What is Tomato BOPP Film?

Attention tomato growers – we have a fresh produce packaging solution for you!

BOPP – Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene Films

The properties of BOPP film make the packaging application optimal for tomatoes. Tomatoes are a fresh produce food with a short shelf life ranging between 1-5 days depending on the environment. BOPP packaging film is optimal for tomatoes as it contains anti-fogging properties.

Tomato BOPP film was specifically developed to allow the right amount of air flow within the bag.  The right combination of hot needle perforated with macro punched holes allow adequate air flow which helps prolong shelf life and maintain post-harvest quality.

BOPP packaging films are non-toxic making them safe to be used on all different types of food, including tomatoes.

BOPP film is a form of thermoplastic polymer, commonly known as polypropylene plastic (PP) which is 5%. Constructed by stretching the film in two different directions, BOPP film packaging is commonly machine-applied by a horizontal flow wrap machine.

BOPP film properties differ from conventional polypropylene because BOPP films are designed to be moisture resistant, have superior strength, and have high clarity.
