kp® Bar is our range of PET, PP, PS or PVC rigid films with an ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) layer making it an ideal oxygen barrier for keeping elements out, as well as keeping elements in that help preserve the taste, texture and appearance of fresh food. These exceptional high barrier rigid films certified by RecyClass block out environmental elements with a strong hermetic seal, even through contamination, preserving and extending the shelf life of fresh food.
The sustainability benefits of kp® Bar can qualify you for lower eco and national plastic taxes. In countries like France, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom where the incorporation of pre-consumer or post-consumer recycled content is incentivised, these exceptional high barrier rigid films certified by RecyClass have been supply-chain verified to ensure the safety, quality and traceability of our rigid films and validate that they are made with pre-consumer recycled PP. kp Bar® PET rigid film can contain up to 97% PCR with 34% coming from food trays and for PP it can contain 30% PCR.
Not only are these exceptional high barrier rigid films certified by RecyClass, but they are also easy to customise to ensure different gas barrier properties for your product’s specific needs. Create your own branded shelf appeal with colours or let the product be the star in a clear pack. And with the lock seal, peelable or reclosable options, you can create a pack that’s sure to drive customer demand.
Designed for high-speed packaging operations, kp Bar® will run on standard thermoforming or form, fill and seal machinery. It’s ideal for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and vacuum skin packaging (VSP) since it provides a strong hermetic seal which prevents contamination and reduces food waste.
For the perfect pair, bundle kp® Bar with kp FlexiLid® EH 145 R top lidding film for the best-case ready modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) from a single supplier.
