Flow Pack Film for Food Products

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.

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.
