Types Of Flow Wrapping Materials

Types Of Flow Wrapping Materials

Automatic flow wrapping machines can work with several types of materials based on your product types and preferences. 

• Polyethylene (PE)

This is a popular option with features like clarity and flexibility for flow wrap packaging. However, it has two types: high-density polyethene (HDPE) and low-density polyethene (LDPE). Therefore, HDPE is best used for bulkier products, while LDPE can used to package textiles and vegetable items. 

• Polyester (PET)

Polyester (PET) is well known for its durability and transparency features. For this, it is often used to pack fresh-cut salads, vegetables, fruits, and more. Also, you can print high-quality graphics on the PET to promote your brand. 

• Metallized Film

This film is a reflective or metallic finish over plastics. It is used to increase barrier properties and give it an eye-catching look. Usually, this metalized film is used in food and snack packaging. 

• Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP)

Another strong, affordable material is biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP). This is well-known and widely used for its barrier capacity. Also, its glossy and attractive look attracts consumers easily. 

• Laminated Film

The laminated film consists of multiple layers of different materials, such as plastic film and aluminum foil. This way, it is a superior barrier against gases, moisture, light, and more. Not to mention that this laminated film is also popular for its appearance. 

• Cellophane

It is a compostable and biodegradable packaging material. Often, cellophane is used for flow wrapping materials for its unique appearance. Mainly, it is used to pack artisanal products, chocolates, gift baskets, and more.
