Market segments
Biaxially oriented film
Biaxially oriented film offers a product with enhanced tensile strength, clarity, and dimensional stability. The stretching process aligns the molecules in the film, creating a more uniform structure that provides better barrier properties and improved optical clarity. It can be made from a variety of plastic resins offering a broad range of characteristics which differentiate it from other films available.
Applications
- Food Packaging
- Labelling, Laminates
- Medical Packaging
- Agricultural Films

Shrink film
Shrink film is a type of packaging material that, when exposed to heat, shrinks tightly around the item or product it is covering. It is typically made from polyethylene (PE) or a combination of PE and other polymers. Shrink film is available in different thicknesses and can be transparent, coloured or printed depending on the specific application. It is widely used in packaging industries to wrap individual items, multipacks, or entire pallets. Shrink film offers several advantages for packaging applications. Firstly, it provides excellent product visibility, allowing consumers to see the product and its branding clearly. This makes it suitable for retail packaging, as it enhances product presentation and marketing.
Applications
- Food and beverages
- Cosmetics and personal care
- Electronics
- Stationary
- Pharmaceuticals
- Household products
- Collation shrink film
- Pallet Shrink Film

Stretch film
Stretch film is a type of flexible and elastic film used for wrapping and protecting goods during transportation and storage. This thin, transparent film is made mainly of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). It possesses the ability to stretch and return to its original shape, providing secure adhesion and protection for packaged items. The primary application of stretch film is related to packaging and transporting goods. When applied (wrapped) correctly, stretch film enables the stabilisation and safeguarding of cargo against damage, dust, moisture, and other external influences. Furthermore, wrapping with stretch film ensures that items on pallets or in packages remain securely held together, reducing the risk of shifting or falling during handling and transporting. Packages can be wrapped either by hand or machines.
Applications
- Logistics - warehousing distribution
- Food packaging
- Construction material packaging
- Conventional stretch film
- Pro-orientd film
