Ready Meals & Wet Fill Packaging
ready mealsReady-to-fill 100% recyclable packaging · Film
Survive retort with an Ultra-High barrier over long shelf life, in a pack that can finally be recycled.
The challenge
Retort barrier or recyclability
Ambient meals need packaging that survives retort with a high barrier over long shelf life. Recyclable retort pouches barely exist.
Retort is punishing
Heat and pressure demand a pack that holds its barrier and seal through the process.
Long shelf life, high barrier
Ambient meals need months of protection from oxygen and moisture.
Recyclable retort is rare
Almost every retort pouch on shelf today is multilayer and non-recyclable.

Yes. Melodea's proprietary barrier combination, in its Ultra-High-Barrier variant, is built to hold its barrier and seal through retort, while staying a fully recyclable mono-material film.
The Ultra-High-Barrier structure is designed for the long ambient shelf life that ready meals need. We validate against your specific product and target.
Fast. We run a short discovery on your barrier, shelf life, and line, then fit you to an already-proven mono-material solution. Finished packs are typically ready in about a month.
