Film
Roll at the width, gauge and treatment your equipment asks for — flow wrap, vertical or tray. What gets watched most closely here is color between runs: that the December roll prints the same as the January one.
Roll stock at the width, gauge and treatment your equipment asks for. Film is the least glamorous thing we make and the one where consistency matters most: what gets watched here is colour between runs, so that the roll you get in December prints the same as the one you got in January. A packer who has been burned by a colour shift mid-season knows exactly why that sentence is in this page.
Typical use cases
- Packers with automatic lines
- Fresh and processed co-packers

Questions buyers ask about film
How many colours can you print on film?
Up to 7 colours plus varnish on printed, top seal and form fill seal film.
Will the colour match my last order?
That is the thing this line is managed for. Colour is controlled against your approved standard, run after run — it is the single most common reason a packer changes film suppliers.
Can I get ventilation holes in top seal film?
Yes. Various dies and ventilation configurations, specified to what the product needs in the tray.
Do you make film for my specific bagger?
Tell your rep the make and model. Generic film is made for giro, daumar and sorma style equipment; for anything else the width, gauge and treatment are specified to your machine before anything is printed.
