The composite film packaging structure

Laminated film packaging has a structure of different layers of plastic used as a bonding layer, barrier layer, welding layer depending on their role.

• Structural layer: the packaging layer ensures the necessary mechanical properties with ease of printing and often includes moisture resistance properties.
• Bonding layers: used to combine materials of different nature. These layers are usually thermoplastic (in extruded form) layers.
• Barrier layers: including PET, PA, AL, MCPP, MPET with the ability to block air and keep odors.
• Welding layers: usually a mixture of LLDPE and PE.

Materials used to create the composite film packaging structure include OPP, PA, CPP, PET,  MCPP, LLDPE, Al (aluminum), MPET films, etc. In which, OPP, PET, PA, CPP are film materials. printing, while CPP, LLDPE, Al (aluminum), MCPP, MPET are the film materials used for internal grafting.

Widely used  packaging  types of laminated films include:

• Packaging of 2-layer composite film: BOPP/PE; PET/PE; BOPP/PP; NY/PE
• 3-layer composite film packaging: BOPP(PET)/PET(M)/PE; BOPP(PET)/Al/PE;
• 4-layer composite film packaging: BOPP(PET)/PE/Al/PE; Paper/PE/Al/PE;
