Micro Perforated Films
Micro Perforated Films has micro holes that allow air permeation to maintain the rate of respiration. It 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 vegetables 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 perforated films: however, we can produce different patterns of micro-perforation as required by the customer or the application.

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.
