What is Lidding Film？

Lidding film,also called Sealing Cover Film.Lidding film is a specialized type of flexible packaging material used primarily to seal the top of rigid or semi-rigid containers like trays, cups, bowls, or pots. Its main purpose is to create a secure, protective seal over the container's opening.

Here's a breakdown of its key aspects:

1.  Primary Function: Sealing & Protection:

       Barrier Properties: It acts as a barrier against oxygen, moisture, light, dust, microbes, and contaminants, significantly extending the shelf life of the packaged product (especially important for food).

       Containment: Prevents leaks and spills.

       Tamper Evidence: Provides a visible seal that shows if the package has been opened or tampered with.

2.  Key Features & Benefits:

       Versatility: Works with various container shapes and sizes.

       Material Options: Made from multi-layer laminates or co-extrusions, often including:

           Polyester (PET): For strength, clarity, and printability.

           Polyethylene (PE) or Polypropylene (PP): For heat sealability and flexibility.

           Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) or Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC): As high-barrier layers against oxygen.

           Aluminum Foil: For ultimate barrier against light, oxygen, and moisture (common for long shelf-life products).

       Sealability: Designed to be heat-sealed onto the rim (flange) of the container using specialized lidding machines.

       Convenience: Can be engineered for features like:

           Easy-Peel: Allows consumers to peel the film back easily without tools.

           Resealability: Some films allow re-adhesion after initial opening.

           Peelable/Non-Peelable: Depending on the application.

       Printability: Excellent surface for high-quality graphics, branding, product information, and barcodes.

       Transparency/Opaqueness: Can be clear (to showcase the product) or opaque (for light protection or branding).

What are the application scenarios of Liding film?

Lidding film serves as a versatile sealing solution across diverse industries, ensuring product freshness, safety, and convenience.
In food packaging, it forms an indispensable barrier for various products. For dairy items like yogurt cups and cottage cheese tubs, the film maintains product integrity while preventing spillage.
In ready meals, microwaveable trays with lidding film allow users to heat food directly, eliminating the need for transfer.
Fresh produce such as salads and fruit cups rely on it to extend shelf life by blocking external contaminants. Meat, poultry, and seafood trays are sealed with lidding film to preserve freshness and prevent leakage, while pet food trays benefit from its airtight seal to maintain flavor. It also suits soups, sauces, dips, and baked goods, offering protection and ease of use.

Beyond food, lidding film plays a crucial role in pharmaceutical packaging, such as blister packs for medications and diagnostic kits, ensuring sterility and safety. In medical device packaging, it acts as a sterile barrier for trays and kits, maintaining hygiene during storage and transport. For electronics, the film protects sensitive components from dust and moisture, while in industrial packaging, it seals parts or chemicals to prevent contamination. Its adaptability to various shapes makes it ideal for boxed cover films of milk tea, soy milk, jelly, poultry, seafood, marinated products, and more, proving its essential role in modern packaging solutions.

Food Packaging: The most widespread use.

           Dairy (yogurt cups, cottage cheese tubs)

           Ready meals (microwaveable trays)

           Fresh produce (salads, fruit cups)

           Meat, poultry, and seafood trays

           Pet food trays

           Soups, sauces, dips

           Baked goods

Pharmaceutical Packaging: Blister packs, diagnostic kits, specimen containers.

Medical Device Packaging: Sterile barrier for trays/kits.

Electronics Packaging: Protecting sensitive components.

Industrial Packaging: Sealing parts or chemicals.

How it Lidding Film Works :

1. The container is filled.

2. A sheet or reel of lidding film is positioned over the container opening.

3. Heat and pressure are applied (via a sealing bar) to the flange area.

4. The heat-sealable layer melts and bonds with the material of the container flange, creating a hermetic seal.

5. Excess film may be trimmed.

Lidding Film can be used with box-type MAP fully automatic continuous atmosphere packaging

machine, box-type stretch film sealing packaging machine, and vertical packaging box

packaging machine.

Benefits Over Other Sealing Methods:

Cost-Effective: Generally less material than a full flexible pouch.

Product Visibility: Clear options showcase the product.

High-Speed Automation: Ideal for modern filling lines.

Protection: Excellent barrier options available.

Consumer Appeal: Attractive printing and convenient features like easy-peel.

The Sealing Cover Film product is printed in ten colors, and the ink colors are realistic and beautiful. Unlike

the traditional manual labeling method, the sealing film can save a lot of manual operation time, improve production efficiency, and reduce the production cost of the enterprise. Sealing Cover Film is suitable for boxed cover films of various shapes.
