Forvara® Cheese Wrap Films
Forvara® Cheese Wrap Films are manufactured through a specially engineered combination of select food-grade polymers and process innovation to produce film free from any taste or odor. Our films are known for their soft feel and are an eco-friendly alternative to conventional PVC-based cheese films.
Cheese Wrap Films have excellent mechanical and permeability properties, making them suitable for various fresh cheese packaging applications. Our product plays a very important role in preserving texture and taste for a longer duration, thereby increasing shelf life of the protected item.

Film
Characteristics
Optimum Cling
Allows wrapping around containers of porcelain, glass, ceramic, steel and certain plastics to seal food without the hassle of film entanglement. It has good film-to-film clinginess, too.
100% recyclable & eco-friendly
Polyethylene is easily recycled, without releasing any harmful substances in the environment.
High Optical Transparency
The product has exceptional anti-fog properties for see-through cheese wrap, better organoleptic properties without loss of nutrition contents, and is wholly safe for contact with fatty foods.
Odourless
No obnoxious smell compared to PVC films.
Excellent Breathability
Keeps cheese fresh for a longer period, thus increasing its shelf life.
BPA Free
It is Bisphenol A (BPA) free and does not contain any plasticizers (such as phthalates), stabilizers, chlorine content or any chemicals that are harmful to human health.
Hygienic Ripening
The process ensures optimum flavor development, without compromising on quality.
Better Organoleptic Properties without Loss of Nutrition Content
Also safe for contact with fatty foods.
Controlled breathing
Keeps moisture in and stops the cheese from drying out.
Product
Variants
Micro-perforated Film
This film has micro holes, which enable higher air permeation and water vapour transmission in the packed cheese, even at low-temperature conditions. The film holes range from a diameter of 1 mm to 2 mm, introduced either by cold or hot needles, or laser processes. The film is suitable for manual as well as mechanized operations.
Cheese releases unwanted gases generated during the ripening — the perforated surface helps them to escape while preventing the cheese from drying out. Micro-perforated films help in sustaining quality, freshness, and integrity of contents, enhancing longer shelf life.
Perfa-Perforated Film
These films have perforations at specified equal distance, eliminating the need for a cutter. They offer the following advantages:
- Perforated sheets are easy to cut and reduce waste
- 40% productivity improvement for batch packing
- Eliminates cutter, leading to safe handling
- Perforation intervals can be customized as per the customer requirements
Biodegradable Film
Specialty Polyfilms is committed to developing sustainable products. After years of research and development, we have successfully introduced biodegradable cheese films. With the world moving onto sustainable packaging, our film can be used in wrapping of fresh cheese.
Our eco-friendly film has technical properties similar to conventional film. But, as a biodegradable product, it aims to bring a positive effect on the environment and reduce use of non-biodegradable single-use plastic.

Application
and Usage
Forvara® Cheese Wrap Films ensure optimal aging conditions specific for each type of cheese, thus assuring a hygienic maturing process. Extraordinary puncture resistance provides protection during handling and transport of cheese. The smooth, glossy surface even allows for perfect printing whenever desired. The fast and easy processing on machines and excellent sealability of this film adds to a proficient and prudent packaging process.
We offer printed and non-printed films to suit different types of cheese products — from blocks of cheese to soft or hard cheeses.
We take great pride in developing innovative, efficient, and ecologically-sustainable packs for our customers, creating solutions that protect product quality, extend shelf life, and preserve both freshness and aroma.
Combined with our specialised knowledge and industry expertise, we can help you stand out on the shelf, alongside increasing sales and profitability.
Why Polyethylene?
Polyethylene (PE), the base material used in manufacturing Forvara® & Wrapit® Films, is a simple structure polymer that has the least environmental impact. It is easily recyclable and when annihilated, it burns to hydrogen and carbon without any polluting content.
Polyethylene Films are an ideal replacement for conventional films that contain toxic plasticizers (such as phthalates), hazardous heavy metals (such as lead and mercury), fungicides and other toxic substances that are harmful for human health.
Our new game-changing PVC like (PVCL) Polyethylene film
PVC Like (PVCL) polyethylene films are developed to emulate the key physical attributes of PVC films, like tackiness, softness and transparency. PVCL films have even proved better than the PVC films in many of these attributes.
PVCL polyethylene films have been recognized and placed among the most innovative products in some of the biggest trade shows of the industry, like IFFA–Frankfurt, Germany, 2019 and PLMA–Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2019, to counter the ecological strain caused by the much-debated PVC films.
It is now time-tested that the user would find no difference in usage of our PVCL film as compared to PVC ones, from the functional point of view.
