BOPP Pearlized Film vs. Other BOPP Films – How to Choose
When selecting the right BOPP film for your project, it helps to compare pearlized BOPP with other common BOPP types:
- Gloss BOPP Film – Clear, high-gloss film used as a general-purpose outer web for printed laminates where transparency and clarity are important.
- Matte BOPP Film – Low-gloss, matte surface designed for premium labels, book covers and luxury packaging that require a soft, non-reflective look.
- Metallized BOPP Film – BOPP with a vacuum-deposited aluminum layer, used for snacks, coffee and confectionery where barrier and metallic shine are needed.
- Pearlized BOPP Film – White opaque, low-density cavitated film with a pearl effect, best for ice cream, candy wraps, soaps and wrap-around labels where high opacity and brand impact matter.
If you are not sure which BOPP type fits your application, our team can compare options like gloss, matte, metallized and pearlized BOPP based on your product, machine and budget, and recommend a balanced structure.
Ordering & Customization Checklist for BOPP Pearlized Film
To prepare an accurate quotation, it is helpful if you can provide the following details:
Must-have information (for a fast and precise quote):
- End use: ice cream bars, candy, soap, wrap-around labels, etc.
- Film thickness and width you are using now (or target range, e.g. 20–25 μm, 500–1,200 mm).
- Single-layer film or laminated structure (for example, Pearlized BOPP/VMCPP or PET/Pearlized BOPP).
- Heat-seal requirement: single-side or double-side sealable, seal strength and sealing temperature window if available.
- Approximate monthly or yearly consumption and delivery terms (FOB or CIF, destination port).
If you are not familiar with all technical parameters, you can still send an enquiry. Just tell us:
- What product you want to pack and which market you are targeting.
- Photos or a physical sample of your current packaging (roll or finished bag) if available.
- The type of packing machine (HFFS/VFFS, speed range, any special requirements).
- Problems you are facing now, such as poor print coverage, see-through, weak seals or film breaking.
Our engineers will recommend a suitable pearlized BOPP grade and structure for you, then confirm all technical details together before mass production.
Why Choose CloudFilm BOPP Pearlized Film
1. Strong shelf impact with pearl appearance
CloudFilm’s BOPP pearlized film combines a bright white background with a soft pearlescent effect, helping your ice cream, candy, soap and label designs stand out on crowded shelves. The film provides high opacity to hide product color and print overlap while keeping graphics clean and consistent.
2. Lightweight, low-density structure for cost saving
With a typical density around 0.76 g/cm³, our cavitated pearlized BOPP delivers more square meters of film per kilogram than standard clear BOPP. This helps converters and brand owners reduce packaging cost without sacrificing stiffness, opacity or premium appearance.
3. Stable printing and packaging performance
The film is designed for gravure, flexo and digital printing with controlled slip and consistent heat-seal behavior. It runs smoothly on high-speed horizontal and vertical FFS machines, whether you use it as a mono-layer ice cream wrap or as an outer web in laminated structures.
4. Reliable supply and food-contact support
As a specialized flexible packaging film manufacturer, CloudFilm offers stable production, clear lead times and flexible order quantities. We can provide food-contact documentation and test reports on request, and our technical team is available to help you match the right pearlized BOPP grade to your product, machine and market requirements.
