We stock the 7-layer +7F thermoshrinkable shrink bag, a high performance barrier film manufactured from virgin, food contact approved polymers. The 7-layer EVOH construction delivers excellent oxygen and water vapor barrier properties, protecting product aroma, color, and shelf life. The bags achieve very high free shrinkability and form a tight, clean appearance around the product after heat treatment.
We stock two configurations: standard shrink bags for boneless whole muscle products, and bone guard bags for bone in products or any application where additional puncture resistance is required.
Our standard shrink bags are made for boneless products of every kind, from whole muscle cuts, boneless hams, roasts, turkey breasts, and pork loins to salami, sausage, hot dogs, deli meats, fish, and non maturing cheese. The film shrinks tight around the product for a clean, professional finish, and its excellent transparency shows the product clearly at retail.
Reinforced bags for bone in products or products with sharp edges, cartilage, or other puncture risks. The additional protective layer resists puncture from exposed bone points that would compromise a standard bag. Designed for bone in hams, bone in pork shoulders, spare ribs, and other products where additional puncture protection is needed.
Use a standard shrink bag for boneless products, and a bone guard bag for bone in products or any product with sharp edges that could puncture a standard bag.

The +7F shrink bag is available in four seal configurations. After loading, the open end is heat sealed on a vacuum chamber machine to remove air, and the bag is then heat shrunk in hot water or steam to conform tightly around the product. Choose the configuration that best suits your stuffing equipment and product handling requirements.
