Thermoforming plastic film
Buy thermoforming film wholesale from Optipak
Thermoforming film is a high-tech polymer material used in the production of modern food and industrial packaging. Optipak has been supplying the market with high-quality raw materials for over 10 years, offering competitive terms for those planning to purchase thermoforming film in Ukraine.
As a leading plastic packaging manufacturer, we use modern extrusion lines to create polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), and PET films that meet strict international safety standards.
Technical advantages of Optipak extrusion film
Our thermoforming plastic rolls undergo multi-stage quality control, providing the following benefits for your business:
- Minimal thickness variation: Automated lines ensure precise web geometry, which is critical for the stable, trouble-free operation of thermoforming equipment.
- High transparency and gloss: This is especially important for PET films, where the perfect visual presentation of the packaged product is crucial.
- Thermal stability and formability: The film maintains its physical and chemical properties when heated, ensuring precise shape reproduction without deformation.
- Color options: You can order both transparent and colored film (white, black, or colored) to meet your corporate standards.
Why choose thermoforming film?
Thermoforming food plastic has a number of advantages:
- wear resistance;
- compliance with the standards for safe operation;
- combination of plasticity and strength;
- wide range of shades.
Ease of use and reasonable price allows you to reduce the cost of production of consumable disposable products. This is a key argument for a business related to retail or catering.
The processing technology involves heating the sheet to a plastic state and then shaping it under pressure or vacuum. Because our plastic packaging production uses our own raw materials, we guarantee that the film is ideal for producing cups, lids, trays, and cutlery.
Features, characteristics and applications
Some products are marked PP and PS. This means that the packaging or disposable utensils have been made of food-grade plastic. Such material is harmless for human organism if its manufacturer strictly observed the technological standards. This is exactly the kind of high-quality and safe products offered by our company.
The most widespread technology of food plastic processing is automated thermoforming on special high-tech equipment. A sheet of polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP) is placed in a machine where the raw material is heated, shaped and cut. The output is a finished product – plastic containers, liners, disposable cups or cutlery.
The thickness of polystyrene film varies from 0. 4 to 1. 8 mm, it is best to buy a roll width of 300-800 mm. Diameter of the spool may be different, but always meets the production standards (76, 150, 152 or 200 mm).
The characteristics of the material most often depend on the organization of the molding line in your production and the specification of the equipment. A competent specialist will help you make the right choice.

the most frequently asked questions
-
What polymers do you produce film from and for what purposes is it suitable?
We produce films from polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), and PET, each with its own specific purpose: PET is ideal for transparent trays and blister packaging, polypropylene is for heat-sealable containers and hot products, and polystyrene is excellent for molding disposable tableware and milk containers.
-
What thickness (micron) range is your film available in?
Our production facilities allow us to produce tape in a wide range of thicknesses—from 150 to 1200 µm (microns). This allows us to select the optimal material for both small-size corrugated packaging and deep-drawing large-size rigid containers.
-
Is Optipack film suitable for use on high-speed automatic lines?
Yes, our film has stable geometric parameters and a uniform thickness across the entire roll width, which is critical for the smooth operation of thermoforming machines. We control the coefficient of friction and antistatic properties of the material to prevent products from sticking in the molds.
-
Does the film provide reliable heat sealing with coating materials?
We produce films with a specially adapted top layer that guarantees high adhesion when sealed with foil (plate) or film. This ensures complete hermeticity of the finished package, which is especially important for products with a long shelf life.
-
Is the material safe for direct food contact?
We use only the highest-quality primary raw materials approved for food contact in our production. The safety of these materials is confirmed by sanitary and epidemiological reports and international quality certificates, allowing our film to be used in the food industry without restrictions.
-
How is film quality controlled at your production facility?
Each batch of film is tested in our own laboratory for strength, elasticity, and transparency. We guarantee the absence of foreign inclusions, air bubbles, and color variations, minimizing defects in your production.
