Bags with technical holes: for longer freshness
Freshness retention is a critical quality factor for food products and “live” goods. It would seem that such a minor detail as holes in a bag significantly extends the shelf life of products by providing the necessary air exchange.
What are technical holes in a bag, and why are they needed?
Technical holes are small perforations that control air exchange inside the package. They help remove excess moisture and condensation, prevent mould growth, and maintain the attractive appearance of the product on the shelf.
Which products require technical holes
Baked goods
Technical holes prevent condensation, which can cause steaming and mould.
Greens, vegetables, and salads
Ventilated packaging keeps greens and vegetables fresh, preventing them from rotting.
Flowers
Ventilation prevents both cut flowers and potted flowers from rotting.
Cheeses, cereals, and spices
Moisture is reduced, and unwanted odours are eliminated.
Other products
Animal feed, organic products, and granules are all better stored in packaging with holes.
Hole-making technology: hot and cold perforation
Hot perforation
Holes with a diameter of 1 mm are made with a hot needle, ensuring fast production with high precision and uniformity.
Cold perforation (macroperforation)
Larger holes (4–5 mm) are used, ideal for products that require increased air exchange.
