Usage Recommendations
  • It is recommended that BOPP film should be tempered at operating room temperature for 24 hours before use
  • Metalized films should be laminated because the metal layer is not resistant to scratches
  • Before printing on metalized films, it is strongly recommended to apply a primer

Storage & Handling

Storage and Transportation Terms & Conditions
  • Palletizing of goods is done according to customer’s requirements
  • The storage of all goods is in dry, covered and clean warehouses
  • The transportation of the goods is carried out in dry, covered and clean means of transport
  • The recommended temperature of storage/transportation is 10-30°C. If the temperature is not within the recommended limits, the following issues may occur:
    • Decrease of dyne level
    • Higher haze of the film
    • Poor adhesion of the film surface that on a later stage could be an issue for laminating and printing
    • Extremely low COF that can trouble further processing
  • Excessive humidity can be a reason for film blocking
  • Adherence to the above mentioned storage conditions ensures that the film is suitable to be used up to 6 months after production
