Pentafood® PP films for two-piece containers now available from Klockner Pentaplast

The Pentafood® film product line has been extended to include Pentafood® W-5120 and W-5150 rigid polypropylene films.

Designed to work in conjunction with one another, Pentafood® W-5120 and W-5150 films are specifically designed for food packaging applications utilizing two-piece printed containers. Two-piece containers are produced as blanks, which are pre-printed on traditional printing presses, then are assembled into a container. Ideal for highimpact promotional containers (movies, sports teams, etc.) and premium product lines such as readyto-eat meals, beverage cups, snack food containers, popcorn tubs, and cereal packaging, these films provide superior graphics quality that exceeds traditional plastic containers while offering features unavailable with paperboard. Pentafood® W-5120 and W-5150 films are available in North America and Europe.

Pentafood® W-5150 base film is engineered with material stiffness to minimize waste and eliminate waviness on the bottom of finished containers. Pentafood® W-5120 sidewall film is optimized for printing and sealing to itself and the container base. In addition, W-5120 film can be heat sealed to a variety of lidstocks compatible with PP containers. These films can be used on existing traditional printing presses configured for plastic sheet.

As compared to traditional paperboard, Pentafood® W-5120 and W-5150 films offer superior brightness and gloss, as well as providing a superior printing surface due to a lack of ink absorption. These films are microwaveable and available in translucent and opaque colors.

Pentafood® W-5120 and W-5150 polypropylene films were developed to meet customers’ packaging requirements for a high-impact printed container,” notes Justin Glass, Klöckner Pentaplast’s business manager of food packaging films for the Americas. “The expansion of our food packaging film range to include this film, along with our existing Pentafood® films, continues to provide our customers with the broadest selection of films available today.”
