Innovia Films launches new high-grade packaging for confectionery
Innovia Films is launching the next film in its new Propafilm™ Strata range of transparent high barrier, mono structure, packaging films, aimed at the biscuit, bakery and confectionery market.
SLF, a chlorine-free film that delivers e barrier levels to oxygen, moisture, aroma and mineral oils, has been designed with a wide sealing range making it ideal for high-speed horizontal-form-fill- seal packaging.

It is the perfect replacement for PVdC coated films. We have incorporated a
