    Flexible Packaging Materials

    • Plastic Films
    • PE (Polyethylene) Film: Generally used for making bags and pouches due to its flexibility and sealing capability.

    • LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) Film: Ideal for food packaging and stretch films due to its soft, flexible, and transparent nature

    • HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) Film: A tougher and more durable type of PE; used in shopping bags and industrial packaging.

    • HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) Film: A tougher and more durable type of PE; used in shopping bags and industrial packaging

    • HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) Film: A tougher and more durable type of PE; used in shopping bags and industrial packaging

    • CPP (Cast Polypropylene) Film: A softer type of PP, often used as a lamination layer and in medical packaging

    • PET (Polyester) Film: Offers high mechanical strength and a good gas barrier; used for nuts and ready-to-eat food packaging

    • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Film: Known for its transparency, generally used in shrink-wrap applications

    • PA (Polyamide / Nylon) Film: Provides high puncture resistance and gas barrier; ideal for vacuum packaging (meat, cheese)

    • EVOH Barrier Films: Offers a very high oxygen barrier; used in multi-layer films to extend the shelf life of sensitive foods

    • Biodegradable Films (PLA, etc.): Compostable and environmentally friendly packaging solutions made from plant-based resources


    • Paper & Cardboard
    • Kraft Paper: Has high tear resistance, generally used for bags and wrapping paper.

    • Sulphite / Greaseproof Paper: Used for packaging items like butter and cheese due to its grease resistance

    • Coated Paper: Has a smooth and glossy surface, preferred for packaging that requires high-quality printing

    • Foils & Metallized Films
    • Aluminum Foil: A perfect barrier against light, moisture, and gas; used for products like coffee and pharmaceuticals

    • Metallized PET/BOPP Film: Created by coating a plastic film with a thin layer of aluminum; provides a shiny appearance and an improved barrier

    • Composite & Multi-Layer Materials

    • Lamine Filmler: Farklı malzeme katmanlarının (örn: PET+PE) birleştirilmesiyle dayanıklılık ve bariyer özelliklerinin artırıldığı filmlerdirLaminated Films: Films where layers of different materials (e.g., PET+PE) are combined to increase strength and barrier properties.

    • Co-extruded Films: Films with multiple plastic layers produced in a single process, often used in food packaging

    • Other Flexible Materials

    • Non-woven Fabric: Used for tea bags, wet wipe packaging, and medical products

    • Net Packaging: Used for packaging products like fruits and vegetables to allow air circulation

    • PET Bottles & Jars: Common, clear, and durable containers for beverages and food

    • HDPE Bottles & Containers: Generally opaque, chemical-resistant containers (milk jugs, detergent bottles, etc.).

    • PP (Polypropylene) Containers: High-temperature resistance; used for yogurt cups, margarine tubs, and microwaveable containers

    • Metal Packaging
    • Tin Cans (Steel): Used for canned foods (vegetables, fish, ready meals)
