UPM Raflatac Raflex PRO conformable film

For high transparency on contoured and semisqueezable containers, UPM Raflatac has introduced Raflex PRO — a flexible film for applications where polypropylene (PP) would be too rigid.

Films retain their functionality, stability and visual appeal even when exposed to humidity, water, chemicals, grease, oil or UV light, giving them an advantage over paper label faces. The traditional choices have been PP for transparency or polyethylene (PE) for flexibility, with a compromise needed to choose between their different strengths.

The film combines the best properties of PP and PE in a single material — offering both conformability and high transparency for a wide variety of containers.

For applications where PP would be too rigid, the film gives a high-quality, no-label look for contoured and semisqueezable containers, combining an ultraclear, high-gloss finish with good conformability. It is suitable for home, personal care, food and beverage applications, offering chemical resistance and stability even in challenging conditions. The film is as thin and light as PP and supports good print results even without a topcoat.
