Multi-Layered Barrier Films

SunPro® Multi-layer barrier films are flexible films that prevent water, oxygen, light and other elements from entering or exiting a product’s packaging. Multi-layer barrier films are used in various flexible packaging applications including:

• Reduce the need for preservatives
• Provide transparency and gloss
