Application

Where it is used

The overwrap matters as much as the primary bag: it protects the product through its whole life cycle. Choosing the film starts with the terminal sterilisation method and then the barrier the drug needs, since some antibiotics and nutrition solutions are very light-sensitive.

Polycine overwrap films run on automated lines. Depending on your process (thermoforming, flow wrapping, vertical FFS or three-side pouch sealing) we recommend the matching film.
