Cryovac Portion-Pull Bag Preserves Food’s Freshness Until It’s Ready for Use

Using the easy-open technology of the Cryovac Grip & Tear bag, the Portion-Pull bag incorporates horizontal side seal tabs to allow consumers and foodservice operators to use only what they need without removing the entire product from its packaging.

22 Apr 2010 --- The Cryovac Portion-Pull bag is a new technology that allows a barrier bag to be removed from a product one strip at a time, keeping unused portions of the product fresh for longer.

Using the easy-open technology of the Cryovac Grip & Tear bag, the Portion-Pull bag incorporates horizontal side seal tabs to allow consumers and foodservice operators to use only what they need without removing the entire product from its packaging. The one-inchwide tabs let customers tear off the packaging as they consume the product. This keeps the unused portion of the product stored in the original packaging so it remains fresh until ready for use and reduces food waste due to product spoilage and discoloration.

For processors, all Cryovac Grip & Tear products, including Portion-Pull bags, require no new equipment investment and can be used with existing Cryovac rotary chamber vacuum systems. Because of the Portion-Pull bag’s toughness, it delivers superb performance under normal handling through distribution, making it ideal for use with a variety of non-abrasive applications, including processed meats and cheeses. Available in sizes ranging from 3 to 14 inches wide and 6 to 24 inches long, the new bag can be used with wedges and blocks of deli meats and cheeses ranging in size from 6 ounces to 20 pounds.
