Can high-temperature steaming bags replace plastic wrap?

High temperature steaming bags can replace cling film to a certain extent, but whether they are suitable depends on the usage scenario and requirements.

High temperature steaming bags and cling films differ in material and performance. High temperature cooking bags are usually made of materials that are resistant to high temperatures, such as polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), polyamide (PA), etc. These materials can withstand high temperature cooking and have excellent barrier properties and chemical resistance. And cling film is mainly made of materials such as polyethylene (PE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Although it can also be used for food packaging, its high temperature resistance and barrier properties are relatively weak.

The advantages of high-temperature steaming bags are more obvious in scenarios where high temperature steaming or long-term preservation of food is required. It can effectively prevent food from coming into contact with oxygen and water vapor, extending the shelf life of food. At the same time, high-temperature steaming bags can also withstand the high-temperature steaming process, maintaining the taste and nutritional value of food.

However, in some daily preservation or short-term storage scenarios, cling film is still a convenient and economical choice. Plastic wrap has the characteristics of being lightweight, easy to stick, and highly transparent. It can be used to wrap fresh meat, vegetables, fruits, and other foods, isolating the air to achieve freshness preservation. In addition, cling film can also be used to make simple food covers and prevent food from splashing out during microwave heating.

Therefore, as a manufacturer of steaming bags, Jiangsu Gengda Packaging Co., Ltd. produces high-temperature steaming bags and cling films with their own applicable scenarios and advantages. When choosing, one should determine which packaging material is more suitable based on specific needs and scenarios. If food needs to be stored for a long time or subjected to high-temperature cooking, high-temperature cooking bags are a better choice; If it is only for daily preservation or short-term storage, plastic wrap is more convenient and economical.
