With the explosive growth of consumer markets, flexible packaging films is now the essential choice of brands since they are lightweight, resilient, and sustainable. As a professional water-based ink printing enterprise, Zhongjia Printing realizes that material selection is quite pivotal to grasp the different needs of the market. This guide will embrace a thorough examination of standard flexible packaging film types, application environments, and maximizing brand sustainability and competitiveness in the market by choosing the best partners.
Common Types of Flexible Packaging Films
Polyethylene (PE) film
Highly flexible, moisture-proof, and low cost, it is divided into low-density (LDPE) and high-density (HDPE), the former has good ductility, and the latter has higher hardness.
Application scenarios: Food packaging (such as snack bags and frozen food bags) and daily necessities packaging, which are popular for their excellent sealing properties.
Sustainability: Recyclable PE film helps brands reduce their environmental footprint.
Polypropylene (PP) film
High transparency, high temperature resistance, and strong chemical stability, suitable for high-speed printing.
Application scenarios: microwave food packaging, pharmaceutical blister packaging, and stand-up pouches (such as dried fruits and milk powder).
Compatibility with water-based inks: The smooth surface can perfectly present the bright colors of environmentally friendly water-based inks.
Polyester (PET) film
High tensile strength, good transparency, and excellent gas and odor barrier properties.
Application scenarios: coffee bags, pet food packaging, and electronic product protection.
Brand advantage: High gloss surface with water-based ink printing can greatly improve shelf appeal.
Nylon (PA) film
Punch resistance, strong oxygen barrier, and adaptable to extreme temperature environments.
Application scenarios: vacuum meat packaging, medical device packaging, and heavy industrial packaging.
Aluminum Foil Composite Material
A multi-layer structure (aluminum foil + polymer material) provides top light, oxygen, and moisture barrier properties.
Application scenarios: high-end coffee, pharmaceuticals, and electronic products with strict shelf life requirements.
The Key to Material Selection: balance between functionality and sustainability
Selecting flexible packaging films requires comprehensive consideration of the following factors:
- Barrier requirements: moisture, oxygen, or UV protection?
- Printing suitability: Does it support environmentally friendly water-based inks to achieve non-toxic, high-definition brand design?
- Recycling: Is it recyclable or degradable, in line with circular economy goals?
Water-based Ink Printing: the sustainable future of flexible packaging
Traditional solvent-based inks have health and environmental risks due to VOC emissions, while water-based ink printing technology has significant advantages:
- Zero VOC emissions: Meets food contact safety standards and simpler recycling processes.
- Color expression: Achieve bright and lasting brand logos without sacrificing printing quality.
- Regulatory compliance: Meet global environmental regulations such as FDA and EU REACH.
