Important Considerations for Using Roll Film in Packaging

Roll film is highly valued for its convenience and compact nature, making it a popular choice across various industries such as spices, healthcare, and cosmetics. When utilizing roll film, there are several key aspects to consider to ensure smooth operation and high-quality results:

Roll Film Size and Machine Compatibility

Roll film is similar to toilet paper rolls, containing a fixed number of pouches. It’s crucial to consider the film’s thickness and the packaging machine’s capacity. For example, if a machine can handle a maximum outer diameter of 300mm, the roll’s diameter must not exceed this limit.

Additionally, machines may require a specific inner diameter, such as 76mm, for proper installation.

Also, the thickness of the rollstock normally is within 70-100 microns to make sure the heat-sealing works well.

Labelling the Front and Back of the Film

Clearly labelling the front and back sides of the roll film is essential. This ensures that the finished product meets the required specifications when installed on the machine. Indicating the front and back sides in the design drawing facilitates better sample production and accurate order placement.

Position of the Eye Mark

The eye mark’s position on the roll film is critical as it determines the height of each pouch. Correct positioning ensures the desired packaging dimensions and helps maintain consistent quality during the packaging process.

Die-Line Confirmation

Knife lines for the roll film are not provided directly. Instead, a proof is created based on your design pattern, and your confirmation is sought once the proof is complete. This step is crucial to ensure that the final product matches the design specifications accurately.

Order Quantity

Due to the specific characteristics of roll film, pricing typically reflects the cost per roll, often representing the price of the starting quantity. It’s important to understand the pricing structure and minimum order quantities when placing your order.

Additionally, the roll stocks or roll stock tubes are usually used to pack candy, chips, protein powder, supplement powders, pet foods granules, and other forms of products. We offer rolls for stand-up pouches, sachets, three-sided sealed bags, fin-back sealed bags, flat-bottom bags, and other bag styles.
