Slitting Pearlized Film for Flexible Packaging

Pearlized or pearlescent films are often used in packaging and decorative applications. The presence of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and pearlite pigment serves to achieve the desired visual (white, opaque and pearlescent appearance) and performance characteristics.

Very popular is pearlized BOPP with the mechanical foaming method lowering the density of the film structure.

The film is abrasive due to the presence of CaCO3, so it's crucial to choose slitting tools and parameters that can withstand such abrasion.
