MLID is a metallised, heat-sealable, peelable BOPET lidding film. It combines excellent visual appeal with a strong barrier against light, moisture and oxygen. It seals to PP, HIPS, PET, PVC and LDPE containers at low temperatures, and it can replace aluminium foil lids in specific applications. Common uses include:
single-serve yoghurt cups, cheese and butter, sauces, dips and pickles, pharma and cosmetics, energy drinks and packaged drinking water cups, sweets and bakery
MLID is available in 30 microns and 41 microns. The 30 micron grade suits single-serve cups, drinking water cups and high-volume packs. The 41 micron grade adds stiffness and puncture resistance for larger containers, heavier fills and premium presentation.
MLID forms a secure, leak-resistant, tamper-evident seal on the container flange, yet peels off cleanly by hand. Consumers get a hygienic sealed pack and an easy, tool-free opening. This matters for drinking water cups, yoghurt cups and dips that are opened on the go.
MLID gives a much stronger barrier than transparent PET
against:
Light: blocks UV and visible light that cause off-flavours, fat oxidation and colour fading in dairy, butter and oily foods.
Moisture: helps prevent moisture loss or gain.
Oxygen: slows oxidation and helps keep the product fresh.
This extends shelf life and protects taste, aroma and colour.
MLID has a bright, reflective metallic finish that gives
packs a premium, high-end look. Printed over the metallic surface, graphics
appear vivid and eye-catching, helping products stand out on crowded dairy,
confectionery and cosmetic shelves.
Yes. MLID can be printed with brand logos, product details,
batch codes and decorative designs. Printing over the metallised layer produces
a rich, glossy effect. Discuss your print method and ink system with our team
to confirm the best approach.
Yes, in specific applications. MLID gives a similar metallic
look and a strong barrier for products that don't need the absolute barrier of
full aluminium foil. Typical examples are yoghurt cups, drinking water cups,
sauces, dips, sweets and bakery. For highly oxygen-sensitive or very long
shelf-life products, evaluate whether MLID's barrier meets your shelf-life
target.
Lower cost: metallised PET generally uses far less aluminium
than foil.
Lighter weight: reduces packaging material weight and
transport load.
Better puncture and tear resistance: PET is tougher and less
prone to pinholes and cracking.
No foil wrinkling: lids stay flat and neat after sealing.
Low sealing temperature: faster lines and less stress on
thin containers.
Microwaveable: MLID is microwaveable (see Q13), unlike
standard foil lids.
MLID seals to PP, HIPS, PET, PVC and LDPE cups, trays and
containers. This lets packers use one lidding film across different container
materials.
Low sealing temperature brings three practical benefits:
Speed and energy: faster sealing cycles and lower energy use.
Container protection: thin-walled PP, HIPS and PVC cups are
less likely to distort.
Product protection: less heat reaches heat-sensitive
products such as butter, cheese, yoghurt and chocolate-based sweets.
Main applications of MLID lidding film are
Dairy - Single-serve
yoghurt cups, cheese, butter
Condiments- Sauces,
dips, pickles
Beverages - Energy
drinks, packaged drinking water cups and glasses
Pharma- Sealed
cups and containers for pharmaceutical products
Cosmetics - Creams,
gels and personal care tubs and jars
Food - Sweets and
mithai, bakery products
Yes. Single-serve yoghurt and curd cups are a leading MLID
application. The metallised lid blocks light that degrades dairy flavour, gives
a premium look and peels cleanly. It is a popular cost-effective alternative to
aluminium foil lids on high-speed dairy lines.
Yes. MLID seals tubs and cups for cheese spreads, processed
cheese portions, butter and table spreads. The light and moisture barrier helps
prevent rancidity, discolouration and drying out. The metallic finish also
suits premium dairy branding.
Yes. MLID seals jars, tubs and containers for creams, gels,
face packs, hair products and other personal care items. The metallic finish
adds premium shelf appeal, and the seal provides tamper evidence and protection
against light and moisture.
Yes. MLID seals trays and containers for mithai, dry sweets,
cakes, pastries and bakery snacks. The barrier helps keep products fresh, and
the metallic lid gives festive and gift packs a premium look.
