BOPE Films for Mono-Material Flexible Packaging
Biaxially oriented polyethylene (BOPE) films are the foundation of next-generation recyclable flexible packaging. As the industry transitions away from mixed-polymer laminates — PET/PE, PA/PE, OPP/PE — BOPE provides the structural performance needed to build fully recyclable mono-material PE structures without sacrificing stiffness, barrier or machinability on high-speed converting lines.
Bioxpack’s 3NHD range of BOPE films is engineered for converters and brand owners who need technical reliability combined with compliance to EU recyclability requirements and CEFLEX design guidelines. With over 35 years of biaxial extrusion experience and in-house R&D laboratories, we develop BOPE grades tailored to specific converting needs — from sealable single-web flowpack structures to non-sealable lamination webs for doypacks and stand-up pouches. The 3NHD range is produced under BRC Packaging Materials certification.
Available thicknesses:
- From 25 to 50 microns, depending on structure and treatment
- Grades available: One-side treated, one or two-side treated, and sealable or not, sealable versions
Benefits
High-speed compatible – optimized for flow-pack and converting lines
Designed for high-speed packaging applications, 3NHD offers excellent flatness, heat resistance, and lamination properties, ensuring seamless integration on standard converting lines. It’s ideal for flow-pack machines, vertical FFS, and high-output pouching systems.
Downgauged design – reduce plastic usage and material costs
Thanks to its thin, high-performance structure, 3NHD allows for downgauging while maintaining mechanical strength and optical clarity. This results in plastic reduction, lower material costs, and improved environmental impact — with no trade-off on processability or shelf appeal.
Recyclable mono-material film – compliant with EU circular packaging goals
3NHD is a 100% recyclable BOPE film that replaces complex multilayer structures like PP, PA or PET laminates. Its mono-material design supports circular packaging strategies and prepares your brand for upcoming EU 2030 sustainability regulations — without compromising technical performance.
