OEM / ODM
Customization Options
Custom PLA/PBAT ratio from 30:70 to 70:30 for application-specific optimization. Custom width (25–60cm), length (100–500m), core diameter. Custom printing on film. Bulk and retail packaging options. MOQ 500 kg for custom production.
FACTORY CAPABILITIES
Esinle OEM Capabilities
The selected format can be reviewed against these Guangzhou manufacturing capabilities. Final feasibility, tolerances and MOQ are confirmed in the approved specification.
Custom Dimensions
Width, gusset depth and length can be reviewed against your packaging-line requirements and converting limits.
Printing & Branding
Flexographic artwork, colour count, print coverage and plate requirements are checked before MOQ and pricing are confirmed.
In-House Compounding
PLA, PBAT and starch blend options are selected around flexibility, strength, processing and the documented claim required for the SKU.
BEHIND EVERY PRODUCT
Integrated production in Guangzhou
The workflow covers compounding, film blowing, printing and bag conversion, with the order specification used as the reference for in-process and final checks.
USE CASES
Applications
Automated Food Packaging Lines
High-speed wrapping of fresh produce, bakery, and prepared foods — drop-in replacement for PVC on existing automated lines
Industrial Food Processing
Bulk ingredient wrapping, pallet stabilization for food shipments, and process-intermediate protection in compostable film
Premium Food Service Distribution
The highest-performance compostable cling film for distributors serving demanding commercial kitchen clients
HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
Heat seal initiation at 95°C — verify compatibility with existing heat seal equipment as some PVC films seal at lower temperatures (80–85°C). Not suitable for applications requiring barrier performance beyond OTR 380 cc/m²/day (e.g., modified atmosphere packaging). The 50:50 blend is optimized for 20–30°C use; performance at extreme temperatures (< 5°C or > 40°C) may vary.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do you achieve PVC-equivalent performance in a compostable film?
Through 18 months of iterative formulation development testing 40+ PLA/PBAT blend ratios with different processing conditions. The 50:50 ratio achieves a synergistic effect — PLA provides the crystalline structure for film stiffness and clarity, while PBAT provides the amorphous domains for elasticity and cling. The blown film extrusion parameters (blow-up ratio, frost line height, draw-down ratio) were optimized specifically for this blend to achieve balanced machine-direction and transverse-direction properties.
Can this replace PVC on high-speed automated wrapping lines?
Yes. This film has been production-tested on Ilapak Delta 3000 and Ulma Atlanta flow wrappers at 60+ packs per minute with seal integrity and film tracking comparable to PVC. Key parameters: consistent unwind tension (±5% across roll), COF (coefficient of friction) optimized for stainless steel forming shoulders, and heat seal initiation at 95°C with a 20°C sealing window.
What is the price premium compared to PVC?
The PLA+PBAT blend is approximately 20–25% more expensive per roll than PVC at equivalent gauge. However, this premium is narrowing as PLA and PBAT resin production scales globally. Many food processors find the premium offset by: (a) regulatory compliance in markets banning PVC food packaging, (b) reduced waste disposal costs (compostable film can go to organics stream), and (c) brand marketing value.
