Shrink tightening film wraps chocolates
Thursday, 09 February, 2012
Innovia Films’ shrink-tightening BOPP substrate, Propafilm OS, has been selected by global confectionery manufacturer Ferrero to overwrap boxes of its Rondnoir chocolates.
Propafilm OS is a high-speed, transparent, overwrapping film manufactured using Innovia Films’ unique bubble process. It has balanced shrink-tightening properties and offers a sparkling pack appearance.
The film is also said to be able to significantly increase product shelf life due to its water vapour, flavour and aroma barrier properties.
“We are pleased to supply Propafilm OS to Ferrero. The outstanding sparkle and gloss of the film are important factors in the confectionery market, where shelf appeal and pack wrap tightness can influence purchasing decisions,” said Steve Langstaff, BOPP Product Manager, Innovia Films.
Ferrero Rondnoir is mild, dark chocolate with delicate wafer, smooth chocolate cream and an almond pearl hidden within. The BOPP overwrapped chocolates are available in two box sizes - 12s and 24s.
