Products
These high performance packaging films include recyclable PE and PP film structures designed for demanding packaging requirements. The portfolio covers All-in-One solutions, MDO-PE films, and retort applications for brands that need performance, processability, and sustainability support. PSG helps customers evaluate suitable film options for product structure, application needs, and converting requirements. Whether the target is mono-material design, high barrier performance, or improved packaging efficiency, POLIFILM solutions support practical development pathways for flexible packaging.
High Performance Packaging Films for Flexible Packaging
ALL-IN-ONE PE & PP FILM
Mono-material films (either PE or PP) that combine print, barrier, and sealing layers into one structure. Eliminating the need for complex laminates.
BEST USED FOR:
- Snack pouches, dry food packaging, household products
- Digital or flexographic printing applications
- Fully recyclable packaging structures
KEY BENEFITS:
- One film, multiple functions
- Suitable for high-speed converting and filling
- Reduced production steps and cost-saving
High Performance Packaging Films for Recyclable PE and PP Structures
THE CHALLENGE OF TRANSITIONING TO MONO-MATERIAL PACKAGING
MDO-PE FILM
PE film enhanced through mono-directional orientation, improving clarity, stiffness, and barrier performance. A sustainable alternative to PET and OPP films.
BEST USED FOR:
- Stand-up pouches, food sachets, Frozen food
- Labels, overwraps, and flexible packaging for premium goods
- Form-fill-seal packaging systems
KEY BENEFITS:
- Excellent oxygen barrier (with EVOH)
- High print quality (gravure, flexo, digital)
- 100% recyclable mono-material solution
THE SCIENCE OF STRENGTH HOW MDO TECHNOLOGY UNLOCKS PERFORMANCE
MDO (Machine Direction Orientation) is a process that stretches the film in a single direction (mono-axially).
This reorients the polymer molecules from a tangled state into a highly aligned structure, fundamentally changing the film’s properties.
- Increases stiffness and strength (High Stiffness).
- Enhances optical properties (Transparency and Gloss).
- Improves printability.
- Boosts inherent barrier properties against oxygen.
RETORT PP FILM
A specially engineered PP film system for packaging that requires sterilization or high-heat treatment, such as retort processing.
BEST USED FOR:
- Ready meals, soup pouches, microwaveable packaging
- Long shelf-life food products
- Applications requiring high thermal resistance
- Processed foods that require pasteurization or retort processing
KEY BENEFITS:
- Thermal stability during retort
- Complete mono-material PP structure (base + barrier + seal)
- Designed for recycling without sacrificing protection
