In a packaging world driven by convenience, safety, and user experience, easy peel films have become indispensable. These films offer a secure seal when packaging products, but at the same time let consumers open packages cleanly and effortlessly. For food, medicine, and industrial packaging, selecting the right easy peel film can make a big difference in performance, cost, and brand perception. When you partner with Ikon Multipack, you get expertly engineered easy peel packaging films that deliver on strength, seal integrity, and peelability. Below, we explore the materials, applications, and benefits of these films — and how to choose the right one for your needs.

What Is an Easy Peel Film?

An easy peel film is a co-extruded, multi-layer plastic film designed to form a seal that is strong during storage and transport yet peels away cleanly when opened. At Ikon Multipack, our easy peel films are specially formulated to balance peel strength with durability, providing the required “easy peelability” for applications such as lid seals and trays. 

Core Materials in Ikon Multipack Easy Peel Films

Choosing the correct easy peel film requires understanding the base materials and how they influence performance. Here’s a breakdown of commonly used materials in Ikon Multipack’s offerings:

• PP-Based Easy Peel Film
  • Polypropylene (PP) provides excellent heat resistance and mechanical strength. In Ikon’s films, the PP-based easy peel structure is often cohesive-peel type, meaning the peel force comes from cohesive properties rather than strong adhesive. 
  • These films are suitable for dry lamination and can handle boiling or semi-retort conditions (around 120 °C) for food applications. 
  • PP-based peel films are especially useful when selling PP trays or containers, such as ready-to-eat meals or dairy products.
• PE-Based Easy Peel Film
  • Polyethylene (PE)-based easy peel films from Ikon Multipack are available in variants designed for both dry lamination and PE extrusion lamination. 
  • These films provide flexibility, good sealing strength, and reliable peel behavior in different packaging lines.
• PP-to-PP Easy Peel Film
  • Ikon Multipack also produces PP to PP easy peel films that bond PP trays with lids, delivering airtight yet peelable seals. 
  • These films come in a multilayer structure, sometimes with barrier options for oxygen and moisture. 
  • The peel strength is adjustable (typically between 1.0 to 3.0 N/15 mm), making the opening experience consistent and safe. 
• Barrier Easy Peel Film
  • For applications that require product protection from gases, moisture, or aromas, Ikon Multipack offers barrier easy peel films. 
  • These are multilayer films with specialized sealant layers plus barrier materials (e.g., EVOH) to block oxygen and moisture. 
  • Key technical details cover adjustable peel force, a thickness range of 30 to 150 microns, and strong performance with substrates such as PP, PE, and PET.
  • These films are suitable for a wide temperature range — from frozen and chilled to hot-fill or microwave-compatible packaging. 
  • They also offer eco-friendly versions, with recyclable options. 

Advantages of Using Easy Peel Film

Choosing a well-designed easy-peel packaging film from Ikon Multipack adds multiple functional advantages, improving both the packaging experience and overall user convenience. Here are the key advantages:

• Improved Consumer Experience
  • The “easy peel” design ensures that packaging opens smoothly, without tearing or leaving jagged edges. 
  • This ease of opening is especially important in food packaging: users can access their product without spills or mess.
• Reliable Seal Integrity
  • Even though the film peels off cleanly, the seal is strong and reliable during production, transit, and in storage. 
  • This balance prevents leaks, protects against contamination, and preserves freshness.
• Versatility Across Applications
  • As noted, Ikon Multipack’s easy peel films serve multiple industries — food, pharma, electronics — without compromising performance. 
  • Their multilayer construction can be customized (thickness, barrier, clarity) for a wide variety of packaging needs.
• Temperature Compatibility
  • Certain easy peel films from Ikon Multipack (especially PP-based) handle elevated temperatures like boiling or semi-retort processes, giving them utility in heat-treated or sterilized products. 
  • Barrier easy peel films are compatible with frozen, chilled, and even microwave-compatible applications. 
• Sustainability
  • Ikon Multipack is committed to sustainability; their easy peel films can be recyclable, reducing environmental impact. 
  • They invest in eco-friendly manufacturing and design, helping brands meet both performance and green-packaging goals. 
• Customization and Flexibility
  • Ikon Multipack offers tailored peel strength, multi-layer structures, and various film widths/thicknesses to suit specific packaging lines and product needs. 
  • They also support different barrier options when needed, giving flexibility in preserving product quality

Common Misconceptions About Easy Peel Film

While easy peel films seem simple in concept, several myths or misunderstandings commonly arise. Let’s debunk a few:

• Myth 1: Easy Peel Means Weak Seal
  In reality, with the right multilayer design, easy peel films provide excellent seal strength during storage. Ikon Multipack’s films are engineered to deliver both a reliable seal and a clean peel. 
• Myth 2: Easy Peel Is Only for Food
  While food packaging is a major use case, easy peel films are also used in pharmaceuticals, electronics, industrial components, and more. 
• Myth 3: Peel Films Can’t Be Recyclable
  Thanks to modern design and polymer science, many peel films from Ikon Multipack are recyclable or made with sustainability in mind. 
• Myth 4: All Easy Peel Films Are the Same
  Not true. There is huge variation — from PP-based to PE-based, from non-barrier to barrier, from low-temperature peel to high-temperature retort-resistant peel. Choosing incorrectly can lead to performance issues or product damage.
