A new biodegradable, 3-layer co-extruded film (EOF3) for mail order fulfillment applications has been launched. This new line of EarthAware™ bag film material is made of a unique blend of resins that offer superior sealing, strength and security and is offered by Automated Packaging Systems.
EOF3 mailbags contain a proprietary additive that causes biodegradation of the poly in 9 months to 5 years, depending on exposure conditions. Durability and bag shelf life are not affected until the film comes in contact with biodegrading material found in landfills and home or commercial composting operations. The co-extruded film has a flat white exterior finish that is ideal for label adhesion or thermal transfer imprinting of address and bar code information directly onto the bag. EOF3 bags have heavy duty, reinforced side seals that protect against splitting during loading and loss of goods in transit. A unique perforation design and patented ProGap™ feature guarantee reliable and consistent bag opening with better productivity and less waste.
