Forvara® Meat Packaging Wrap Film
Forvara® Meat Packaging Film is manufactured through a specially engineered combination of select food grade polymers and process innovation to make a product free from any taste or odor. Our PE-based PVC Like (PVCL) films are known for their soft feel and are an eco-friendly alternative to conventional PVC-based meat wrap films.
Meat Packaging Wrap Film is used to preserve the freshness of meat and store it conveniently. It has excellent anti-fog and mechanical properties, making it suitable for both, automated and manual packaging.
The film is used by meat manufacturers and packers as well as for in-house applications in supermarkets and deli counters for case-ready packs. The meat wrap films are available in all standard sizes and thicknesses to service most perishables applications.

Manual Wrap Meat Film
Forvara® Manual Meat Wrap packaging films are tailored to make wrapping simple and easy for delis, butcher shops, grocery stores, and other using manual meat wrapping machines. Manual machines have electric heat blades — and, our film rolls are easy to unfurl and give packers professional-looking even cuts without releasing any foul burning smell. Further, it helps meat trays get tightly sealed by the bottom hot plate.
Machine Wrap Meat Film
Forvara® Meat Wrap Films run efficiently on the auto tray wrapping machines like Digi, Ulma, Waldyssa, Hobart, Ishida, Omori and Ossid. The film works with maximum flexibility on high-speed machines and it gives equivalent throughput as compared to PVC films. Our film is used on a wide variety of trays and ensures a sealed pack with minimum film usage.

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.
BPA Free
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.
Resistant to Extreme Cold
Does not crack even at sub–zero temperatures of up to -30 °C (-22 °F).
Excellent Breathability
Keeps meat fresh for a longer period, thus increasing its shelf life.
High Optical Transparency
Exceptional anti-fog properties for see-through packaging of fresh cut meat to display in freezers.
Better Organoleptic Properties without Loss of Nutrition Content
Also safe for contact with fatty foods.
100% recyclable & eco-friendly
Polyethylene is easily recycled without releasing any harmful substances into the environment.
Tear and Puncture Resistant
Easily wraps around protruding bones without tearing.
Higher Elasticity and Good memory
Allows the film to be kept taut around the product, without wrinkles.

The film does not release toxic substances into the wrapped food when heated.
Product
Variants
Shawarma / Doner Film
Shawarma/ Doner film has functional tackiness, high strength, and excellent stretchability along with exceptional sealing property making the film ideal for preserving the freshness and flavour of the shawarma with extended shelf life even in freezing storage conditions.
We customize the tacky property to enable customers to choose a suitable film for the specific application.
Micro-Perforated Film
This film has micro holes that allow air permeation to maintain the rate of respiration. Micro-perforation involves making holes in the film ranging from a diameter of 1 mm to 2 mm either by cold, hot needle or laser process.
Micro-perforation is essential for packed meats, poultry & fish since the film ensures that products can breathe and the air inside the package can be circulated. It helps in sustaining quality, freshness, and integrity of the content enhancing greater shelf life. Most common is the 5 – line micro-perforation: however, we can produce different patterns of micro-perforation as required by the customer or the application.
Biodegradable Film
Specialty Polyfilms is committed to developing sustainable products. After years of research and development, we have successfully introduced a biodegradable meat film. With the world moving onto sustainable packaging, our film can be used in the packaging of different types of meat and fish.
The eco-friendly film has technical properties that are similar to conventional film. With the biodegradable product, we aim to bring a positive effect on the environment and reduce the use of non-biodegradable single-use plastic.
Printed Film
Meat manufacturers and packers need printing on the film for brand building and consumer confidence. We supply printed meat film in up to six colors using the CI Flexo or Gravure processes.

Application
and Usage
At Specialty Polyfilms, we have a deep understanding of packaging meat and poultry products. We provide superior packaging solutions whether you pack beef, veal, pork, chicken or lamb. Our priority is to provide the best packaging solutions that help you increase reliability and efficiency, reduce operating costs, and minimize product waste in order to remain competitive.
Forvara® Meat Wrap Film successfully meets the twin challenges of:
- Retaining freshness of meat by keeping it red for a long period.
- Keeping packed meat trays fog-free to allow consumers to see-through the case-ready pack.
Packaged foods can contain large amounts of moisture, which causes condensation on the inside of packaging. This can discourage shoppers from buying such packs in a competitive retail environment. The food needs to look pristine in order to stand out on supermarket shelves. Our anti-fogging additives prevent fog build-up on the inside of packages, improving the aesthetics and durability of chilled and hot foods.
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.
