Choosing the right baby food packaging materials is therefore critical, and the safety standards are far stricter than for adult food. Both Chinese national standards and international standards impose additional safety requirements and testing items for baby food packaging. Understanding these differences not only helps food companies produce compliantly, but is a basic safeguard for infant health.

High-Barrier Packaging Materials Explained: Which Products Need “High Barrier”

In the food packaging industry, high-barrier materials are the key technology for long-term food freshness. “High barrier” means the material has extremely high resistance to external factors such as oxygen, water vapor, aroma and light. Which products need high-barrier packaging? What types of high-barrier materials exist? High-barrier materials have extremely low oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) — typically OTR below 5 cm³/(m²·24h). This article answers these questions one by one.
