The benefits of our FFS film

  • High output:The formulations of our FFS films are tailored to ensure a stable and uniform packaging process, contributing to a high number of cycles per minute.
  • Replacement of laminate films: Our mono-PE FFS films have been developed as an alternative to traditional multilayer laminate films. These structures are fully recyclable within the PE chain.
  • Limited downtime: Due to consistent quality and good processability, operators in practice experience little unplanned downtime on packaging machines.

Packaging machines which our Folies handle well

Our FFS films are suitable for a wide range of packaging machines. One example is the GEA SmartPacker CX400, on which our films are processed using the FFS principle without any problems.
