To make informed decisions about a flexible packaging design and material, it’s important to consider technical specifications and performance characteristics.

Technical specifications describe physical properties such as thickness and strength, while performance characteristics describe how well the packaging material performs in different situations.

By understanding these details, you can compare and choose the best option for your product.

POLYETHYLENE (PE)

Is the most commonly used material in the production of plastic films and flexible packaging. It is a thermoplastic polymer known for its flexibility, durability, and resistance to moisture and chemicals.

NYLON (PA)

Is a versatile family of thermoplastic resins that vary from relatively flexible products to tough, strong, and stiff materials; resistant to oils and greases; widely used for meat and cheese packaging, for boil-in-bags and pouches.

ETHYLENE VINYL ALCOHOL (EVOH)

Is a copolymer that is used as a barrier layer in the production of plastic films and flexible packaging. It is known for its excellent barrier properties against gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.

ADHESIVES (SOLVENTLESS & WATER BASED)

Solventless laminating adhesives contain 100% actives and do not have water or solvent carriers. Water-based laminating adhesives use water as a carrier for their resins. These laminating adhesives are highly versatile and can be used to create strong bonds on a variety of materials.

BIAXIALLY ORIENTED NYLON (BON)

A type of polymer film made from nylon resin that has been subjected to biaxial orientation through a stretching process. The orientation enhances the film's mechanical properties such as tensile strength, puncture resistance, and barrier properties, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

WATER BASED INKS

Are inks that use water as the pigment carrier instead of carriers that contain harmful solvents, VOC's and other environmentally damaging chemicals. Water based inks are typically less expensive to process than their solvent based counterpart.
