Toppan Launches Hybrid Manufacturing of BOPP and BOPE Films

Japan's Toppan and its India-based subsidiary Toppan Speciality Films Private Limited (TSF), have installed a hybrid manufacturing line capable of producing both biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film and biaxially-oriented polyethylene (BOPE) on the same machine. With an extensive track record in the production of BOPP films, TSF is now launching production of BOPE on the new line to cater to diversifying demand.

TSF will begin mass production on the new hybrid line from mid-November this year, supplying BOPP and BOPE films to packaging converters and global brand owners in sectors such as food and FMCG in India and throughout the world.

With the introduction of the new line, the Toppan Group aims to meet increasing global demand by enhancing supply capacity for its wide-ranging film solutions—including both BOPP and BOPE mono-material film substrates—and to expand TSF’s film production capacity by approximately 40%.
