UFlex continues product innovation with a focus on sustainability

Packaging films business
The newly developed metallised polyester (F-ETB-M) film by the UFlex Packaging Films business addresses barrier requirements of various pouches and packaging applications while enabling easy-to-tear package properties from both directions.

The critical attributes of F-ETB-M include a special effect coated BOPET film, superior oxygen barrier, moisture barrier properties and a metal bond between the metal and the film.

The application areas of this film include; packaging items like mouth fresheners, tea sachets, confectionary items, biscuits, and multiple pharma and medical products. Such products require oxygen barriers for maintaining freshness and easy-to-tear packages for enhanced customer experience. 

This transparent BOPET film is suitable for pouches and for quick and convenient packaging applications. The film addresses the barrier requirements with an easy-tear property in MD and TD directions for products sensitive to oxygen, moisture, and atmospheric conditions.
