These are the films that have BOPP as the base material. Its unique attributes are:

1. These films have the density nearer to 0.90 g/m and hence it renders high yield at the same cost as compared to other films viz. polyester films
2. BOPP films have excellent gloss and high transparency that give it an excellent look and fine finish.
3. Other polyester films are not resistant to outside pollution whereas BOPP films act as good moisture resistant barrier and have tendency to resist pollution and harmful chemicals.
4. This film have spectrum of wide range and are easily available viz. Matte, Glossy, Silky matter etc.
5. Excellent clarity
6. Best dimensional stability and flatness
7. Low electro static charge
8. Acts as good barrier to water vapor
9. BOPP films exert good and optimum performance on high speeding printing
10. Apart from resistant to harmful chemicals and pollution, these films act as resistant to oils and grease
11. Good puncture and flex crack resistance over wide range of temperatures
12. Also BOPP films are not affected by the moisture and does not wrinkle or shrink with changes in the environment
13. They are recyclable

BOPP films have great benefits like:

BOPP films have wide range of applications

1. Grade F1 films are used for packing of food and their sealin
2. Standard BOPP films are used for electrical applications, printing and lamination
3. Text book covering
4. Other applications includes extrusion coating, flower packing, reverse printing and lamination
5. They are also used as adhesive tapes and pressure sensitive tapes
6. White and opaque colored film are used for general purposes like printing pouching, cable over wrap, strip packaging for cough drops and heat sealable BOPP films are used for general purpose and over wrapping.

However BOPP lamination films have certain draw backs viz.

In the world of packaging and labeling, BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) films have emerged as a versatile and sustainable solution. These films have found their way into a wide range of applications, from food packaging to industrial labeling, thanks to their unique properties and environmental benefits. BOPP films are typically transparent but can be customized to have various finishes, including matte, WHITE, and metallic.  This blog will delve deeper into BOPP films, exploring their characteristics, applications, and contributions to sustainability.

Versatility in Applications

Goto GT New Material to know more.

Flexible Packaging: BOPP films are widely used in flexible packaging due to their excellent barrier properties. They protect products from moisture, oxygen and UV radiation, extending the shelf life of perishable goods like snacks, bakery & confectionery items, ready to eat food, etc.

Lamination: BOPP films are used for laminating paper, board and other substrates, providing protection and enhancing visual appeal. They are widely used in the production of book covers, posters, high-quality brochures, etc.Overwrapping: BOPP films are used for overwrapping boxes and cartons. They provide a tamper-evident seal, protect the carton from moisture and enhance the packaging aesthetics.
Sustainability Benefits
Recyclability: BOPP films are recyclable, contributing to the reduction of plastic waste. Recycling facilities can process BOPP films alongside other plastic materials, diverting them from landfills.

Lightweight: BOPP films are lightweight, reducing the overall weight of packaging materials. This leads to lower consumption of plastic, lower transportation costs and a decreased carbon footprint.

Energy Efficiency: The production of BOPP films requires less energy compared to some other plastic materials. Additionally, advancements in manufacturing have led to increased energy efficiency in the production process.

Extended Shelf Life: By protecting products from environmental factors, BOPP films reduce food waste. This is especially crucial in the context of sustainability, as food waste generates significant greenhouse gas emissions.

Versatility: BOPP films' versatility enables them to replace less eco-friendly materials, such as aluminium foils and laminated structures that are difficult to recycle.

Conclusion

BOPP films have become an indispensable component of modern packaging and labeling solutions. Their versatility, barrier properties and sustainability benefits make them attractive for various industries. As the world continues to prioritise environmental sustainability, BOPP films are likely to play an increasingly important role in reducing waste and minimising the environmental impact of packaging materials.
