What is DuroForm?
Thermoforming films for fresh, frozen and processed food. Forms consistently, seals tight, runs all shift.
DuroForm films are heated and formed into a pocket, filled, and sealed to create vacuum, modified-atmosphere or standard packs. They run on most standard thermoforming equipment across ambient, chilled and frozen supply chains.
The line comes in flexible, semi-rigid and recycle-ready structures. High, medium and no barrier options mean shelf life is specified to the product, rather than one grade being sold for everything.
DuroForm is used for fresh and processed proteins, cheese and dairy, prepared meals, fresh pasta, plant-based proteins, snacks, baked goods and pet food.
Built for performance
Barrier specified to your product
High, medium and no barrier structures, plus breathable films for fresh and smoked fish or fresh poultry that need oxygen permeability.
Strong seals through contamination
Seals hold even with grease, moisture or product in the seal area, which means fewer leakers and less rework.
High clarity
Clear film for product visibility and shelf appeal, in barrier and non-barrier structures.
Consistent forming at high speed
Consistent pocket and tray definition from the start of a run to the end.
Easy-peel or lock-seal opening
Easy-peel film opens cleanly and predictably. Lock seal is for products where protection and shelf life come first.
Registered custom print
Rotogravure and flexographic printing across the full line, including DuroForm RR, with registered print for accurate placement on formed packs.
The DuroForm line
Flexible thermoforming film
The everyday film, for high-speed, high-volume vacuum, MAP and straight-seal production. It forms and seals consistently from one run to the next.
Semi-rigid forming film
Deep-drawn, defined trays that hold their shape through chilled and frozen distribution. An alternative to preformed rigid trays, available up to 40 mil.
Recycle-ready forming film
A mono-material structure built to the Golden Design Rules for retailer sustainability programs, at full clarity and barrier.
Shrinkable thermoforming film
A high-barrier structure designed for automated production, delivering skin-tight, high-clarity packs with less labour and material.

Sustainability
DuroForm supports more sustainable packaging programs without giving up clarity or barrier:
Mono-material structure:
DuroForm RR is built to the Golden Design Rules to meet retailer sustainability requirements.
Designed for recovery:
Conventional laminated films combine several plastics, which makes them hard to process in current recycling facilities. DuroForm RR is designed for recovery in existing streams.
Less material than rigid trays:
DuroForm SR uses less material per pack than preformed trays and lowers transport and storage costs.
Recycle-ready means the structure is designed for recovery in existing recycling streams. Actual recyclability depends on local collection and processing infrastructure.
One line. Every thermoforming application.