HSF-1 (MO) is a metallised, lock-seal (sealable only,
non-peelable) BOPET lidding film. It forms a strong, robust weld seal designed
to stay closed during transit and storage. It is available in thicknesses from
12 to 30 microns. It is used for ambient-storage, long-shelf-life products,
including:
- long-shelf-life dairy and processed cheese
- puddings and desserts
- dry powder mixes
- high-barrier food cups
It is a PET film with an ultra-thin vacuum-deposited
aluminium layer and a heat-seal coating that bonds permanently to the
container. The metallised layer gives a strong barrier against light, moisture
and oxygen. The lock seal gives a weld-strength closure that cannot be peeled
apart by hand. The result is a secure, protective lid for products that must
last a long time on the shelf.
HSF-1 (MO) is the metallised version of HSF-1. It keeps the
same lock-seal, weld-strength closure as the transparent HSF-1 and adds an
opaque metallised layer for barrier protection and a premium metallic look.
HSF-1 (MO) is available in a range of 12 to 30 microns.
- Thinner gauges: high-speed form-fill-seal lines and small
cups where material efficiency matters.
- Thicker gauges: larger cups, heavier fills, powder packs
and lids needing extra stiffness and puncture resistance.
The metallised layer gives much stronger protection than
transparent PET against:
- Light: prevents light-induced off-flavours, fat oxidation,
colour fading and vitamin loss.
- Oxygen: slows oxidation and staling, preserving taste and
aroma.
- Moisture: keeps dry powders free-flowing and stops moist
products from drying out.
Dairy fats, proteins and vitamins such as riboflavin are
highly sensitive to light. Exposure can cause "light-struck"
off-flavours, rancidity and nutrient loss within hours to days. HSF-1 (MO)'s
opaque metallised lid shields long-life dairy and processed cheese from light,
helping preserve taste and quality.
Yes. Because the lid cannot be peeled off and resealed, any
attempt to open the pack leaves clear damage to the lid. This gives visible
tamper evidence and supports consumer trust and product safety.
Yes. HSF-1 (MO) can be custom-printed with brand graphics, product names, nutritional information, batch codes and opening instructions. Printing on a metallised surface gives rich, glossy, eye-catching graphics that help products stand out on ambient shelves.
The Main Application of HSF -1 (MO) are
Long-shelf-life dairy - UHT and long-life dairy cups, flavoured milk cups, dairy creamers
Processed cheese - Cheese portions, cheese spread cups
Puddings and desserts - Shelf-stable puddings, custards,
dessert cups
Dry powder mixes - Instant drink mixes, soup mixes, infant
formula scoops, protein and nutritional powders
High-barrier food cups - Ambient cups needing strong
light, oxygen and moisture protection
Yes. Long shelf-life dairy products stored at ambient
temperature need both a strong barrier and a seal that won't fail. Examples
include long-life milk cups, dairy creamer portions and flavoured dairy drinks.
HSF-1 (MO) delivers both, protecting against light damage and oxidation while
keeping the pack securely sealed.
Yes. HSF-1 (MO) seals processed cheese portions, cheese
spread cups and cheese dips. The metallised barrier protects against light and
oxidation, which cause off-flavours and discolouration in cheese. The weld seal
keeps portions secure through distribution and storage.
Yes. Shelf-stable puddings, custards, rice puddings and dessert cups stored at ambient temperature benefit from HSF-1 (MO)'s barrier and secure seal. The metallic lid also gives dessert brands a premium look.
Yes. Dry powders such as instant drink mixes, soup mixes,
beverage premixes, protein powders and nutritional supplements are highly
sensitive to moisture, which causes caking and loss of flow. HSF-1 (MO)'s
metallised moisture barrier and robust seal help keep powders dry and
free-flowing throughout their shelf life.
HSF-1 (MO) is designed for direct food-contact use.
Compliance certificates and migration reports for regulations such as FSSAI, US
FDA and EU food-contact rules are available on request for your target market.
Yes. HSF-1 (MO) is supplied in reels slit to your line
width, in thicknesses from 12 to 30 microns, with samples available for
sealing, barrier and print trials. Share your machine, container material and
monthly volume for a tailored quote.
HSF-1 (MO) combines:
- a strong weld seal that stays closed through transit and
storage
