Flair Flexible Packaging has introduced enhanced PLATINUM+ thermoforming films to improve efficiency and cost savings.

The enhanced PLATINUM+ filsm serve as a premium solution to address common challenges associated with thermoformed flexible packaging.

Flair’s advanced PLATINUM+ forming films will deliver consistent performance with tight formability even if the machine is at the top or bottom of the operating temperature range. It also helps to deliver better wall thicknesses for both deep and shallow drawing.

Designed to better serve processors and their consumers, the enhanced range also includes non-forming films with reduced curling and improved lay-flat characteristics

Flair’s PLATINUM+ thermoforming films are suitable for retail and industrial applications, including cheese products, fresh or processed meat, surimi and tofu.

The PLATINUM+ films, which can be used in fresh and frozen applications, are available in high and standard barriers through the company’s stock programme.

Flair also provides new films in custom structures, sizes, and gauges for unique applications.
