Key Features of Flow Wrap Packaging

Our cost-effective flow packing films are designed to run efficiently on high-speed flow wrapping machines, such as Horizontal Form Fill Seal Machines (HFFS) and Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines (VFFS).

Our flow packing films can be perforated to meet Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) requirements, providing exceptional oxygen and moisture barriers. As a result, this makes the film on a reel ideal packaging material to maintain product quality and freshness throughout the supply chain, while catering to a wide range of packaging needs.
