BOPA Film Series
BOPA film offers high-quality solutions in the packaging field due to its outstanding mechanical strength, efficient gas and moisture barrier properties, excellent transparency and gloss, and good chemical and thermal stability. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for packaging food, pharmaceuticals, and industrial products.
BOPA film offers outstanding tensile strength and puncture resistance, making it suitable for heavy, sharp or bone-in products that would easily pierce ordinary films.
Thanks to its dense polyamide structure, BOPA film provides excellent barrier to oxygen, aromas and many chemicals, especially when combined in PA/PE, PE PA PE or PA/AL/PE laminates.
The high transparency and gloss of BOPA film enhance the visual quality of products, aiding in sales.
BOPA film maintains stable performance across a wide temperature range and is often used in retort, pasteurization and deep-freeze applications when correctly laminated.

BOPA Film Applications
Food & Vacuum Packaging
BOPA and PA-based films are widely used for vacuum-packed meat, bone-in cuts, sausages, cheese, frozen seafood and ready-to-eat meals. Typical structures include PA/PE and PE PA PE Film, which combine strong puncture resistance with high oxygen barrier to keep products fresh for longer.
Pharmaceutical & Medical Packaging
Thanks to its strength and barrier performance, BOPA film is a reliable choice for pharmaceutical and medical packaging, such as medical device pouches, diagnostic reagent bags and sterile barrier systems. In many cases, BOPA is laminated with PE or aluminum foil in PA/PE or PA/AL/PE structures to balance toughness, sealability and sterilization requirements.
Electronics & Industrial Components
For electronic components, batteries and other sensitive industrial parts, BOPA film provides moisture and gas barrier together with strong mechanical protection. It is often combined with anti-static layers such as CPP Anti Static Film to prevent ESD damage during storage and transport.
Chemical & Detergent Packaging
In the chemical and detergent industry, BOPA-based laminates deliver both chemical resistance and leak prevention. Structures like PA/PE and PA/AL/PE are used for liquid detergents, agrochemicals and industrial concentrates, helping to avoid pinholes, breaks and contamination during distribution.
FAQ
Q1: What is BOPA film and why is it also called nylon film?
A: BOPA (Biaxially Oriented Polyamide) film is a nylon-based film stretched in both machine and transverse directions. This orientation process gives it high strength, toughness and excellent gas barrier properties, so it is often called nylon film in the packaging industry.
Q2: What are the typical applications of BOPA film?
A: BOPA film is widely used for vacuum-packed and retortable foods such as meat, sausages, cheese, frozen seafood, sauces and pet food. It is also used in pharmaceutical, medical, electronics and chemical packaging where high puncture resistance and barrier are required.
Q3: What laminate structures commonly use BOPA or PA-based films?
A: Common structures include PA/PE, PE PA PE, PA/AL/PE and PA/EVOH/PE. These laminates combine nylon’s toughness and oxygen barrier with PE’s sealability and processability, and sometimes aluminum or EVOH layers for extra barrier.
Q4: What thickness range can CloudFilm supply for BOPA and PA/PE films?
A: Typical BOPA and PA/PE structures fall in the 40–150 μm range in total thickness. If you share your current structure or target, CloudFilm can match or optimize the thickness for your line and shelf-life needs.
Q5: Is BOPA film suitable for retort and high-temperature sterilization?
A: Yes, many BOPA-based laminates such as PA/AL/PE and certain PA/PE or PE PA PE films are designed for retort or pasteurization, as long as the full structure (inks, adhesives, seal layer) is correctly selected. Please tell us your retort temperature and time so we can recommend a suitable construction.
Q6: When should I choose BOPA instead of BOPET or BOPP?
A: Choose BOPA when your main challenges are puncture resistance, flex-crack resistance and deep vacuum, especially for bone-in meat, sharp products or dense liquids. BOPET is preferred for stiffness and high temperature resistance, while BOPP is ideal when moisture barrier and lower density at lower cost are the key drivers.
Q7: Are CloudFilm BOPA films food-contact safe and can you provide documentation?
A: Yes. Our BOPA and PA/PE films are produced under strict quality control, and food-contact documentation and related test reports can be provided for specific grades and batches on request.
Q8: Can CloudFilm supply only film rolls, or also printed and laminated films?
A: We can supply plain BOPA film rolls, PA/PE and PE PA PE co-extruded films, as well as printed and laminated materials such as packaging film rolls for form-fill-seal lines and custom pouches through our flexible packaging partners.
Q9: What is the usual MOQ and lead time for BOPA film?
A: Typical MOQ for BOPA or PA/PE films starts from around 1–2 tons per thickness or structure, depending on the specification. Lead time depends on thickness, width, structure and shipping plan, but we can usually arrange trial rolls relatively quickly for your line tests.
Q10: I am not familiar with BOPA or nylon film. How should I send an inquiry?
A: You don’t need to know every technical detail. Just share what product you want to pack, your bag type or packaging format, your current structure (if any), and the main problems you want to solve. CloudFilm will recommend suitable BOPA films and structures and prepare a clear proposal for you.
BOPA vs BOPET vs BOPP – Quick Selection Guide
- Choose BOPA (nylon) when you need very high puncture resistance, toughness and flex-crack resistance – for example vacuum meat, bone-in cuts, liquid pouches, pet food, sauces and high-impact industrial bags.
- Choose BOPET film when stiffness, dimensional stability and high temperature resistance are critical, such as lidding, retort pouches, ovenable packs, labels and photovoltaic backsheets.
- Choose BOPP film or BOPE film when you want cost-effective moisture barrier, low density and good clarity for snacks, confectionery, bakery, labels and overwrap applications.
