This packaging film represents a significant step forward in materials, engineering, and property management. As compared to traditional film which is usually 5 or 7 layer with LDPE, polyamide, HDPE, EVOH, EVA and Ionomer, this film is advanced in the technology. Nine layer blown film capability was employed to precisely manage all aspects of the finished films, properties, and performance. With this approach, the film delivers the required flavor/oxygen barrier using market-leading thin barrier layers, plus best in class moisture barrier with good toughness. It provides easy opening and seals effectively — all at 10 percent less film thickness which reduces total packaging costs.
