Heat sealable BOPP has been developed which can be sealed directly.
Higher moisture retention properties have helped to replace wax paper for applications such as biscuit wrappers.
Lower gas retention properties.
Lower print quality but lamination is not required.
Lower machinability but not a constraint with the improved packing machines.
Cheaper than BOPET films.
