Polyolefin film (POF film)isa true all-rounder in the packaging industry when it comes to shrink films. This fine-shrink film is the top choice for countless products that need to be packaged securely while also promoting sales. As a polymeric material, polyolefin consists mainly of polyethylene and polypropylene. These two base materials belong to the polyolefin family, which is popular for many applications due to its high chemical resistance and flexibility.
Polyolefin film is available in a wide range of thicknesses and types. Thanks to ongoing advancements in film technology, our films films are now thinner, reflecting the latest innovations. This allows for film packaging that uses less material—which is better for the environment and saves costs. In addition to its high shrinkability and the resulting protective function, polyolefin film is extremely robust and tear-resistant. The high transparency and clarity of films provide the end consumer with a perfect view of the product. The multilayer film material has excellent sealing and shrink properties. The processability of polyolefin film during packaging is also worth highlighting.
In addition, extra features make it suitable for use in almost any field:
- Antistatic finish (antistatic coating on both sides)
- Anti-fog feature: high or low glide value
- UV Protection
- Barrier Properties (Medium and High Barrier)
- Suitable for particularly high cycle rates
In addition to transparent films , we also offer opaque polyolefin films in black, white, and gray. Polyolefin films can be custom printed using high-tech 10-color gravure printing technologies. Micro- or macro-perforation, as well as hot-needle perforation, are also available.
Durability and protection in a thinner form
Polyolefin film is characterized by impressive durability—even in thin, material-saving gauges. It resists tears and punctures, making it the ideal choice for packaging products across all industries. Depending on the type, polyolefin film retains its flexibility even at low temperatures, which is particularly advantageous in the food industry: products stay fresh longer and maintain their quality throughout the entire transport route to the end consumer. The thin gauges, combined with high mechanical strength, allow for material-efficient use while delivering first-class packaging results—which lowers costs and reduces the likelihood of damage. Upon request, we supply our “ films ” in rolls of the appropriate length to avoid waste from excess material.
Applications: Food and Non-Food
Polyolefin film is ideal for packaging products in both the non-foodand food sectors. With the right equipment, fresh produce such as vegetables, meat, sausage, and cheese can be packaged in an attractive and durable manner. Sensitive products from the medical, cosmetic, or electronics sectors can also be packaged in a way that provides protection and meets specific requirements. Even at low temperatures, polyolefin film retains its flexibility, depending on the type and thickness.
Our product line is 100% food-safe and 100% recyclable in the LDPE04 recycling loop. Thanks to our large inventory and flexibility, we can also arrange short-notice deliveries when needed.
Polyolefin films containing PCR or PIR content are additional film products that, in addition to their many existing advantages, further advance environmental and sustainability goals. Are you familiar with our innovative eco-friendly polyolefin films— Circular E-PCR, Circular S-PCR, and Circular X-PCR? Highly transparent, brilliant, and featuring a certified PCR/PIR content (post-consumer recycled material/post-industrial recycled material), these films are revolutionizing the era of eco-friendly and sustainable packaging—in line with the circular economy.
