Rollstock - Colorful Packaging

Rollstock packaging offers many benefits for food manufacturers and consumers, such as:

Cost-effectiveness: Rollstock packaging reduces material and labor costs by using less film per package and allowing high-speed automated production. According to Colorfulpackaging, a leading manufacturer of rollstock machines, their machines can produce up to 40 packages per minute with minimal waste and downtime. Rollstock packaging also saves storage and transportation costs by reducing package volume and weight.

Versatility: Rollstock packaging can accommodate different product shapes, sizes, and weights with ease. The film can be customized to have various features such as barrier properties, resealability, easy-open, easy-peel, etc. Rollstock packaging can also be printed with high-quality graphics and information to enhance the product’s shelf appeal and brand recognition.

Sustainability: Rollstock packaging is more environmentally friendly than rigid packaging as it uses less material and energy to produce and generates less greenhouse gas emissions and waste. Rollstock packaging can be manufactured using recyclable or compostable materials as well, effectively reducing its environmental footprint. For example, St. Johns Packaging, a global leader in flexible packaging solutions, offers rollstock packaging made from renewable or recycled materials that are certified by third-party organizations such as BPI, OK Compost, etc.

Quality: Rollstock packaging preserves the freshness, flavor, aroma, and nutrition of food products by providing excellent protection against oxygen, moisture, light, microbes, etc. Rollstock packaging also prevents product damage and contamination during handling, storage, and distribution. Rollstock packaging can extend the shelf life of food products and reduce food waste.

Rollstock packaging is a simple but highly effective solution for food products that offer cost-effectiveness, versatility, sustainability, and quality. If you are looking for a reliable partner to provide you with rollstock packaging solutions, you can contact Colorfulpackaging, a trusted supplier of flexible packaging materials and services. Colorfulpackaging can help you choose the best rollstock film for your product and application, as well as provide you with printing, laminating, and slitting services.

Flexible Packaging Rollstock - ProAmpac

ProAmpac is at the cutting edge of materials science and implementing the latest technology into our packaging.

Our rollstock products using both conventional and sustainable structures have been tested successfully on vertical, horizontal, and flow wrap lines from numerous machine manufactures. We strive to design our materials to drop in and run as well as possible. Rest assured our packaging will provide the right product protection and stand out on the shelf with brilliant graphics.

The industrial market requires pressure-sensitive label release base for products such as insulation. These products are all coated on our tandem extrusion coating lines, which can coat two sides of a substrate in one pass. In-line ancillary equipment provides lay-flat characteristics required in certain markets. 

Our laminations are produced to stringent quality specifications using a broad range of materials: PET, foil, OPP, PE, High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), metallocene PE, Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), CPP and metalized films.

ProAmpac's foil packaging provides a complete, impermeable barrier for a variety of fresh packed stick or chuck butters.  Our unique aluminum structure is made without intentionally adding per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and protects product integrity and improves shelf-life.  The foil has a strong flexible bond that will not delaminate, or curl as there is no inbuilt stress with the process. Our embossing process has been developed to give the best dead fold possible due to its mechanical properties. This in combination with very controlled slip value, ensures our foil runs smoothly, without issue on packing machines.

We use solventless adhesives as part of the makeup of the product which assists in generating excellent migration results. Our foil has been developed to be environmentally highly efficient, using lower energy during distribution therefore reducing the carbon footprint.
