Every Layer Has a Job
Instead of just listing film abbreviations, here's what each structure actually does for your product on the shelf.
Full Light & Oxygen Barrier
Aluminium foil can provide a strong barrier to light and gases in a properly designed laminate. Whether a foil structure is suitable for coffee depends on the product, pack design, filling process, and storage conditions.
High-Gloss Shelf Impact
BOPP is one substrate option where clarity, gloss, or stiffness are desired. The suitable structure depends on print, sealing, product, and packaging-line requirements.
Seal Strength & Puncture Resistance
The PE inner layer provides a reliable heat seal, while PET adds mechanical strength — a cost-effective structure for detergent sachets and household products that need to survive rough handling.
Mono-material Structure
Using a single polymer family instead of mixed materials can help align a structure with PE or PP recycling streams where those materials are accepted. Actual recyclability depends on the finished pack and local collection and processing options.
Bonded, Not Just Stacked
Lamination bonds compatible film layers using an adhesive system selected for the structure and intended use. Specify any odour, food-contact, regulatory, or other application requirements so the proposed materials and process can be reviewed.
