Flexible food packaging
Applications and benefits
Typical flexible food packaging applications include films to package food products like cheeses, meats, breads and vegetables. Films can be laminated or nonlaminated and can withstand tough environments like freezers.
- High performance levels of impact strength, tear strength and flex-crack resistance
- Excellent sealing properties
- Outstanding optical properties (gloss, haze and transparency)
- Improved film output and film downgauging
Full polyethylene (PE) laminated solutions for sustainable packaging
Stand up pouches (SUP) can now be made using up to 30% recycled material from full PE laminated pouches and ExxonMobil’s performance polyethylene (PE) polymers.
