Manufacturer: Flex Films (USA) Inc.; flexfilm.com

Description: B-TGM is a multi-layered mono-material transparent biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film with outstanding oxygen barrier properties suited for oxygen-sensitive foods like dried fruits and nuts that require a packaging structure that helps retain their freshness and quality for a long time. The new film by UFlex addresses these issues. B-TGM is a special-effect-coated BOPP film that offers excellent moisture resistance, low-heat seal initiation temperature (95°C), and excellent clarity and product visibility. It is environmentally friendly.

This multi-layered mono-material BOPP film substrate is made with special polymers to help achieve ease of processing for converters and enhance the shelf life of the packaged product.
