Uniflex tray lidding films packaging

Uniflex manufactures flexo printed films for sealing of thermoforming and ready-made PP and PE trays. Our laminated lidding films are suitable for the packaging modified atmosphere (MAP).

For PE trays we recommend using material composite PET+PE. For PP trays it is optimal to use PET+PP or PET+PE. Depending on the product type and required barrier properties, the thickness of the PE layer is 40-90 µm, and PET layer thickness is 12-23 µm.

We use additional EVOH layer in case you need packaging with high barrier properties. A PE film with EVOH grades provides the high barrier to gas and water vapour permeability which is essential for the shelf life extension of perishable products.

The advantages of Uniflex lidding packaging:

  • enhanced consumer convenience
