High barrier MDO-PE film means the MDO-PE film with high barrier treatment. The barrier film function will protect your products from oxygen and moisture; and maintain in good quality after long time storage on shelf.
Normally there are 2 types of high barrier MDO-PE films:
Barrier Coating MDO-PE film
Metalized MDO-PE film
The final OTR and WVTR for the laminated PE film:
The main purpose of High Barrier MDO-PE invention is a packaging solution for high barrier 100% recyclable mono material PE flexible packaging.
Below are the common 100% fully recyclable mono material PE flexible packaging laminated film structures:
High Barrier MDO-PE / PE
MDO-PE / High Barrier MDO-PE / PE
The final OTR and WVTR for the laminated PE film:
OTR: 0.5 – 2
WVTR: 0.8 – 3.5
High Barrier MDO-PE is the perfect material to replace foil and Metalized PET. When it laminated to PE film, it can be used to make all kinds of bags, such as:
100% recyclable mono-material stand up pouches
100% recyclable mono-material spout pouches
100% recyclable mono-material flat bottom pouches
100% recyclable mono-material shaped pouches
100% recyclable mono-material rollstock
100% recyclable mono-material side gusset bags
etc
We will always be your reliable 100% recyclable flexible packaging partner to work with!
High barrier MDO-PE film is one of the hottest flexible packaging materials right now. Cause this is the ultimate solution for heavy duty high barrier recyclable flexible packaging.
As we know many of the countries set up their goals of 100% reuse, recyclable or compostable in packaging. High barrier MDO-PE film solves the difficulty for recyclability in high barrier laminated packaging.
But high barrier MDO-PE film is still new in the market, actually it just come out in 2020. And only a few manufacturers globally can produce this film. Even most of the flexible packaging factories they don’t know this film.
Today we will give an ultimate guide about what is high barrier MDO-PE film.
It’s an in-depth article that takes 20 minutes to read.
High barrier MDO-PE film means the MDO-PE film with high barrier treatment. The barrier function will protect your products from oxygen and moisture; and maintain in good quality after long time storage on shelf.
Normally there are 2 types of high barrier MDO-PE films
Barrier MDO-PE film: the MDO-PE film with high barrier coating
Metalized MDO-PE film: the MDO-PE film with metalized treatment
Barrier coating MDO-PE film
It is transparent
Normally it is on the outer layer of the laminated packaging. And 2 layers total will be good enough for laminating packaging. Which is Barrier MDO-PE/PE
OTR 1.5, WVTR 3
Lower overall cost
Metalized MDO-PE film
It is silver color. (same as foil and metalized film)
Normally it is in the middle layer of the laminated packaging, at least 3 layers. Such as MDO-PE/metalized MDO-PE/PE
OTR: 0.5, WVTR:0.8
Higher overall cost.
High barrier function: It is easy to understand that high barrier MDO-PE film will have high barrier function. This barrier coatings for flexible packaging is to protect the packed products from oxygen and moisture. And the barrier films for food packaging can guarantee the quality.
Recyclability: The invention of high barrier MDO-PE film is recyclability. There are many other film materials with high barrier function, but high barrier MDO-PE film is the best option for heavy duty recyclable packaging. It is the perfect eco friendly packaging materials.
Reduce PE material thickness: MDO-PE film is having better functions than standard PE film. When we are using MDO-PE film, we can use thinner PE and achieve the same function.
High pressure resistance: it can resist higher pressure.
Minimal deformation: The barrier MDO-PE film is with higher rigidity so it will perform better in bag formation.
Shock and tear resistance: Higher resistance and rigidity will sure make the film shock and tear resistant. This will help us with heavy duty production function.
Excellent printability: The material with excellent printability will absolutely help the printing process and make the printing easier and beautiful.
Outstanding optical properties: The film is gloss and transparent.
Flat pouches
Flat bottom pouches
Spout pouches
Stand up pouches
Roll stock rewind
Side gusset bag
3 sides sealed bag / 3 side seal pouches
Shaped pouches
Basically high barrier MDO-PE can make the same barrier pouches as foil and VMPET.
High barrier recyclable mono-material chip packaging
High barrier recyclable mono-material cosmetic pouch
High barrier recyclable mono-material beauty and personal care pouch
High barrier recyclable mono-material dog food bag
High barrier recyclable mono-material cat food bag
High barrier recyclable mono-material pet food bag
High barrier recyclable mono-material coffee bag
High barrier recyclable mono-material tea bag
High barrier recyclable mono-material candy bag
High barrier recyclable mono-material frozen food bag
High barrier recyclable mono-material rice bag
High barrier recyclable mono-material cereal packaging
High barrier recyclable mono-material milk powder bag
Actually there are only a few manufacturers globally, and mainly in North America and EU. But normally they only have metalized MDO-PE, while the technology of transparent coated high barrier MDO-PE film is not very good.
Longdapac is the first and only supplier in China have both transparent coated high barrier MDO-PE film and metalized MDO-PE film.
Longdapac is the leading flexible packaging manufacturer from China. We focus on sustainability packaging as you can see below:
100% fully recyclable high barrier mono material recyclable pouches
Longdapac is the first Chinese factory who can make high barrier mono-material PE pouch.
Longdapac recyclable high barrier mono-material PE pouches can meet the recyclability of
Longdapac is a BRC and ISO certified factory with annual capacity of more than 25,000 tons.
Basically Longdapac can satisfy all your recyclable packaging needs, both standard and high barrier.
No doubt that high barrier MDO-PE film is the future for high barrier recyclable flexible packaging film. It can make recyclable bags.
As we know the recyclability of standard level of laminating pouch has been in the market for many years. Actually we can even use OPP/PE for all the recyclable packaging. Even though it is not same material, but OPP and PE have very similar film character so they can be recycled together.
OPP/MCPP and MOPP/CPP can solved recyclability of light weight packaging.
The difficulty is the high barrier function laminating pouch which needs heavy duty function. The traditional film of foil, VMPET, MOPP, MCPP cannot solved the heavy duty laminating pouch recyclability easily.
The invention of high barrier MDO-PE film solved the recyclability of heavy duty laminated pouch. We are sure that high barrier MDO-PE film will dominate the market share in the near future. This is the true sustainable packaging.
