The markets for flexible packaging materials recorded some minor price decreases across the substrates in the third quarter of 2025. Aluminium foil (7 micron) showed particularly pronounced reductions, alongside BOPA, BOPP and BOPET films. While one-side coated paper (60 g/m²) remained stable, HDPE and LDPE continued the weaker trends seen during the first half of the year.

While prices for one-side coated paper (60 g/m²) increased by 2% compared to Q1 2025, confirming the upward trend, other materials experienced slight price declines: aluminium foil (7 micron) fell by 4%, BOPA film (15 micron) by 1%, and PET film (12 micron) by 2% compared to the previous quarter. BOPP film (20 micron) remained price stable. HDPE prices fell by 2%, while LDPE remained at the previous quarter’s level. This is according to recent data from Flexible Packaging Europe (FPE).
