Innovia Films<\/a>, a material science company and producer of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films, has introduced a new film for ice-cream flow wrap packaging.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Named VL40, the white, ultra-low-density cavitated film is optimised to function on the high-speed flow wrap machines used by European ice-cream manufacturers, offering ease of printing and sealing.\u00a0<\/p>\n The film, which features a low sealing threshold suitable for ice-cream flow wrap applications, is engineered to be largely unaffected by climate variations, although it is recommended not to store it at temperatures exceeding 40\u00b0C.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n When stored properly, the film is believed to maintain its quality for up to six months.\u00a0<\/p>\n Developed at the Innovia Films facility in P\u0142ock, Poland, VL40 has undergone successful trials. \u00a0<\/p>\n Innovia Films in Poland is currently offering the film for testing purposes.\u00a0<\/p>\n Innovia Films P\u0142ock general manager Piotr Piasny said: \u201cOur film is a high-gloss white coextruded OPP film with a very wide heat seal range. We made some significant changes to our extrusion lines to be able to deliver this specific film grade that is ideal for ice-cream sandwiches and popsicles. The team did a great job in a very short time.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAmongst other features it offers a very high puncture resistance which is important to preserve the valuable product and prevent food waste. The printability of the product means you can achieve a superior graphic appeal, and the film provides an easy-to-open package.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Innovia Films, a division of CCL Industries<\/a>, introduced a new floatable polyolefin shrink film<\/a> designed for light-sensitive products.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"Email](\"https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/wp-content\/themes\/goodlife-wp-B2B\/assets\/images\/newsletter-new.svg\")
