Cosmetics & Beauty Packaging

Clear BOPP creates a clean minimal aesthetic that blends seamlessly with transparent containers and premium finishes.

Food, Sauces & Oils

 Oil-proof laminations and strong adhesives maintain clarity and prevent edge lift in greasy environments.

Retail, Logistics & Industrial
