Materials Guide
Choosing the right resin is the first real decision in any film project. This guide breaks down the material families we work with most often, what each one is good at, and where each one falls short.
Polyethylene Films
LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, MDPE, and metallocene LLDPE: the commodity workhorses behind most blown film applications.
Polypropylene Films
BOPP, CPP, and OPP: oriented and cast polypropylene films valued for clarity, stiffness, and moisture barrier in labels, overwrap, and lamination structures.
Specialty & Barrier Films
EVOH, nylon, and metallized PET: high-barrier and high-strength materials used in coextruded and laminated structures where oxygen, moisture, or puncture protection beyond commodity polyethylene is required.
Sustainable & Recycled Films
PCR content film and compostable film options for buyers balancing sustainability commitments against performance and cost requirements.
