In today’s competitive packaging industry, finding a solution that delivers exceptional performance, cost-efficiency, and sustainability is more critical than ever. When it comes to achieving a matte finish, PolyExpert’s polyethylene (PE) printweb emerges as a superior alternative to traditional Machine Direction Oriented (MDO) films. Here’s why PolyExpert’s solution is the smarter choice for your packaging needs.
Understanding MDO Technology and Its Limitations
The MDO (Machine Direction Orientation) process enhances the properties of polyethylene films through controlled stretching during production. This technique offers notable advantages:
- Improved strength and durability
- Enhanced rigidity for better product protection
- Glossy surface
However, gloss is the natural finish of MDO PE films. To achieve a matte appearance, manufacturers must apply an additional lacquering step. While effective, this process:
- Increases production costs
- Adds complexity to manufacturing
- Creates additional environmental impact
For brands seeking a cost-effective, sustainable matte solution, this extra step can be a significant drawback.
PolyExpert Matte PE Printweb: A Superior Alternative
PolyExpert’s matte PE print film eliminates the challenges posed by MDO PE films. With its built-in matte finish, there is no need for lacquering, significantly reducing costs and simplifying production.
The Key Benefits:
- Substantial Cost Savings
Achieve up to 20% or more savings compared to MDO PE film by eliminating the lacquering step. - Effortless Matte Finish
PolyExpert’s matte PE printweb delivers a sleek and uniform matte appearance directly from extrusion, ensuring high-quality aesthetics with no additional processing. - Sustainable Packaging Solution
Laminated to our PE sealant web, PolyExpert’s matte print film creates a recyclable monomaterial structure.- Fully recycle-ready to support circular economy goals
