High-barrier films enable 'intricate foiling'

BOPP film specialist Innovia has launched two new high-barrier films for labelling applications.

UltraFoil CXFA (clear) and WXFA (white) both have EU and FDA food contact compliance and are aimed at brand owners and label printers.

“As part of the UltraFoil product group they give better narrow web print and foil performance,” Alasdair McEwen, Innovia product manager of labels, said.

“Their tailored surface allows enhanced detail for finer tone work and intricate foiling designs for maximum brand impact. They also have a high barrier coating on one side which aids product protection, and the films have now been certified food contact compliant.”

Both grades are available in 53 and 61 micron thicknesses and provide high machine direction stiffness for improved conversion and high speed label dispensing.
