Packaging and Label
OPP PACKAGES (PRINTED / NON-PRINTED)
Oriente stands for Poly Propylene. OPP is the material that results from the change in functional properties of the plastic as a result of stretching the raw material of polypropylene (PP) from one place during its production. It is a thermoplastic polymer with a very wide usage area. Polypropylene obtained by polymerizing monomerpropylene is extremely resistant to chemical solvents (acids and bases). Two main processes are used in the production of OPP films. These are structure and bubble processes. The extruded polymer in both processes is mechanically stretched, which allows the polymer molecules to come together, machined in the machine direction (MD) and perpendicular to that direction (TD). As a result of these processes, there are significant improvements in the transparency, strength, moisture resistance and low temperature resistance properties of polypropylene. Improving the toughness properties allows the processed films to be thinner. Often used in combination with other films (eg LDPE) for heat sealing. By coating with PVDC (polyvinylidene chloride) or metallized film, its barrier properties can be improved.
Features: It is brighter and more transparent than plastic bags, has high tensile strength during use, They have high optical and mechanical properties, They also have protective properties against chemicals. It can withstand high temperatures but can wrinkle if used roughly. OPP has a low surface holding power. They are the most harmless plastic material in terms of health and they are hygienic since they do not hold dust.
Usage areas : When it comes to plastic packaging, the food industry mainly uses OPP bags or films. High Transparent adhesive tapes are also made using the same formulation. Bags that can be used in product packaging, textile industry, packaging of disposable products in hotels and food packaging are made of OPP. OPP banded bags can be produced in any thickness, laminated and unlaminated, with OPP, PET, PL band, printed or unprinted. These are difficult to tear, and OPP bags are suitable for leather goods, clothing etc. used in packaging.

BOPP PACKAGES (PRINTED / NON-PRINTED)
BOPP is a cross and longitudinal bidirectional stretched film. During the production of Polypropylene (PP), it is called Bioriente PoliPropilen (BOPP). The three most common techniques for making BOPP are the tension frame sequential technique, the simultaneous tension frame direction technique, and the double bubble propulsion technique. In general, the production technique feeds the raw material into the system (extrusion), and the film layers are drawn into the molds evenly in sheet form. Then, longitudinal stretching and stretching process suitable for the process is performed with the help of transverse clips. The film thickness is measured and the surface of the film is smoothed to hold ink.
Features : It shares the properties of other PP plastics, including strength, fatigue resistance, moisture resistance, very low toxicity, flexibility and controllable transparency. Manufacturers can make BOPP clear, opaque, or any transparency in between. It is preferred as a packaging material with its high strength and high quality optical properties.
