Engineering Insights

Advantage

Flexibility & Toughness

Prevents package breakage when products are dropped or impacted.

Advantage

Enhanced Peel Strength

Increases lamination integrity and prevents delamination.

Advantage

Impermeability

Prevents air entry, making it ideal for oxygen-sensitive items.

Limitation

Hygroscopic Nature

Prone to absorbing moisture, which can lead to wrinkling if not dried properly.

Limitation

Bow Effect

Unique shrinkage defect requiring precise tension control.

Practical Usages

Vacuum Packaging

Standard choice for meat and seafood vacuum pouches.

Heavy-Duty

Used in structures for liquids and detergents (NY/PE).
