An Ultimate Guide to BOPET Films in Food and Medicine Packaging

Jan. 06, 2023

BOPET films offer superior protection and durability, making them ideal for various applications. Created through stretching, heating, and cooling, BOPET films are much stronger and more durable than traditional plastic. These films are beneficial for packaging items that need to retain flavor, bento boxes, and semiconductors. BOPET films also offer protection from static and provide excellent protection for food and medicine packaging. With their superior durability and safety, BOPET films are the perfect solution for the packaging needs of the food and medicine packaging industry. This article will provide insight into BOPET film, issues facing the packaging industry, and how the HENGLI Group has solved these issues, resulting in a safe, durable, environmentally friendly solution.


What is BOPET High-Barrier Film?

BOPET high-barrier film is a polyester film that offers excellent oxygen and moisture protection. It is a multilayer film consisting of a base layer of BOPET and a barrier layer of EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol), which makes it highly resistant to gas and moisture penetration. BOPET high-barrier film is often used in food and beverage packaging, medical device packaging, and other applications that require a robust barrier against oxygen and moisture.


Problems with Food and Medicine Packaging

There are several things that could be improved with food and medicine packaging currently.  

1. Oxygen-Barrier

Of all packaging concerns, one of the most critical is the need for protective barrier films such as BOPET, high-barrier, and oxygen-barrier films. These films protect the product from contamination and spoilage. However, some films on the market need help to meet the barrier requirements of food and medicine packaging.

2. Coating

As oxygen resistant as BOPET films, they still have a shortage – translucent and low adhesion. For some food and medicine that should be stored in the shade, merely common BOPET films cannot stop the light emitting. Therefore, it should compound with an aluminum foil. However, although gone through corona treatment, the common BOPET films may gradually fail to adhere to the aluminum film during the passing time, especially in humid environments.


HENGLI Solves Packaging Challenges for Food and Medicines

BOPET film is an ideal solution for the packaging challenges faced by the food and medicine industries. HENGLI's BOPET film is renowned for its exceptional features, such as high tensile strength, impact strength, bending resistance, surface gloss and transparency, heat resistance up to 210°C, good thermal stability, and non-toxicity.

Its oxygen barrier film properties make it the perfect choice for food and medicine packaging, as it helps to keep products fresh and safe. Moreover, its high-barrier film prevents moisture, oxygen, and other gases from entering the package, thus ensuring the product's longevity.

Additionally, BOPET film offers good oxygen permeability, moisture resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and convenient recycling capabilities. All these features make this film an excellent choice for the food and medicine industries, where packaging needs to be safe and secure while maintaining the quality of its contents.

HENGLI ensures these requirements are met, making it the go-to food and medicine packaging choice.
