Jindal Films Introduces Global Solutions for Packaging and Labeling Innovation at interpack 2014

Jindal Films will display its broad portfolio of industry leading oriented polypropylene (OPP) and polyolefin (PO) films for packaging innovation at the Open Area at Hall 9/09-1, Interpack, Dusseldorf, Germany, May 8-14, 2014. A highlight at the booth, will be the introduction of new film technologies for a range of flexible packaging and labeling applications which can help customers improve performance and meet sustainability challenges. There will also be a celebration of Oppalyte™ OPP film which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

“The business that is now Jindal Films has always been an industry and technology leader. With Jindal Films a core business of the Jindal Group, there is a rejuvenated commitment to the global OPP films business. A testament to this commitment is the ongoing investment in new film technologies which are helping our packaging and labeling customers grow their businesses through innovation,” said Paul Griffith, executive vice president, Jindal Films.

The new solutions include Bicor™ 50 SuP 490, the first OPP-based sealant film for stand-up pouch applications. The film offers excellent stiffness for stand-up display, high transparency for optimum visibility, and outstanding moisture barrier, while providing opportunities for downgauging compared to blown linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) or cast polypropylene (CPP) alternatives.

Metallyte™ MM688 OPP film is a metallized, surface printable monoweb solution with a broad seal range and operating window for high-speed horizontal form fill and speed (HFFS) packaging. The film, with a very low temperature seal coating, can replace lamination while maintaining moisture, flavor and aroma barriers to keep products tasting and smelling fresh.

Label-Lyte™ 52LLC247 film is a new white lightweight oriented PO film offering excellent converting characteristics, conformability and flexibility for pressure sensitive label (PSL) applications. The conformability and squeezability of the film allows the label to remain intact and appear new even after multiple squeezes of the container. The printable surface enables point-of-sale impact to be enhanced for a wide range of products including health and beauty care, household products, beverages, canistered or bottled food.

“These new films follow the introduction of several technologies in the past 12-18 months. And, with many more in the development pipeline, this is a particularly dynamic and exciting time for the company and our customers,” said Griffith. “But, of course, we cannot forget Oppalyte, an industry-leading brand that was introduced 30 years ago. In fact, we still have staff who remember its introduction which is an indication of the expertise, experience and commitment that remains in this organization.”

Jindal Films is a global technology leader in the development and manufacture of specialty OPP films, offering a broad range of flexible packaging and labeling solutions for customer innovation. The company is renowned for the global supply of high-quality products which include: Bicor™, Oppalyte™ and Metallyte™ films for packaging applications, and Label-Lyte™ film for label applications.

Jindal Films is a global leader in the development and manufacture of specialty biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP or OPP) films. The Jindal Films product range includes multi-layer clear, white opaque and metalized films along with water-based coated films. While Jindal Films products are deployed in various end-use applications, the main market segments for our products are Flexible Packaging and Labeling.

Flexible Packaging

Within Flexible Packaging, Jindal Films provides OPP products that lead the market in terms of barrier to moisture, oxygen, and flavor & aroma. These barriers protect package contents and extend the shelf-life of consumer products so our customers can expand their product distribution channels, reduce stales and keep products tasting ‘first day fresh’. Our barrier technology is available in our range of Bicor™ (clear), Metallyte™ and Oppalyte™ films.

Jindal Films also provides OPP films with enhanced sealant capability. For example our low temperature sealant coatings, such as Bicor™ LTSC and Bicor™ VLTS films, provide robust sealant technology to allow increased machine speeds and consistent sealability on a wide range of high speed horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) equipment. Jindal Films also has Enhanced Sealant (ES) OPP films that approach hermaticity and provide amongst the strongest seals available in OPP films on the market.

Labeling

No matter what decorating technology you use, Jindal Films has a film solution for your labeling needs. Our Label-Lyte™Pressure Sensitive (PS) Facestocks films provide print surfaces that are robust across a wide range of printing and ink technologies. Label-Lyte™ PS facestocks provide backside surfaces that are receptive to a wide range of PS adhesives including hot melt, permanent, removable and repositionable. Label-Lyte™ PS facestocks are available in clear films for a no-label look or in white opaque and metallized films to meet every decorative need.

If your container requires a shrink label, Jindal Films can meet your need. Our ROSO films provide a Roll-On-Shrink-On label that shrinks in the machine direction. Jindal Films also provides the newest technology in shrink sleeve applications – our 50TD200 film that provides up to 50% shrink on standard sleeve and seaming equipment. This exciting new label film separates from PET bottles and floats so that PET can be collected and recycled without film and ink contamination.

Jindal Films also has Label-Lyte™ films for glue-applied label applications. Films for Roll-Fed bottle labels are available in clear, white and metal versions. Jindal Films also has films designed for litho print patch labels in hot melt Cut & Stack applications.
