, dairy, and pharmaceuticals.

 

Summarize

PA (Polyamide): Ensures structural integrity, offering high puncture resistance and thermal tolerance.

PE (Polyethylene): Provides the sealing layer and acts as a moisture barrier.

EVOH (Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol): Delivers superior oxygen and aroma barrier properties, crucial for extending product shelf life.

Fuya supplies high barrier shrink bags for meat, poultry, cheese and seafood packaging. EVOH and PA/PE co-extruded structures support oxygen barrier, shrink performance and puncture resistance.Send your product, packaging machine and shelf-life requirement. Fuya can recommend a suitable multilayer film structure.
