Rolls

Efficient, customizable packaging for high-volume production lines and high-speed packaging.

Rolls (also called roll stock) are continuous plastic films wound on a core, used mainly in automatic packaging machines, such as VFFS (vertical form fill seal) and HFFS (horizontal form fill seal) systems.
These machines form the package directly from the roll, fill it with product, and seal it in a single continuous process.

At Graflex, we manufacture single-layer, laminated, and bi-laminated rolls in different materials, thicknesses, formats, and widths, with or without printing, tailored to your processes, products, and volumes.

Rolls vs. Preformed Bags

Unlike preformed bags, which come already cut, sealed, and ready for manual or semi-automatic filling, rolls allow you to form the package at the time of filling, offering multiple advantages for more dynamic and efficient processes.

KEY ADVANTAGES

Cost optimization for high-volume runs.

Higher production speed, ideal for automated plants.

Less material waste by working with exact machine-specific dimensions.

Versatile structures, from simple materials to multi-laminates.

Compatibility with multiple packaging technologies (heat, vacuum, gas flushing, etc.).

Customizable designs, with matte, glossy, or metallized finishes.

COMMON APPLICATIONS

Rolls are ideal for packaging products such as:

Chemicals, detergents, supplements, or hygiene products.

Snacks, chips, fried snacks, and cookies.

Granola, cereals, legumes, and dry goods.

Coffee, spices, seasonings.

Frozen or partially prepared foods.

How do you choose the ideal type of roll?

At Graflex, we help you select the best combination of materials, thickness, seal type, and visual presentation, based on the specific needs of your product and process:

  • Do you need a high barrier against moisture or oxygen?
  • Does your packaging need to withstand heat or freezing?
  • Is your product filled at high speed or manually?
  • Are you looking for recyclable packaging or a lower environmental footprint?
