Rigid thermoformed film

In almost all cases, rigid film is used as the bottom layer. Rigid film is only suitable for gas-flushed packaging.

Examples include packaging for diced bacon and sliced cheese. Examples of rigid thermoformed film include APET, with PE as the sealing medium.

APET can be produced with a high EVOH oxygen barrier or with a peelable layer.

In these cases, the top film is not rigid, but flexible and clear. Several variations are possible in this configuration. A rigid top film is also possible in some cases.
