Flexible Packaging for Cheese & Dairy

Standard and High Barrier Protection

Our forming, non-forming, and vertical form-fill-seal films offer standard and high-barrier protection to meet the oxygen and moisture transmission requirements (OTR and MVTR) of cheese and dairy products. High-barrier films support applications where shelf life is critical, while standard or medium-barrier options may suit products with shorter distribution cycles.

Variety to Fit Your Needs

With a variety of solutions for both VFFS and HFFS applications, our packaging is suitable for a variety of cheese products, including squares, wheels, slabs, hot fill processed, shredded, novelty, natural chunk, cheese sticks, and more.

Shredded and Cubed Cheese

From food service to consumer packaging, our films and laminations are engineered with ultimate protection and machinability in mind for shredded and cubed cheeses. Whether you need high or standard barrier properties, ABX can meet your needs. ABX vertical form fill and seal solutions are available in a variety of options and thicknesses as well as in fin or lap seal.

Our high barrier film provides a high gloss finish and is available with either low seal, lock seal or peelable sealants. ABX’s robust films provide excellent OTR and MVTR barrier properties for extended shelf life.

Liquid Cheese

ABX liquid cheese films are available in standard or high barrier configurations and either fin or lap seal options.

Case Study: Blue Bell Creameries

ABX worked with Blue Bell Creameries to deliver high-quality flexographic packaging while supporting the demands of its ice cream novelty production lines.

The Problem:

ABX was a supplier of much of Blue Bell’s frozen ice cream novelties packaged in films, but not all of the products. Blue Bell desired a single supplier for their frozen novelty lines that utilized film packaging—ABX. But first, ABX needed to match the former supplier’s capabilities without sacrificing quality, or without interrupting fast-paced production lines for one of the country’s top ice cream manufacturers.

The Solution:

ABX mobilized its experienced technical team and collaborated closely with the Blue Bell marketing and production team. The close partnership allowed both sides to create design solutions that were flexo-printing friendly. Read about the results on our case study.

“Blue Bell Creameries was looking for a film converter to deliver roto-gravure quality at flexographic pricing. ABX delivered. Their team worked really well with our marketing and production teams to get the best package for Blue Bell.”
