The upcoming International Packaging Conclave 2016 in Delhi proposes a new but absolutely critical narrative aimed at ironing out certain structural flaws in the way the printing and packaging industry perceives its priorities in India.

Uflex has recently developed Cast Polypropylene (CPP) Film with Robust Seal Performance. This film finds widespread use in addressing different types of packaging needs and exhibiting superior sealing functionalities. The problem of poor run-ability of laminate on new generation state-of-the-art high speed Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) machines and persistent problems like seal opening at high speed; poor seal through contamination and poor hermetic seals led the engineers at Uflex to develop the Robust Seal Performance CPP Film.
