The high-density construction translates into a durable film that’s more chemical and water resistant than LDPE film. This woven film is also tear and puncture resistant, so it’s often used for tarps and machine covers.

Package food, textiles, and other products in wet environments. This film won’t absorb or swell from water. It’s also FDA compliant, so it’s safe to directly touch food. This film keeps its shape at room temperature. When heated, it softens evenly and won’t warp, making it a good choice for heat sealing and applications that involve shaping with pressure and heat.

Metal-Detectable Box Truck Covers
Protect food inside box trucks, totes, and other containers while moving them around your plant. Made with metal additives, these covers set off metal detectors if a piece falls into your line, so contaminated food won’t leave your facility. This helps you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for food safety. FDA compliant, they’re also safe to touch food. These covers resist tearing and don’t let contaminants in. Throw them away when you’re done—no need to worry about cleaning them or cross-contaminating food.
These covers are large and have an elastic edge that stretches over big, bulky containers. They should be used on containers that are at least 24” lg. × 20” wd.; anything smaller than that and they’ll be too loose and could get caught in wheels. These covers can also be used on equipment and machines to keep them safe and dry during cleaning and maintenance.
