When to spec thermoforming film vs barrier laminate
Choose thermoforming films when
- You run a thermoform-fill-seal line (Multivac, Ulma or similar) and need matched base and lidding films
- Your product is fresh meat, poultry, fish or dairy in a MAP or vacuum tray format
- Seal compatibility between base and lid, and formability at line speed, are the primary specification drivers
Choose barrier laminates when
- You need roll stock or converted pouches with defined OTR, WVTR or MAP gas-barrier performance — see our barrier films page for structure tables
- Your application is snacks, coffee, pharmaceutical sachets or ambient shelf-stable products in pouch or FFS format
- You require aluminium foil, EVOH or metalized PET barrier layers in a multi-layer laminate
