SHERIDAN, WYOMING - August 10, 2024 - Innovia Films, a global leader in BOPP film manufacturing and material science innovation, has announced the launch of RayoForm™ ELR70, a groundbreaking in-mold labeling (IML) film designed to meet the demanding requirements of large-format containers.
This 5-layer, semi-cavitated film boasts a distinctive dual-sided finish - one side matt and one side gloss - providing enhanced aesthetics and functionality for a variety of applications. Moreover, its unique construction offers a notable reduction in density compared to standard white IML films, making it a more resource-efficient choice.
RayoForm™ ELR70 is specifically engineered for large-format containers commonly used in the paint, food, and industrial sectors. Its exceptional stiffness facilitates larger sheet conversion and enables the creation of bigger, more impactful labels.
Paul Watters, Product Manager Labels at Innovia Films, highlighted the film's versatility, stating, “The high stiffness of the film allows for bigger labels and larger sheet conversion, this product performs excellently on both PP and PE containers.” He added, “The new film grade was developed to support the in-mold labeling markets where sizable labels are the norm. Supporting a range of 5-25 liter containers easily.”
The film's two-sided treatment is another key differentiator. It allows for precise control of anti-static levels throughout the high-speed sheet feeding and molding process, delivering optimal print and molding performance. This translates to superior label quality and consistency, even for extensive production runs.
With RayoForm™ ELR70, Innovia Films is reaffirming its position as a trailblazer in the packaging industry. The film's combination of high performance, versatility, and reduced environmental impact is poised to transform in-mold labeling for large containers, enabling brand owners and manufacturers to create visually appealing, durable, and sustainable packaging solutions.
