Roll Film Packaging
What Is Roll Film?
Roll film is a customized printed film structure, wound on a roll, which can be made from different laminated materials such as BOPP/VMOPP/CPP, PET/PE, PET/AL/PE, NY/PE, MDOPE/PE, or recyclable PE mono-material.
During packaging, the machine automatically forms the film into pouches, fills the product, and seals it—completing the entire process in one continuous workflow.
Roll film can be printed in up to 10 colors, supports glossy, matte, or mixed finishes, and can be engineered for high-barrier needs, transparency, puncture resistance, or heat resistance.
What Products Is Roll Film Suitable For?
Roll film is widely used across multiple industries because it can adapt to different materials and barrier requirements. It is commonly used for:
* Snacks & chips
* Pet food & pet treats
* Coffee powder & coffee beans
* Powder products (protein powder, instant drink mix, spices)
* Frozen food
* Liquid & paste products (sauces, soups, jelly, yogurt)
* Daily-use products (detergent pods, dry wipes)
Its versatility makes roll film suitable for both food and non-food products.
Which Packaging Types Can Use Roll Film?
Roll film is designed exclusively for automatic form-fill-seal (FFS) machines, such as:
* Vertical Form-Fill-Seal (VFFS) machines
* Horizontal Form-Fill-Seal (HFFS) machines
* Stick pack and sachet packaging machines
* Pillow bag machines
* Multi-lane packaging systems
Because these machines require continuous film to form the packaging, roll film cannot be used for manual packing and is not suitable for small workshops that rely on hand sealing.
If your production requires speed, consistency, and high output, roll film is the ideal choice.
