Labels for pesticides require high strength, durability and clarity over longer period of time, both while in storage and in handling. One of the best materials for this is biaxially oriented polypropylene film.

Biaxially oriented polypropylene film has been developed over the last 20 years and is now often used in place of cellophane and waxed paper. The polymer used during the manufacture process, polypropylene, comes from petroleum, which is safe and energy efficient.

Main advantages of this material include higher tensile strength, greater stiffness, improved optical properties, and is impervious to water and gas.

Because of its superior strength at low gauges, flatness, clarity, light weight and excellent printability, it has become an indispensable packaging material for a wide variety of consumer products including foods, textiles, and stationary. This material also offers superb sealing characteristics for secure packs and good shelf life, avoiding product spoilage and waste.
