As experts in developing innovative Mono-Oriented PE (MOPE) films, our scaled R&D and manufacturing create better recyclable flexible packaging for the industry at large.
With this technology, there are a series of inline processes that include preheating, orientating, annealing, and cooling implemented on the film. The recyclable MOPE films have improved properties such as higher strength and opacity that fits on any existing converting lines such as printing presses, laminators, and pouch-making machines. Additionally, the films are more efficient and productive on FFS lines with longer and better product protection.
The use of Machine Direction Orientation (MDO) technology, with various high-end HDPE components, improves key properties of the MOPE films, including increased stiffness, higher durability, elevated barrier for moisture and water vapor, improved optical clarity, and reduced structure weight.
Machine Direction Orientation (MDO) property enhancements lead to both product improvements and cost reductions. MDO films can be used to reduce packaging costs through film downgauging, non-recyclable material replacement, and process consolidation. Significant economic savings are gained by utilizing the MDO process and designing specific films to meet the requirements for a given application.
MDO technology enables recyclable mono-material flexible packaging, facilitating a circular economy, that leads to a “Zero Waste” system. With our Pack 'N' Cycle films, we support the global efforts to reuse plastic packaging and minimize waste.
"At Polysack our customers always come first. The demand for recyclable packaging has increased over the last several years by brand owners and converters alike. That's why we invest at least 5% of our annual revenue in R&D to meet this demand."
