MDO-PE is also known as uniaxially stretched polyethylene film. It is a high-performance film made from regular polyethylene (PE) film using a unique uniaxial stretching orientation method. As worldwide recyclability criteria for plastic packaging become more stringent, MDO-PE film is fast transitioning from an innovative material to a market standard, indicating one of the most important future development directions in the soft packaging industry.

High Rigidity, High Resilience: When chilled, the film becomes highly stiff and suitable for high-temperature industrial applications. In addition to its great stiffness, the film provides the users with high resilience and power. It can bear the highest weights and temperatures without breaking.
Excellent Printability: Furthermore, the film serves as an effective printing medium for brand signatures, taglines, and company logos. Because of its low weight and thickness, businesses may easily print on it and utilize it for packaging.
Excellent Optical Properties: Users benefit from MDO-PE film's high transparency, glossiness, printability, readability, and other optical characteristics. It boosts the visibility of anything printed on the film and is perfect for branding.
Excellent Die-Cutting Performance: Some films offer amazing optical performance but pose many issues during the cutting process. Well, that is not an issue with this option as it brings amazing die-cutting capabilities to the table.
Outstanding performance: It features high tensile strength, high transparency and high barrier properties.
Recyclability: It is the core material for constructing the "100% PE" recyclable packaging system, perfectly supporting the circular economy.
Thinning and environmental friendliness: It helps achieve lightweighting and reduces plastic usage.
Good downstream processing performance: It has good printing and laminating adaptability.
MDO-PE films, based on their substrate and final use, are mainly used as the base material for single-material recyclable packaging.
This is the most important and promising application of MDO-PE films. In the "full PE structure" of recyclable packaging design, it is usually used as:
Outer printing layer: Instead of traditional PET or BOPP, as it provides the necessary rigidity, glossiness and printing suitability.
Middle barrier layer: Utilizing its enhanced oxygen barrier property, as part of a high-barrier all-PE structure.
Replacing the BOPP//PE structure to achieve 100% recyclability with all-PE.
Providing the required strength and barrier properties.
Requires high rigidity and puncture resistance.
Such as replacement packs for nuts and coffee, using specially formulated MDO-PE.
