FLEXIBLE PACKAGING
mechanism in its manufacture ensures consistency in barrier properties and far less pinhole density than aluminum foils , making it less susceptible to gas and water vapor leakages . In addition , it generates less scrap during production . These attributes give the new BOPET film a robust competitive edge making it suitable for flexible packaging applications dominated by a laminate comprising of aluminum foil .
The Measure of Quality .
z From 4-ply to a more straightforward 3-ply laminate structure
F-UHB-M offers multiple benefits ranging from cost-efficiency , a higher sustainability quotient , and efficient use in logistics and eCommerce . For example , one of the biggest challenges that the packaging film industry faces today is reducing food wastage through enhanced shelf-life of food products and reducing packaging material consumption through laminate rationalization .
The F-UHB-M laminate can help the converting industry move from a ‘ difficult to recycle 4-ply laminate structure with aluminum foil ’ to a ‘ much simpler , easily recyclable 3-ply laminate structure . Moreover , it can be done without compromising barrier performance , thus helping the customer achieve reduced laminate weight and lower cost with a minimized carbon footprint .
While the new high barrier film ’ s protective oxygen and moisture barrier help lock in the flavor and aroma of food products for longer than products packaged in aluminum foils , the high metal bond strength ensures against delamination . This makes the laminate more secure and the product safer while retaining its quality . These advantages can help eCommerce logistics over long distances without damaging consumer food products .
The materials cost of F-UHB-M is less impacted by price fluctuations than aluminum foil , allowing better cost forecasting . Thus , with a better yield per unit area , F-UHB-M will likely prove to be a highly cost-effective film .
The FDA-compliant film also suits applications in medical packaging , dried and powdered items such as dried meats , coffee , yeast , snacks , and nuts . In addition , Flex ’ s new film can work for energy drinks packaging , vacuum insulated panels , bag-in-box , and several other applications .
Talking about the benefits of the new film , Vijay Yadav , Business head , Flexfilms USA , said , “ While developing the high barrier F-UHB-M , priority was given to upscale the barrier properties matching that of aluminum foil to deliver the best packaging experience to our customers . In addition , our teams worked extensively on creating a high valueadded film with numerous benefits so that our converting partners gain from reduced manufacturing cost , better performance , and achieve economies of scale while going sustainable with their packaging , at the same time .”
Anantshree Chaturvedi , vice chairman and CEO , Flex Films , explains , “ We are in the business of offering solutions to challenges that packaging faces and those that complement evolving market needs . . . . . The F-UHB-M film provides the enhanced safety parameters , the fewer complexities that convertors want , and the greener packaging that consumers seek .” z

GTT Calculator
GTT VOLUME / SCREEN / PROFILE CALCULATOR
The GTT calculator demonstrates the ink transfer equivalent to a combination of the screen and the volume indicated . The key benefit of GTT is the consistent ink transfer and the ability to print higher cliché screens and details that would normally require up to 4 different conventional anilox engravings in LPI and L / cm .
