Key Takeaways High barrier films slow the passage of oxygen, moisture, light, and aroma so your product stays fresh longer. Barrier performance is measured by OTR (oxygen) and MVTR/WVTR (moisture), where lower numbers mean a higher barrier. The right film depends on what your product is sensitive to, its target shelf life, and how it is filled and stored. Recyclable...
