NPP: Boneguard – Puncture resistant packaging

Is your packaging falling short on puncture resistance? We’ve got the solution!

Are you finding that your bags or pouches aren’t holding up to sharp edges, leading to leaks? Are you resorting to thicker, more expensive bags, yet still experiencing punctures and messes? If so, we’ve got the perfect solution for you! Introducing Boneguard—a cost-effective way to achieve optimal puncture resistance without the need for bulky, expensive packaging. Say goodbye to torn or leaking packages, and hello to thinner, more efficient bags that get the job done right.

The role of Boneguard in vacuum packaging

Vacuum packaging is a popular method for food storage that removes air from the package, preventing contamination and extending shelf life. However, products with sharp edges, such as bone-in meats, can puncture the packaging, leading to food waste, leaks, and increased labour costs.

This is where Boneguard steps in. Boneguard is a specialised material designed for maximum puncture resistance in food packaging. It’s applied as a protective sheet over the sharp edges of bone-in meats before sealing them in a vacuum bag or pouch, ensuring a durable, puncture-free seal.

What can Boneguard protect?

Boneguard is most commonly used with bone-in meats like pork ribs and T-bone steaks but is versatile enough to protect any food product with sharp edges. By using Boneguard, you can confidently store products without worrying about punctures, leaks, or waste.

Why choose Boneguard for puncture resistance?

Why simply opt for thicker bags when Boneguard offers a smarter solution? Increasing the overall thickness of your packaging leads to unnecessary material use and higher costs, especially in soft, non-threatening areas. With Boneguard, you can strategically reinforce only the areas at risk of puncture, allowing you to use thinner, more cost-effective bags without sacrificing durability.

Pairing Boneguard with vacuum packaging significantly reduces overall production costs. With its superior puncture resistance, Boneguard lowers the leaker rate, helping you save on packaging materials and protect your products from waste.
