types of films

print films

Print films are the packaging layer responsible for bringing your packaging design to life. Our digital printing process transfers crisp, high-definition imagery and text onto our print films. With our HP digital presses, the print layer is reverse printed on a 740 mm wide web, preventing your image quality from deteriorating over time. The combination of the print film, barrier film, and sealant film is transformed into the finished packaging product.

sealant films

Sealant films, also known as packaging laminates, protect your packaging’s image quality from fading and losing vibrancy while providing a protective layer. When applied to the print film layer, sealant film “seals” in the ink, preventing the inks from rubbing off and giving the pouch a greater degree of stiffness. Our solventless lamination process eliminates VOC emissions and creates a more eco-friendly package.

barrier films

Barrier films are essential in preserving product freshness, extending shelf life, and ensuring product enjoyment. This film layer prevents the passage of atmospheric gases, water vapor, and odour from entering or exiting the package. With high-barrier packaging, your product is protected from punctures and tears during transit and on and off the shelf. All our barrier films are FDA compliant for direct food contact.

choosing the right film for your brand

“We knew that the quality of the film was super important, as was the design and graphics. When choosing a supplier, we wanted to be sure that whichever company we chose could produce quality film with bold colours to represent the unique superfood ingredients.”
