Product Detail
APL‑White is a white‑coloured composite packaging web manufactured via multi‑layer co‑extrusion technology, formulated without EVOH (ethylene‑vinyl alcohol copolymer) in its material composition. The structure is built upon a mono‑polyolefin system (all‑PE or all‑PP), designed on the principle of maximising recyclability through all‑plastic and mono‑material architecture while delivering reliable moisture protection. The product offers brand owners a packaging pathway that reconciles functional barrier performance with environmental regulatory compliance.
Total thickness is configurable within a range of 250 μm to 425 μm, with web width fully customisable per customer requirements. In terms of appearance, the surface whiteness of APL‑White consistently reaches ≥90% as measured in accordance with ISO standards, presenting a soft, uniform white finish. This white substrate not only establishes a distinctive visual identity for brand packaging but also serves as an ideal high‑reflectance backdrop for subsequent print decoration. The material supports a comprehensive suite of printing processes, including letterpress, flexographic, screen, rotogravure, and hot/cold foil stamping, and is fully compatible with high‑speed tube‑forming production lines.
Features
Barrier Performance and Structural Attributes
The moisture‑barrier functionality of APL‑White is achieved through the synergistic cooperation of polyolefin layers within the multi‑ply co‑extruded structure. Although EVOH is not incorporated as an independent barrier layer, the product still attains a water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) as low as 0.5 g/m²·day through optimised layer arrangement and material selection. This level of protection adequately meets the preservation requirements of semi‑liquid foods such as tomato sauce and mustard, as well as personal care products including hair care and body care formulations, under standard storage and distribution conditions.
From a heat‑seal performance perspective, APL‑White employs a PE‑based sealant layer characterised by low‑temperature heat‑seal capability (initiation temperature in the range of 110–130 °C) , delivering consistent seal strength while reducing thermal energy consumption. The lower sealing temperature also minimises film shrinkage in the seal area, contributing to improved finished tube appearance.
Mechanical Performance and Process Compatibility
APL‑White demonstrates well‑balanced mechanical strength attributes. The multi‑layer co‑extruded construction imparts excellent tear resistance and puncture resistance, resulting in low material loss during slitting, tension stretching, and high‑speed tube‑forming operations, with consistently high yield rates. The inherent toughness of the material ensures stable performance on automated packaging lines, effectively minimising process defects such as film rupture or cracking.
In terms of printing and downstream process compatibility, APL‑White exhibits broad adaptability across various printing mechanisms and tube‑forming equipment. Whether processed via flexographic, gravure, letterpress, or screen printing, the surface tension and ink anchorage properties meet the requirements for high‑quality graphic reproduction. The material supports variable information printing including QR codes and anti‑counterfeiting labels, providing a substrate platform for brand protection and digital marketing applications. The surface finish can be supplied in either matte or gloss options to accommodate different brand aesthetics.
Applications
Principal Application Fields
Food packaging-suitable for tube‑packed semi‑liquid condiments such as tomato sauce, mustard, and salad dressings. The white appearance conveys a clean, fresh visual impression, while the moisture‑barrier performance effectively maintains the water balance and textural stability of the contents.
Cosmetics and personal care-applicable to hair care products (shampoos, conditioners) and body care products (body washes, body lotions). The white tube body aligns closely with the pure, gentle image associated with beauty and personal care brands, while providing an ideal base for colour reproduction.
Comprehensive Competitive Advantages
APL‑White delivers tangible value to professional purchasers across sustainability, process economics, and protective functionality:
Superior environmental compliance-mono‑polyolefin material system compatible with existing plastic recycling streams without complex separation; simplified production eliminates drying steps, reducing energy consumption; lightweight construction minimises material usage and lowers life‑cycle carbon emissions.
Excellent processability-streamlined production cycle without pre‑drying requirements; broad equipment compatibility across printing and tube‑forming processes; supports high‑speed production lines; low‑temperature heat sealing (110–130 °C) reduces energy demand while maintaining stable seal strength; high material toughness ensures minimal waste during slitting and stretching, with consistent yield performance.
Combined protection and aesthetics-outstanding moisture resistance with WVTR as low as 0.5 g/m²·day; balanced physical properties including good tear and puncture resistance; surface available in matte or gloss finishes; supports value‑added printing such as QR codes and anti‑counterfeiting labels to enhance brand equity.
APL‑White is a packaging substrate that systematically integrates mono‑material all‑plastic environmental principles with white‑surface aesthetic expression. By delivering reliable moisture protection through multi‑layer co‑extruded structure design without introducing EVOH, it offers brand owners an integrated solution spanning regulatory compliance and visual presentation. For international buyers seeking to balance environmental compliance, cost control, and brand image, APL‑White represents a proven, technically mature, and commercially competitive choice.
