Materials
Metallized Film: Metallized PET, BOPP and CPP for Packaging
Metallized film has a thin vacuum-deposited aluminum layer that improves barrier and adds a foil-like look. See process, optical density, uses and limits.
Performance
Moisture Barrier Packaging: Protecting Dry and Moist Products
Moisture barrier packaging keeps dry products crisp and moist products fresh. See how to match film structures, desiccants and seals to the product and climate.
Sustainability
Mono-PP Packaging: Polypropylene-Based Structures
Mono-PP packaging uses a PP-dominant structure. Check outer and sealant grades, cold-use and retort evidence, barrier, and recycling-stream compatibility.
Materials
Nylon Packaging Film: BOPA and Cast PA Explained
Nylon packaging film gives puncture and flex-crack resistance with moderate oxygen barrier. See BOPA vs cast PA, humidity effects, uses and structures.
