Innovative barrier solutions significantly boost the value of a packaging solution. Food packaging isn’t just an attractive way of wrapping a product – it’s the key factor for getting the filled contents from the filling plant to the consumer in the highest quality. Barrier solutions are highly advantageous for contents that require an especially high level of protection against external influences.
Did you know that there are many different barrier options?
Barriers against oxygen migration or mutual migration (from inside and outside): Oxygen damage to the product does not just come from outside. Even the oxygen trapped during packaging can greatly affect the product. Products are often packaged under a nitrogen atmosphere to prevent this effect.
Barriers against loss of aroma
Barriers against light: Dark materials are injected in the form of layers, such as for butter tubs (butter is broken down by UV rays, so a normal “light-colored” tub does not offer enough protection).

Different packaging materials have different levels of impact on the climate. Read our free “Tough Choices” white paper to find out which packaging solution delivers the best results for our climate.
Modern consumer demands for longer product shelf lives without preservatives – while providing good product protection – are increasing. By placing a great deal of value on having a wide range of offerings of plastic packaging for different target groups, we have succeeded in driving a variety of different barrier technologies forward.

Greiner Packaging can proudly call itself the world market leader when it comes to inert barrier technology. A layer of silicon oxide ensures a longer shelf life, sealed aroma and maximum transparency.
MBT Thermoforming
Seven layers serve to increase the oxygen barrier of cups and tubs. MBT Thermoforming is primarily used for large volumes.
MBT Co-Injection
A special barrier layer, such as EVOH or PA, is embedded within a standard plastic to increase the oxygen barrier of the packaging. MBT can be applied to any kind of injection-molded packaging.
MBT Kavoblow
MBT Kavoblow combines barrier properties with high transparency and heat resistance. It therefore proves to be a great alternative to glass, cans, and aluminum packaging.
MBT IML
Combined with a barrier, labels support the protective properties of the cup. The barrier label is composed of the three layers PP/EVOH/PP and can be adjusted individually, based on the individual requirements of the customer.
Some foods like nuts need extra protection. This packaging solution offers protection by means of an EVOH barrier layer.
