Layered films that put the gloss on point of sale

05-Dec-2011

Austrian film producer Mondi Napiag has commissioned a blown film extruder that enables the production of films with up to 14 layers with ethylene vinyl alcohol and polyamide as barrier material. The films are for use in food packaging.

"This new extruder enables us to meet the individual requirements of our customers and to offer them attractive films that give better differentiation at the product's point-of-sale," said Günter Leitner, md of Mondi Napiag.

Tests have shown that the new film has considerably higher gloss and transparency than many other films. The film also features increased puncture and tear resistance, which leads to an increased protection of sharp- edged food, such as bread rolls or bacon.

The novel seven- or 14-layer high-barrier films also provide good aroma protection and an extended shelf-life.
