Food Grade Packaging Film
Heat Sealable Films
Heat sealable films are thermoplastic films designed to bond when exposed to heat and pressure. They are widely used for flexible packaging, laminating, sealing, and industrial applications.
Heat sealable films are designed for heat-activated bonding and strong sealing. They can create a reliable seal without additional liquid adhesives in many applications.

Heat Sealable Films Features
Strong sealing, reliable bonding, and flexible packaging performance for industrial and commercial applications.
-
Strong Heat Seal Strength
Heat sealable films create a strong bond after heating. They help improve package integrity and reduce seal failure.
-
Excellent Seal Integrity
A properly selected heat sealable film can provide reliable protection against air, moisture, and contamination.
-
Good Flexibility
Heat sealable films remain flexible after sealing. This makes them suitable for pouches, bags, sachets, and other flexible packaging formats.
-
Low and Stable Sealing Temperature
The films can be engineered for efficient heat sealing. Stable sealing performance helps improve production consistency.
-
High-Speed Processing
Heat sealable films are suitable for automated sealing equipment. They support efficient packaging production.
-
Custom Film Solutions
Film thickness, seal strength, transparency, surface treatment, and sealing temperature can be customized for specific production needs.
Common Heat Sealing Film Applications
Heat seal film is widely applied across food packaging lines where reliable seals, product protection and efficient machine performance are essential. Below are four of the most common application areas.
Snack Food Packaging
Heat seal film is widely used for snack bags and flexible packs. It protects dry foods from moisture and air while enabling high-speed packaging. Typical formats include pillow packs and flow-wrap bags for chips, nuts and dried fruit, delivering clear product visibility and consistent seals even with residual powders.
Dairy and Convenience Food Packaging
The film is chosen for yogurt lids, cheese packs and similar convenience items. It balances reliable seal strength with controlled peel options for easy opening, resists moisture and oxygen ingress, and remains compatible with chilled distribution while providing high-clarity presentation that meets food-contact safety requirements.
Ready Meal and Tray Lidding
The film seals lids onto plastic trays and cups for chilled and frozen ready meals. It creates peelable or lock seals as required, prevents leaks during distribution, and in selected grades supports microwave or oven use. This application is common for dairy, meat and prepared foods on automatic lidding machines.
Pouch and Bag Packaging
Heat seal film forms pouches and stand-up bags for powders, liquids and dry goods. It enables strong three-side or four-side seals, supports vacuum or modified-atmosphere packing, and works well with laminated structures when higher barrier performance is needed. Consistent sealing performance is maintained in continuous production.
Frequently Asked Questions

-
What is heat seal film used for?
Heat seal film is mainly used in food packaging, snack bags, tray lidding, and pouches. It creates airtight seals for products that need moisture and oxygen protection.
-
How does heat seal film work?
A special sealant layer melts under heat and pressure. The layers bond as they cool. No glue is required. The outer film stays intact.
-
What temperature is needed to heat seal film?
Sealing temperature depends on the grade and thickness. Many films seal between roughly 110°C and 160°C. Always test on your equipment for the best results.
