WINDOW CARTON FILM EarthFirst® PLA film is the perfect alternative to plastic films that are
detrimental to our environment. Without sacrificing performance and quality,
you can feel confident in choosing EarthFirst PLA film for your window carton applications
because it is environmentally friendly. Its properties are just as good
and oftentimes surpass those of comparable films.
For applications that involve food, EarthFirst PLA film has a great flavor and aroma
barrier which provides a heightened seal against the entry of unwanted odors
while protecting inherent flavors and aromas. While it stands between aromas,
moisture can breathe freely through the walls of EarthFirst PLA film to prevent fogging
on windows and promote swift adhesive drying. Using EarthFirst PLA film in food applications
extends the products’ freshness and results in a longer shelf life.
EarthFirst PLA film sheds a fresh light on food packaging.
Some recommended
applications using EarthFirst include:
Folding
Carton Windows
Bag Windows
(especially for bags that currently required perforation to breathe)
PACKAGING FILM Packaging Nature in Nature has never been more appropriate then right now. EarthFirst PLA packaging film is produced from annually renewable resource; corn. Our new packaging film is an ideal substrate for packaging anything from produce to CD’s. Many of the characteristics of this new film include, heat salability, good aroma barrier to protect against scalping, excellent deadfold, FDA compliancy, scratch resistant as well as a natural dyne level of 38 for good ink adhesion. EarthFirst PLA packaging film is available in clear, matte and white grades. People can feel more confident about choosing an environmentally friendly substrate for their applications.
LABEL FILM EarthFirst PLA film is the responsible alternative for labeling applications
that call for high performance and value. By choosing EarthFirst PLA film, you
demonstrate the forethought to safeguard our environment and help eliminate
harmful waste. EarthFirst PLA film comes in both white and clear for labels
and can be used in cut and stack or pressure sensitive applications. This
film is perfect for uses that call for the modern, no-label look application
because of its exceptional clarity and gloss.
Label Face
Stock (Cut and Stack, Pressure Sensitive)
EarthFirst PLA film is a friendly product that can accompany returnable bottles
to limit waste and uphold reusability. The breathability of EarthFirst
PLA film allows the underlying adhesive to dry through the label. This film exhibits
excellent resistance to alcohol, grease and oils and is approved for food
contact in Europe, Canada and the U.S.
In terms of C&S labels, EarthFirst PLA film is clear, glossy, has a high modulus
(stiffness), and a high MVTR that allows for fast adhesive drying. It
has a higher stiffness than polypropylene, which provides for better dispensing
at much thinner gauges.
Label Liner
Shrink Labels
PLA shrinks at lower temperatures, which is beneficial by keeping the
temperature rise to a minimum.
SHRINK FILM
EarthFirst TDO shrink film is ideally suited for current uniquely shaped containers. EarthFirst TDO shrinks at substantially lower temperatures allowing the user to enjoy savings in energy consumption and also increasing productivity.
A decrease of 44% greenhouse gas emissions and consumption of 36% less oil is realized when producing the resin used in the manufacturing of EarthFirst PLA films, compared to other petrochemical based products. EarthFirst TDO shrink film has a natural dyne level of 38 giving the user an excellent printing surface. Our film is scuff resistant, FDA compliant, and made from the sustainable resource corn. EarthFirst TDO shrink film will result in a positive experience from farmer to end user.
ENVELOPE FILM EarthFirst PLA film is a very viable option for envelope windows. Our
selection consists of clear and matte film for your windowing applications.
The USPS standard for haze are met and exceeded with EarthFirst PLA film. Readability
is not compromised as it passes the USPS Optical Character Recognition
Machine standards, including MERLIN, and the dimensional and environmental
stability of this film eliminate potential puckering and warping. Little
or no machine adjustments have to be made when switching from glassine
to PLA. To make your choice even easier, the same glue can be used in
attaching your EarthFirst PLA film window as used with polystyrene or glassine
film. Adding a little “green” today to your envelope, folding
carton or bag will sustain a more colorful world tomorrow.
