Popsicle packaging requires flexible, durable, and food-safe materials to maintain freshness, prevent leaks, and withstand freezing temperatures. The most common materials used for liquid-filled freeze-pop packaging include:
1. Plastic Film Packaging (Most Common)
- Polyethylene (PE) & Polypropylene (PP): Widely used for freeze pops and ice pops due to their flexibility, heat-seal compatibility, and food-grade safety.
- Multi-layer Plastic Films: Provide extra strength, puncture resistance, and barrier protection to prevent leaks.
2. Foil & Laminated Packaging
- Plastic-Aluminum Laminates: Offer higher protection against moisture and oxygen, extending shelf life.
- Metalized Films: Used for specialty frozen products requiring moisture and oxygen barrier protection.
3. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Packaging
- Recycled Polyethylene Films (rPE): Made from post-consumer recycled plastic, reducing plastic waste while maintaining durability and seal strength.
