BOPP film for packs and cartons
Modern cigarette overwrap is a coextruded BOPP film, heat-sealable on both sides, with low sealing temperature for high-speed wrappers, excellent clarity and gloss, controlled slip and a good moisture barrier. We supply films of 18 to 25 µm for pack and carton wrapping in clear, pearlised white, matt and metallised versions, including grades with anti-counterfeit features.
PVC film
Some regional markets and some older wrappers still run PVC film. We supply PVC film in 20 to 40 µm for these applications and advise on switching to BOPP where equipment and regulations allow.
Reels for your wrapper
Reel width, outer diameter and core are matched to your wrapper or over-wrapper. Film can be supplied together with tear tape from compatible suppliers, so sealing temperature and tape adhesion are proven to work together before the first delivery.
