A new technique uses DCI‐Platine coupled to gas chromatography in order to measure the transfer rate of organic vapours through packaging materials. Experimental results are presented for ethyl acetate vapour through two polymer films, a vegetable parchment paper, and a coated paperboard. The films allow vapour mass transfer even at low vapour feed concentrations (i.e. the concentration expected in the package) whereas the paper and, especially, the paperboard, need higher feed concentrations.
