Description

Cellophane is a transparent, biodegradable film derived from regenerated cellulose, widely recognized for its excellent barrier properties against gases, oils, and greases. Its primary commercial value lies in providing a sustainable and high-clarity packaging solution that meets stringent safety and quality standards. This material is essential for manufacturers in the food packaging, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods industries seeking reliable, eco-friendly film for wrapping, laminating, and protective applications.

Application

• Food Packaging: As a primary wrapping for candies, baked goods, cheese, and meats due to its excellent moisture and aroma barrier.
• Pharmaceutical Packaging: For blister packs and unit-dose packaging where product integrity and clarity are critical.
• Consumer Goods: Used in gift wrapping, flower sleeves, and overwrap for boxes of cigarettes and cosmetics.
• Industrial Lamination: As a base film for metallization or as a component in composite structures for enhanced barrier performance.
• Release Films: In specific manufacturing processes where a non-stick, transparent carrier is required.
• Art Conservation: For protecting delicate documents and artworks, thanks to its neutral pH and clarity.

Quality Control

Our cellophane is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. We adhere to relevant food contact and packaging material regulations, including FDA 21 CFR and EU 10/2011 where applicable. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key physical and barrier properties are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); prolonged exposure to high humidity should be avoided to maintain optimal physical properties and performance.
