BOPP Film –Glossy, Strong & Food-Safe

       BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) is a glossy, high-strength material widely used in flexible packaging. Its clarity, printability, and heat-seal performance make it ideal for food, snacks, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

        At SF POUCH, we offer BOPP in custom thicknesses (9–65 microns), perfect for both lamination and direct printing.

High gloss & clarity
Strong tensile & tear resistance
Heat-sealable & food-grade
Ideal for lightweight, eco-conscious packaging

Role of BOPP in Laminations

Printability:

BOPP serves as the outer layer to provide a smooth surface for high-quality printing.

Clarity and Gloss:

Enhances the visual appeal of the packaging for better shelf presence.

Mechanical Strength:

Adds durability and puncture resistance to the laminate structure.

Cost Efficiency:

Lightweight and economical, making it a preferred material for lamination.

BOPP Film Laminations with Other Materials

BOPP film is often laminated with other materials to enhance its functionality, such as improving barrier properties, sealing performance, and durability. Below is a detailed explanation of common BOPP laminations and their roles in flexible packaging:

BOPP+PE (Polyethylene)

Structure:

Outer Layer: BOPP for clarity, strength, and printability.
Inner Layer: PE for heat-sealing and moisture resistance.

Applications:

Ideal for snack packaging, bakery items, and lightweight products requiring clear and glossy packaging.

Features:

Combines BOPP's excellent clarity and strength with PE's reliable sealing properties for versatile packaging solutions.

BOPP+CPP (Cast Polypropylene)

Structure:

Outer Layer: BOPP for printability and mechanical strength.
Inner Layer: CPP for superior heat-sealing properties and high-temperature resistance.

Applications:

Commonly used for food packaging like chips, dry fruits, and retort pouches.

Features:

Offers excellent heat resistance and sealing properties while maintaining strong barrier protection and durability.

BOPP+Aluminum Foil+PE

Structure:

Outer Layer: BOPP for gloss, printability, and mechanical durability.
Middle Layer: Aluminum Foil for maximum barrier protection against light, oxygen, and moisture.
Inner Layer: PE for sealing.

Applications:

Suitable for high-barrier requirements such as coffee, powdered milk, and pharmaceutical products.

Features:

Triple-layer structure provides superior barrier protection while maintaining excellent printability and sealability.

Metalized BOPP+PE

Structure:

Outer Layer: Metalized BOPP for enhanced barrier properties and reflective aesthetic.
Inner Layer: PE for sealing and additional moisture protection.

Applications:

Frequently used in snack packaging, chips, and confectionery items that require moderate barrier properties and visual appeal.

Features:

Combines metallic appearance with good barrier properties, offering both functional protection and premium aesthetic appeal.

BOPP+PET+PE

Structure:

Outer Layer: BOPP for strength and printability.
Middle Layer: PET for enhanced rigidity and additional barrier properties.
Inner Layer: PE for heat-sealing.

Applications:

Commonly used for snacks, frozen foods, and liquid pouches requiring strength and flexibility.

Features:

Triple-layer structure combines excellent printability with enhanced mechanical properties and reliable sealing performance.

BOPP+EVOH+PE

Structure:

Outer Layer: BOPP for strength and printability.
Middle Layer: EVOH for oxygen barrier enhancement.
Inner Layer: PE for heat-sealing and moisture resistance.

Applications:

Used for high-barrier packaging like sauces, processed foods, and aroma-sensitive products.

Features:

Combines excellent oxygen barrier properties with good printability and reliable sealing, ideal for oxygen-sensitive products.
