Forvara® Mushroom Wrap Films
Forvara® Mushroom Packaging Wrap Film is a specialized film used for mushroom packaging as it solves the problem of color change and deterioration of product. Mushroom Packaging film is preferred by mushroom packers, supermarket owned packers, case ready and deli counters due to its presentation, freshness and extended shelf life along with achieving the highest global food safety standards.
Mushrooms need to breathe actively. The high permeability of this film along with the required micro perforation ensures the free exchange of air, keeping mushrooms healthy, fresh and odor-free.

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.
High Optical Transparency
Exceptional anti-fog properties for see-through packaging of perishables to display in freezers.
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 mushrooms for a longer period, thus increasing their shelf life.
Odourless
No obnoxious smell compared to PVC films.
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 in the environment.
Higher Elasticity and Good Memory
Allows the film to be kept taut around the product, without wrinkles.

Variants
Micro-perforated Film
Mushroom Packaging 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 or hot needles, or laser processes.
Micro-perforation is essential for packed mushrooms, 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 contents, 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 biodegradable mushroom packaging. With the world moving onto sustainable packaging, our film can be used in packaging of fresh fruit and vegetables, mushrooms, and fresh produce.
The eco-friendly film has technical properties similar to conventional film. With this biodegradable product, we aim to bring about a positive effect on the environment and reduce the use of non-biodegradable single-use plastic.
Printed Film
Mushrooms manufacturers and packers need printing on the film for brand building and consumer confidence. We supply printed film up to 6 colours using CI Flexo or Gravure process.

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.
