Description

Product Overview

Our PET/AL/PA/RCPP aluminum foil retort bags are 4‑layer composite barrier pouches built for industrial retort processing.
Aluminum foil layer fully blocks ultraviolet light, oxygen and moisture. It eliminates photo‑oxidation spoilage for food goods.
Suitable for autoclave high‑temperature sterilization, achieve long shelf‑life without refrigeration.

Material Structure Analysis

Structure:PET / AL (Aluminum Foil) / PA (Nylon) / RCPP (Retort‑grade Cast Polypropylene)


1. PET outer layer: Good surface stiffness, supports gravure printing, anti‑abrasion during logistics.
2. AL aluminum foil barrier layer: Core functional layer, near‑zero oxygen & light transmittance.
3. PA nylon middle layer: Boost puncture resistance, resist sharp food fragments piercing.
4. RCPP inner sealing layer: Retort‑resistant heat‑seal layer, stable under 121℃ high‑pressure cooking, no delamination.

Note: This 4‑layer aluminum foil structure cannot be transparent. If you need see‑through pouch, choose PA/RCPP transparent retort bags.

Core Product Advantages

  • Ultimate barrier performance: Aluminum foil isolates light, oxygen and moisture, greatly extend product shelf life.
  • Excellent mechanical property: Nylon layer improves tear‑proof & puncture‑proof performance, adapt to hard‑texture food with bone or shell.
  • Stable retort performance: RCPP inner layer resist high‑pressure steam, avoid delamination, seal burst after retort.
  • Customizable solution: Multiple sizes, thickness, printing artwork to match buyer’s packing line.

Typical Application Scenarios

Ready‑to‑eat cooked meat, braised food, poultry products, seafood, stewed dishes, high‑value pickled goods, military ration food, special‑condition long‑term preserved food.

Important Usage Notes

  1. Must match industrial high‑pressure retort kettle for 121℃ sterilization. Ordinary household boiling cannot reach sterilization requirement.
  2. Avoid sharp object scratch the bag surface before filling. Damaged aluminum foil will lose barrier function.
  3. Seal parameter need fine‑tune according to actual packing machine, prevent false seal.
  4. Cannot observe inner food status, if visual inspection is required, select transparent retort pouch solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between aluminum foil retort bag and transparent PA‑RCPP retort bag?

A: Aluminum foil type achieves ultra‑low oxygen & light transmission for longer shelf‑life, but non‑transparent. Transparent PA‑RCPP can view contents, barrier capability is weaker than aluminum foil version.

Q2: Can this bag handle 135℃ ultra‑high temperature retort?

A: Standard PET/AL/PA/RCPP fits 121℃. For 135℃ high‑retort requirement, material formula needs to be adjusted, please contact our sales team.

Q3: Is custom printing available?

A: Yes, gravure printing service is supported, MOQ depends on bag dimension.
