Flow Pack Film for Food Products
Flow pack films are used in conjunction with automated form, fill and seal machinery (HFFS or VFFS machines), where the machine creates a wrap around the product and then seals it.
Used in high-volume production environments for a wide range of products including both food and non-food items, they result in a low cost per product packaging solution.
The wide range of products that can be wrapped this way are accommodated by a wide range of different flow pack film specifications, so that the ideal material can be selected for your application.
Our flow pack films are available in a huge range of widths and thicknesses. You can also choose films with high barrier properties, freezer suitability, lighter weights, sustainable and recyclable material and printed designs.

Find out more about Flow Pack Film
Our team of packaging experts would love to hear from you – whether you’re looking for more information about this material, advice about other material options or seeking details on machinery choices.
Versatile film for ideal packaging
Used in high-speed packaging, flow pack processes are widespread, suiting an enormous range of applications. The ideal combination of machinery and materials can be specified for food and non-food products, resulting in an optimum finished pack.
Our flow pack films with high barrier properties are ideal for perishable goods, protecting your product throughout the supply chain from both solid and vapour contaminants and keeping the product fresh.
Shrinkable versions are available which, when used in conjunction with a heat shrink tunnel, will create a very tight pack around the product, if desired.
Most flow pack films are transparent and deliver excellent optics for an attractive shelf-ready pack. In addition, a printed film can deliver the final touch to present your product brilliantly.
For greener production
To meet sustainability goals, flow pack film can boast enhanced environmentally-friendly credentials.
Dependent on the formula selected, flow pack films can be:
- Fully recyclable to LDPE level 04, complying with widespread recycling schemes.
- Supplied with significant recycled content, contributing to a circular economy and reducing plastic tax obligations.
- Lighter in weight while offering the same strength and puncture resistance, for reduced overall plastic consumption.
The YPS Team can advise on which materials will help to fulfil your sustainability initiatives.
