· White cavitated ultra low density film VL40 with low sealing threshold for ice cream flow wrap applications now available from the Polish site in Płock.
· Film was designed to perform on high-speed flow wrap machines of ice cream manufacturers in Europe and can be easily printed and sealed.
Innovia Films, a material science pioneer and major producer of BOPP films, has announced the launch of a white ultra low density film that was specifically engineered to be a good fit for ice cream flow wrap packaging.
“Nothing screams summer more than ice cream and we are proud to be able to offer our new VL40 white cavitated film that is an excellent partner for one of our favourite summer treats. A typical way to package ice cream is to use high-speed flow wrap packaging that preserves the quality of the product until consumption“, explains Alasdair McEwen, who heads up the European Packaging Division of Innovia.
The new
film grade was developed and successfully trialled and launched by the science
material experts at their Innovia Films site in Płock, Poland.
“Our film is a high-gloss white
coextruded OPP film with a very wide heat seal range. We made some significant
changes to our extrusion lines to be able to deliver this specific film grade
that is ideal for ice cream sandwiches and popsicles. The team did a great job
in a very short time“, comments Piotr Piasny, General Manager at Innovia Films
in Płock.
Amongst other features it offers a very high puncture resistance which is
important to preserve the valuable product and prevent food waste. The printability
of the product means you can achieve a superior graphic appeal, and the film
provides an easy-to-open package“.
The
films are largely unaffected by climatic conditions but should not be stored at
temperatures above 104°F (40°C). Under suitable storage conditions, the film
can be stored for a period of 6 months without any risk of deterioration.
The VL40 film is available from Innovia Films in Poland for testing now. Please contact packaging@innoviafilms.com if you are interested to initiate a trial or need more information.
