PET/EVOH/PE
PET/EVOH/PE Laminated Films for Oxygen-Barrier Food Packaging
Overview
PET Laminates with an EVOH Oxygen Barrier & PE Sealing Layer
AVI Global Plast supplies PET/EVOH/PE laminated films for food packaging requiring enhanced oxygen-barrier performance. The structure combines a PET base, an EVOH barrier component and a PE sealing layer for suitable meat, dairy, seafood, dates and confectionery applications.
Supported by integrated extrusion and lamination capabilities, these films offer easy-peel or lock-seal options for thermoforming and form-fill-seal processes. Select the specification around your product's oxygen sensitivity, packaging system, storage conditions and intended shelf life.
Structure
PET/EVOH/PE — three-layer structure
- PETOuter layer — clarity, stiffness and printability
- EVOHOxygen-barrier interlayer — extends shelf life beyond a PET/PE structure
- PEInner heat-seal layer — easy-peel or lock-seal, per order
Illustrative structure, not to scale. Per-layer thickness split is confirmed with AVI's team against the order's gauge and barrier requirement.
Material Fit
Is PET/EVOH/PE right for your process?
Oxygen-Sensitive Foods
For products requiring additional control of oxygen transmission through the packaging. Discuss the required barrier performance and intended storage period.
Meat, Seafood & Dairy Packaging
For applications requiring a suitable combination of barrier, forming and sealing properties. Specify the food type, filling conditions and distribution environment.
Dates, Dry Fruits & Confectionery
For products where oxygen and moisture exposure can affect quality. Discuss product sensitivity, presentation and sealing requirements.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging
For packs using a controlled gas mixture. Select the laminate alongside the product, gas composition, lidding material and shelf-life target.
Thermoforming & Form-Fill-Seal
For formed packaging requiring oxygen-barrier performance after conversion. Discuss draw depth, tooling and operating conditions.

Provides clarity, stiffness and a surface suited to appropriate printing and conversion processes.
EVOH Oxygen Barrier
Ethylene vinyl alcohol contributes oxygen-barrier performance. Select the construction against the required oxygen transmission rate and intended conditions of use.
PE Sealing Layer
Provides the heat-sealing surface, with easy-peel or lock-seal options matched to the intended lidding material.
Application-Specific Construction
Layer proportions and forming conditions influence the barrier performance of the finished pack. Discuss these alongside storage temperature, humidity and shelf-life requirements.
