Packaging film is used to wrap and unitize products on a pallet or in a container. It is also widely used as a protective covering for items in the shipping and logistics industry.

The packaging film market is a fragmented market. It is segmented by material, application, and geography. Asia Pacific is the largest and fastest growing region for packaging film. It is mainly driven by the rising demand for fresh foods and the increasing popularity of ready-to-eat meals in China, Japan, and India.
Polyethylene is the most common material used for making packaging films, and it comes in a variety of forms and grades. It is a high-performance plastic that has good thermal and moisture barrier properties and is corrosion-resistant.
LLDPE is another popular material for making packaging films. It is flexible, lightweight, and has excellent tensile strength. It can also be printed to create attractive and colorful packaging.
CPP is another type of plastic film that is used in the manufacturing of various types of packaging. It is heat-resistant, odorless, and non-toxic.
Barrier films are a versatile type of film that can be molded to meet the needs of specific applications. Toray Advanced Film manufactures a wide range of barrier films that can be fabricated with aluminum oxide, metal deposition, or other processes depending on the base material and its specific application needs.
In addition to a strong barrier, these films can also be coated with other features such as UV protection or odor prevention. They can also be laminated with other materials such as PET, which can add additional oxygen barrier and durability, or KPET, which can provide extra vapor, gas, and moisture barrier properties.
