No one wants to end up with roll stock film that does not meet your specific requirements causing you to waste money and time. Today, we will explore how to choose the right roll stock film by providing an overview of film types, materials used in manufacturing for optimal shelf life, and how to apply the available film size specification to your rollstock machine and packaging priorities.

Purchasing roll stock film can be stressful as this line of food packaging is generally more expensive due to the function of the fully automatic machinery to produce packages at a large quantity. Contrary to the process of choosing the right bags for chamber vacuum seal machines, you are purchasing entire rolls that are much more expensive. Therefore, being aware of the available rollstock film options will make the road to finding suitable supplies easier and allow you to apply them to the specifications of your individual packaging experiences. Furthermore, become educated on the product materials so you can judge for yourself what best fits the quality you demand!
Forming film is located at the infeed end of your rollstock machine. According to its name, forming film goes through the process of re-shaping into pockets for the food to be placed using heat and air compression. Forming films are occasionally called flexible packaging films, but are not synonymous.
Easy-to-peel films are an alternative to non-forming films. They are manufactured to be easily peeled from the bottom forming-film layer. A peeling layer divider set is required to accomplish this. So when the seal plate lowers, it seals across the corner. Now the packaging is suited to open easily!
We are proud to claim every confidence in providing top-quality rollstock film packaging materials with the appropriate variety of options. Why? We have been specializing in vacuum packaging since . With over 52 years of ever-growing knowledge and experience, our packaging products have been constructed and refined, producing form fill seal supplies that are customized based on the request of our customers.
Our rollstock films are manufactured with the perfect 9-layer, co-extruded composition to meet all your food packaging priorities. Co-extrusion is a process where multiple layers are pressed together into one to create a laminar structure to produce all of the features necessary for superior puncture resistance and barrier properties to maximize shelf life.
Superior oxygen and moisture barriers
Excellent sealing properties
Fewer blowouts with our proprietary formula
Film remains flexible even during deep-freeze temperatures due to the “Soft Feel” property
EVOH (ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer) is found in all our high barrier films and will work with most any packaging application. If shelf life is not of great concern or if all your products are being sold frozen then you may want to consider a medium barrier film. These films are considerably less expensive because they do not contain the costly EVOH layer.
Forming Films: Typically constructed of Polypropylene, EVOH (high barrier), and polyethylene
Non-Forming Films: Typically constructed of Nylon, EVOH (high barrier), and polyethylene
Custom Printed Film: Typically constructed of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and polyethylene

At the initial purchase of your rollstock machine, your manufacturer should provide a film spec that describes the film sizes and tolerances appropriate for your machine. The roll web and diameter are the essential dimensions for selecting the film size. The film spec displays the web specified to match the web width of your machine with a range of +/- 1 or 2 mm.
Chances are, you have already determined the correct film size for your rollstock packaging machine. Whatever the film specifications are for your machine, JVR Industries provides standard and custom web widths to fit your requirements. However, as a general rule, we highly recommend you request a test roll to ensure compatibility if you plan to transition to any new film supplier.
We carry 4-9 mil forming film as JVR Industries focuses more on flexible packaging applications. However, JVR can also supply customers with semi-rigid and rigid film structures. When choosing the thickness that fits your needs consider the following factors:

With a DTF printer, you have the power to transform ordinary garments, accessories, and more into works of art with a minimal workspace.

Unlike other printing methods that require complex setups, excessive supplies and technical expertise, DTF printing offers a clean and user-friendly experience. With a few easy to follow steps you're able to create custom garments with ease.
The process begins with preparing your design. From single color to multi-colors, the DTF printer can turn it into a ready-to-press heat transfer Simply upload your design to the printer's software, and watch it create a high quality film transfer.
Once your design is ready, it's time to transfer it onto the transfer film. The DTF printer applies a special ink onto the film. The film acts as a medium, holding your creation until it's ready to be transferred onto the final surface.
After printing, application of a special adhesive powder is required for it to adhere to the garment during the heat transfer process. After the film is prepped with the print and powder, lastly it just needs to be cured.
