Features and use
Tray sealing film is an essential element in the food industry. It is a type of plastic film for packaging, specifically designed for sealing and protecting food products. This lidding film acts as an effective barrier against contaminants, extending the shelf life of food by shielding it from moisture, oxygen, and environmental factors. In addition, it prevents leaks and ensures safe transportation.
Available in printed or unprinted options, this plastic film comes in glossy or matte finishes, depending on the type of tray used. For unprinted films, C-WRAP labels or self adhesive labels are a great solution for displaying product information. A printed lidding film enhances brand identity and improves the product’s visual appeal directly on the packaging.
We understand the challenges in the packaging industry and we know how frustrating it can be to stop production due to problems in the heat-sealing process.
🛠 Common issues in the thermosealing process:
✅ Condensation on the inside of the film, which prevents a clear view of the product.
✅ Insufficient adhesion of the thermosealing film, compromising the sealing.
✅ Difficulty opening the package, causing the film to tear instead of peeling off easily.
With the right plastic sealing film roll and expert consultation from Rottaprint, we ensure secure sealing and optimal protection for your products.
