Bopp
is a biaxially oriented polypropylene film designed for flexible packaging
and label applications with a three dimensional visual information recorded
on it.
OPP, oriented polypropylene, is a flexible material derived from melting
and orienting a polymer called polypropylene. This raw material, an oil
by-product, is inert and unaffected by most chemical agents occurring in
daily life. Biaxially oriented means that the polypropylene film is
stretched in both the machine direction and across machine direction.
The films characteristics of high gloss and low haze add a positive
effect to its appearance and it makes the process of metallizing easier. Its
applications are mainly food packaging and flower and gift packaging.
