It also addresses several issues, including the poor runability of laminate on Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) machines and contamination.
Developed after more than a year of research and development, the film features low seal initiation temperature (SIT), high and broad hot tack strength, and a high-quality hermeticity seal.
According to Uflex, it can be used in several applications, including snack, condiment and over-the-mountain (OTM) packaging.
