Folmi offers specialty films for use in various industries, including food, pharmaceutical, construction, and automotive. Our specialty films are designed to meet unique requirements and specifications, tailored to specific application conditions. Thanks to advanced production technology and flexible film customization, we offer the highest quality products to meet any challenge.
Production Capabilities
Material: Specialty films are manufactured from LDPE, HDPE, MDPE, and LDPE regranulate, which offer excellent strength, flexibility, and resistance to external factors. By using LDPE regranulate, we offer more environmentally friendly solutions while maintaining high quality standards.
Film Width: Our films are manufactured in widths up to 3000 mm, allowing for full customization for a wide range of applications – from covering large surfaces to producing smaller individual packages.
Film Length: We can produce films in lengths up to 3500 mm, enabling adaptation to a variety of applications and production equipment, ensuring optimal operational efficiency.
Film Thickness: Our specialized foils are available in thicknesses ranging from 20 μm to 300 μm, allowing you to tailor the foil strength to your specific requirements – from lightweight, flexible foils to thick, durable protective foils.
Additives
To optimize the functionality of our specialized films, we offer a wide range of additives:
UV – UV protection, which prevents material degradation and extends its shelf life during storage and use in sunlight.
Dyes – the film can be dyed in various colors, supporting product identification and enabling better visual control during production processes.
Anti-block, slip – a special additive that prevents the film from sticking together, making it easier to unwind and speeding up packaging processes.
ESD – antistatic film, which protects products from electrostatic discharge, which is particularly important in the electronics and pharmaceutical industries.
Low-temperature flexibilizer – an additive that ensures the film remains flexible even at very low temperatures (down to -29°C), which is crucial for refrigerated storage and transport.
Flexo printing – the ability to print essential information on the film, such as logos, instructions for use, warnings, or other data, supporting product communication and personalization.
Perforation – perforation allows for better Air circulation, which is beneficial when packaging certain products, such as bulk materials or those requiring ventilation.
Applications
Specialty films offered by Folmi are used in many industries requiring special packaging properties. From protecting food products from contamination, to securing construction materials, to use in precision pharmaceutical and electronics processes, our films meet the highest quality and functional requirements. Our products are tailored to specific customer requirements, making them a reliable solution for anyone requiring films with special parameters.

Order Fulfillment Process
Order confirmation: Once all the details of the order have been agreed, the customer receives a final quotation for approval. Following its approval, the order is formally accepted for processing.
Print design verification: In the case of an order including a print, the customer receives the final graphic design for approval, which, once approved, is sent for production.
Release for production: Once the order has been confirmed and payment verified, the order details go to the production department, which begins the process of planning and execution.
Production of LDPE plastic: LDPE plastic is produced using an extrusion process. LDPE granulate is heated to a high temperature and passed through an extrusion head to produce a long, thin layer of plastic.
Plastic forming: Plastic may be formed in a number of manners as per the order – it may vary in transparency, coloured, thicknesses to match the customer’s specifications.
Preparation for printing: If the order is for printed bags, the production of plastic is followed by the process of flexographic printing. Matrices (printing forms) are prepared as per the customer-approved design.
Printing on plastic: the LDPE plastic is passed through flexographic machines, which apply the print as per the design. This technique allows designs to be printed quickly and precisely in a range of colours.
Cutting and forming of bags: After printing (or without printing), the LDPE plastic is confectioned, i.e. cut and formed into bags as per the dimensions agreed in the order.
Additional elements: At this stage elements such as handles, perforations may be added, depending on the order specifications.
Product packaging: The finished bags are carefully packed in larger packaging such as cardboard boxes or bulk bags to secure them from damage during transport.
Etykietowanie: Każda partia zamówienia otrzymuje odpowiednie oznaczenia i etykiety, które zawierają informacje o produkcie. Dodatkowo dołączane są dokumenty przewozowe i magazynowe.
Transport set-up: The order is forwarded to a courier company. The customer receives a tracking number and information on the expected delivery time.
Shipment tracking: The customer may track the consignment using a tracking system, which allows them to monitor where their order is at any given time.
Delivery of the order: Goods are delivered to the address indicated by the customer within the specified timeframe.
