Soft Fruit Lidding Film: Starbarrier GPE CL AF 18PET by Camvac Rockwell
.
Starbarrier GPE CL AF 18PET has been introduced as a next generation mono material lidding film designed to help food producers cut plastic, streamline operations and improve consumer experience. The film launches at a time when retailers and brand owners are demanding both reduced environmental impact and more reliable pack performance.
.
Engineered as a lightweight 18µ PET solution, Starbarrier GPE CL AF delivers clean, consistent peelability – addressing long standing issues with traditional multi layer laminates that often tear or leave residue on trays. Early adopters report that the film peels off in one piece, maintains strong yet controlled seal integrity and improves burst strength across fresh and frozen applications.
.
A key advantage is its universal sealing capability. Starbarrier GPE CL AF can be sealed to aluminium, polypropylene and emerging paperboard tray formats, allowing producers to consolidate SKUs and prepare for future shifts toward fibre based packaging. This versatility also supports smoother line performance, with improved dwell times and more stable sealing.
.
As brands continue to push for lower impact packaging, Starbarrier GPE CL AF 18PET positions itself as a practical, scalable step toward mono material systems – offering measurable reductions in plastic use while enhancing the overall functionality of lidding films.
