Enable printed, designed for recycling, mono-PE packaging.
It commonly serves as a printing layer and can be converted into all kind of common flexible packaging types like lidding films, flowpacks, doypacks.
Available in transparent and matt, as well as metallised and barrier coated.
Learn about the manufacturing process of CrystalPE.
What is CrystalPE?
CrystalPE is the new generation of mono-oriented Polyethylene (mdoPE) films by adapa.
It commonly serves as a printing layer and can be converted into all kind of common flexible PE packaging like lidding films, flowpacks, doypacks.
Available in transparent, white and matt, as well as metallised and coated.
CrystalPE for different industries:
Developed for our customers’ success, our new generation of PE films offers excellent printability, high heat resistance and outstanding stiffness.
Suitable for different markets, CrystalPE is your go-to packaging solution!
Have a look at how customers switched from PET-based laminates to PE-based alternatives:
Ready to use CrystalPE with confidence? Let's delve into a few scenarios.
Handling in production
Don't be afraid to stress our film! Recommended unwinding tension can be even up to 13 kg for each meter of width, e.g. width 1000mm > 13kg.
Production speed
Let's reach top speed! A worldwide known Italian machine manufacturer used CrystalPE during the ERA (European Rotogravure Association) Packaging & Decorative Conference 2022 to demonstrate the printing capabilities and performance of MDO-PE. Top speed reached: 600 m/min on a 9 colour rotogravure machine.
Convenience for the consumers
Linear-tearing: As the orientation takes place in machine direction an easy-opening function for bags and sachets is no problem, the laminate tears along a line.

CrystalPE vs. BOPE
Better machinability
- Thanks to the higher thermal resistance CrystalPE has a wider sealing window leading to a better machinability on packaging lines.
Less elongation
- The elongation in length is critical for printing machines. The higher tensile strength of crystalPE in machine direction is regarded more beneficial for printing.
Higher barrier properties
- Since the water vapour transmission rate is lower, CrystalPE has superior H2O barrier properties to the tested BOPE.
Easy-tearing
- As the orientation only takes place in machine direction
the easy-tearing function is maintained.

Recommended unwinding tension can be even up to 13Kg for each meter of width, e.g. width 1000mm > 13kg.
Regarding rewinding after printing and lamination, we recommend up to 30% less tension‚ compared to unwinding, helping the film to relax after the process.
