HOSTAPHAN™ polyester films for packaging

The development of food packaging is a continuous process and of considerable importance for the food industry. These packages provide protection against environmental influences such as air, water vapour, other gases or mineral oils and ensure that the flavours within the package are preserved. Food films are used to keep food fresh and present it attractively.
Good design influences consumer decisions. Packaging should be attractive and as transparent as possible so that the customer can see the product immediately. It serves as an information carrier for content and brand and must be easy to print on. HOSTAPHAN™ improves the barrier effect and mechanical stability in duplex and triplex laminates (PE/PET or PE/ALU/PET). Metallization further increases this effect.
