Choosing the Right Film

Every product has different packaging requirements. Coffee needs protection from oxygen, frozen foods require moisture resistance, and snacks demand strong barrier properties to maintain freshness.

The right film helps preserve product quality, extend shelf life, and ensure your packaging performs throughout storage, transportation, and retail display.

PET (Polyester) offers excellent print quality, strength, and heat resistance, making it ideal for premium graphics and laminated packaging.

BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) is known for its clarity and moisture resistance, widely used for snacks, confectionery, and dry food packaging.

PE (Polyethylene) provides excellent sealing performance and flexibility, making it the preferred inner sealing layer for many pouch structures.

When maximum protection is required, aluminium foil delivers outstanding barriers against moisture, oxygen, and light—ideal for coffee, pharmaceuticals, and sensitive food products.

Offering strong barrier properties with a premium metallic appearance, metallized films are a cost-effective alternative to aluminium foil for many applications.

The best film depends on several factors: product type, required shelf life, moisture and oxygen barrier needs, filling process, storage conditions, desired finish (matte, gloss, or metallic), and sustainability goals.

Rather than choosing a single material, most stand-up pouches use a multilayer laminate that combines the strengths of different films to achieve the right balance of protection, printability, and durability.
