Toppan, a wholly owned subsidiary of Toppan Holdings, has installed a hybrid manufacturing line capable of producing both biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) and biaxially oriented polyethylene (BOPE) films on the same machine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The installation was carried out in collaboration with its India-based subsidiary, Toppan Speciality Films Private Limited (TSF).\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the Japanese company, TSF will begin mass production on the new line from mid-November 2025.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The facility will supply BOPP and BOPE films to packaging converters and major brand owners in the food and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sectors across India and international markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new installation is expected to raise TSF\u2019s overall film production capacity by around 40%.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It operates at high speed and incorporates an advanced quality management system to maintain uniform thickness, enhance transparency and offer consistent\u202fstrength across products.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Toppan\u2019s initiative supports its plan to meet rising demand for recyclable, mono-material sustainable packaging.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This demand is particularly strong in Europe, where companies are shifting from PET to BOPP and BOPE films.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The move also aligns with India\u2019s Plastic Waste Management Rules and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By 2027, TSF aims to increase its annual sales volume to around 33,000t.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company also plans to extend its product range to include transparent GL BARRIER films \u2013 Toppan\u2019s proprietary high-barrier brand \u2013 and to develop new films with improved heat resistance and sealing properties.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Founded in Tokyo in 1900, the Toppan Group operates across a range of sectors including printing, communications, security, packaging, d\u00e9cor materials, electronics and digital transformation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In April 2025, Toppan Holdings finalised the acquisition<\/a> of Sonoco Products Company\u2019s Thermoformed and Flexibles packaging (TFP) business in the US for approximately $1.8bn, on a cash-free and debt-free basis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
