Application and unique advantages of light blocking HIPS sheet in dairy product packaging

1️⃣ Extend the shelf life and maintain the nutrition of dairy products
Dairy products are rich in fat, protein, vitamin A and D, which are easily decomposed or oxidized under light. For example, ultraviolet rays can cause vitamin B2 (riboflavin) in dairy products to decompose, causing milk to deteriorate and produce odors. Light-shielding HIPS sheets can effectively block more than 99% of ultraviolet rays, significantly slowing down the degradation of nutrients and increasing the shelf life of dairy products.

2️⃣ Prevent changes in flavor and taste
Light not only affects the nutritional content of dairy products, but also changes their flavor and taste. For example, cheese is easily oxidized under light, producing a bitter or rancid taste (odor caused by fat oxidation). The light-shielding properties of HIPS sheets prevent this problem and ensure that consumers can enjoy fresh and delicious dairy products.

3️⃣ Suitable for a variety of dairy product packaging forms
Light-shielding HIPS sheets are widely used in various dairy product packaging, including but not limited to:

Cheese stick packaging: ensure that cheese sticks will not deteriorate due to light on supermarket shelves.

Yogurt cups, cream boxes: use HIPS cup body + aluminum foil sealing to provide double protection.

Milk bottle caps, cream sealing caps: Bottle caps made of HIPS sheets can reduce the contact of milk with light and further extend the shelf life.

4️⃣ Environmental sustainability
Some HIPS sheets can be added with recyclable materials or adopt bio-based formulas to reduce the impact on the environment. Compared with PVC or PETG, HIPS sheets have lower energy consumption in production and are easy to recycle, making them a packaging option that is in line with the trend of sustainable development.
