Overview

What Makes Ester Stand Out

Available in both non-retort and retort variants, with excellent barrier properties.
Films are available in a range of 12 to 30 microns to suit various application needs.
With carefully controlled moisture and oxygen barriers, offering superior protection
Multiple variants, including PVDC-coated and non-PVDC options for low- to high-barrier performance

The Benefits You Gain

Excellent moisture and oxygen barrier properties enhance shelf life and product integrity.
Suitable for both retort and non-retort applications, providing flexibility across various packaging needs.
Non-PVDC films offer a better balance between barrier performance and recyclability, making them a more environmentally friendly option.
