Abstract Packaging of frozen shrimp for export has gained importance. Code slips used for this are made of paper of thickness varying from 0.07 mm to 0.215 mm. Complaints from importers state that these code slips get mutilated while thawing blocks for reprocessing. A substitute material for code slips is badly needed, and a new product viz. polyester tracing sheet of thickness 150 gauge is recommended for this purpose. The new product was tested under certain conditions as per Indian Standard (IS:1060). This study gives comparative properties of paper code slips and polyester tracing sheet slips. Polyester tracing sheet was found to possess high bursting strength, tensible strength and nillcobb value. It is non-porous and does not lose its original property.
