Environmentally Friendly Packaging
Our EarthFilm range offers compostable and recyclable alternatives to traditional plastics, designed to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging. These films maintain the durability and print quality of conventional materials while breaking down at end-of-life. Certified compostable options are available for lidding, pouches, and form-fill-seal applications, helping brands reduce their carbon footprint without compromising functionality.
Extended Shelf-Life Films
Laser-microperforated films with anti-mist properties extend the shelf-life of fresh produce by balancing gas exchange and moisture control. We conduct scientific testing to determine optimal perforation patterns for specific products, ensuring maximum freshness and reduced waste. These films are ideal for salads, herbs, fruits, and vegetables requiring prolonged shelf stability.
Ovenable Packaging
OvenFlex films withstand temperatures up to 225C, enabling safe cooking of food in conventional and microwave ovens. Certified by Smithers Pira, these high-definition printed films maintain integrity during high-temperature applications while ensuring food safety. They are suitable for ready meals, meats, and frozen products requiring direct oven-to-plate convenience.
Resealable Packaging
Resealable lidding films, pouches, and labels help reduce food waste by preserving freshness after opening. Features include grip seals for easy opening and resealable labels that maintain pack integrity. These solutions enhance portion control and convenience for snacks, ready meals, and perishable goods, aligning with WRAP's sustainability goals.
Barrier Films
High-performance barrier films control oxygen and moisture transmission to preserve sensitive products like coffee, nuts, and pharmaceuticals. Our recyclable multi-layer PET alternatives to aluminium laminates reduce environmental impact while maintaining product integrity. Customisable barrier properties ensure optimal protection for diverse food and non-food applications.
