Triflex T-LID - top lidding film sealing on PE liner on paper/cardboard

ITP presents Triflex, an innovative range of coextruded, bi‑oriented high‑barrier films developed through a cutting‑edge production technology that marks a new era in food packaging: thinner, lighter films with a reduced carbon footprint.
T‑Lid is the high‑barrier lidding film of the Triflex line. It is a coextruded film based on PE, PA and EVOH, specifically designed for top‑lidding applications, without the need for lamination with bi‑oriented films. Thanks to its dedicated production technology, it offers both very high rigidity and mechanical strength, combined with remarkable transparency and gloss. The film also contains an antifog additive.
Choosing Triflex bi‑oriented high‑barrier films means accessing the highest quality available on the market, the result of the technological expertise and know‑how that ITP has developed over more than 50 years in plastic film production using the blown‑film extrusion process.
The Triple Bubble® technology gives Triflex films three major advantages:

Monofilm: their coextruded structure provides high mechanical and functional properties without the need for lamination.
Lightweight: their thickness is reduced by 30% compared to laminated films, making them lighter and less bulky.
Brilliant: the three‑bubble extrusion process imparts exceptional gloss, ideal for premium food packaging.

Triflex films are a sustainable solution, both ecologically and economically. Eliminating the lamination step and reducing film thickness lowers material consumption and therefore the carbon footprint. Their lightness also offers significant logistical benefits: reduced storage space requirement, lower transport costs and a smaller environmental impact compared with traditional films.
Triflex products are particularly suitable when high oxygen barrier is required. This bi‑oriented film technology ensures excellent transparency, strong thermoformability and high puncture resistance, extending the shelf life of sausages, meat, fish, poultry, cheese and rice. This type of packaging is considered a forward‑looking solution, aligned with the goal of reducing food waste.
The versatility of Triflex films perfectly reflects ITP’s approach, where flexibility is a core value. Since 1972, Industria Termoplastica Pavese has been committed to fully meeting customer needs and, through its Research & Development laboratory, develops solutions that precisely satisfy requirements for performance, food safety and quality.
ITP’s Triflex T‑Lid was awarded the Ecopack CONAI 2024 prize for its innovative design, capable of reducing raw material usage and CO₂ emissions. This recognition is based on life cycle assessment (LCA) studies conducted by CONAI to evaluate the environmental impact of packaging throughout its lifecycle.
In terms of safety and compliance, Triflex T‑Lid is manufactured using raw materials compliant with European food‑contact regulations, within an ISO 9001‑certified system, and meets Halal certification requirements.
