Oriented Polypropylene
Stiff with very high clarity. The go-to for crisp, self-adhesive retail bags where buyers want to see the product clearly.
Apparel, accessories and retail visibility packs.
Material guide
Which flexible packaging material fits your product?
A short, practical guide to the films and laminates we work with. If you are unsure, send your product details or your current packaging sample and we will recommend a structure.
Cast Polypropylene
Softer and more flexible than OPP, with reliable heat-seal behaviour. Often used on its own and as the sealant layer inside laminates.
Hanger and perforated bags, everyday food, lamination sealant.
Polyethylene
Flexible and tough with strong, consistent seals. A practical, cost-effective choice for high-volume everyday packaging.
Bakery, grocery, dry food and protective bags.
Polyester
Strong and dimensionally stable, and an excellent print carrier. Usually the outer layer in a laminate structure.
Outer layer of high-barrier pouches and roll stock.
High-Barrier Laminates
Multi-layer structures that combine a printable PET outer with a sealable PP inner for strong barrier against oxygen, moisture and aroma loss.
Coffee, supplements, premium snacks and pet food.
Aluminium Laminates
Adds the highest light and oxygen barrier. Chosen when shelf life and protection from light are critical.
Light- and oxygen-sensitive food and powders.
Biaxially Oriented PP (roll)
Stiff, clear roll-stock film tuned for machinability on automated lines.
VFFS/HFFS line input and flow-wrap.
Metalized PET (roll)
A metalized layer delivers high barrier at lower cost than full aluminium, often as an inner liner.
Barrier liners for confectionery and snacks.
Quick comparison
OPP vs CPP vs PET — which film for your product?
| Material | Clarity | Stiffness | Heat-seal | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OPP | Very high | High | Moderate | Retail apparel bags, crisp self-adhesive packs |
| CPP | High | Low (soft) | Excellent | Hanger bags, food packs, laminate sealant layer |
| PE | Medium | Low (flexible) | Very good | Bakery, grocery, high-volume everyday bags |
| PET+CPP | High | Medium | Excellent | Coffee, supplements, premium snack pouches |
| ALU laminate | Opaque | Medium | Excellent | Light- and oxygen-sensitive products |
Print & production
We print up to approximately 7-8 colors, with the method depending on the material. MOQ is not a single fixed number — it depends on the structure, number of colors and complexity, and is confirmed at the quote stage.
