Rollstock Film Guide
Rollstock film is flexible packaging supplied on rolls for automated filling, wrapping, lidding, or form-fill-seal production.
Rollstock film should be specified around the filling machine first, including web width, repeat length, unwind direction, sealant layer, thickness, coefficient of friction, barrier, print, and roll dimensions.
TL;DR
- Machine specs are more important than generic film descriptions.
- Sealant and COF affect speed, jams, and seal reliability.
- Barrier and print choices should match product risk and shelf channel.
Decision table
| Spec | Why it matters | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Web width | Machine fit | Allowed tolerance |
| Repeat length | Print registration | Cutoff and artwork |
| Sealant | Seal integrity | Temperature window |
| COF | Line handling | Film travel and speed |
