In the 1980s we continued to create cutting edge flexible packaging. In 1983, Cook-in bags were introduced, which enabled meats and poultry to be shipped in the same package in which they are cooked. This eliminated secondary packaging and repackaging.

Cryovac® TBG boneguard bag was also introduced in the 1980s. This innovative material has boneguard protection built directly into the bag structure. It eliminates the extra step of applying boneguard cloth prior to vacuum packaging bone-in meat cuts such as ribs. New and more value added members of the TBG family have followed in the 1990s as we developed clear boneguard patch material.

In 1987 the first oxygen and aroma barrier shrink film, Cryovac® BDF, was produced. This product serves as an effective barrier in preventing transfer of aromas and flavors among products distributed, warehoused or displayed together.
