Cellulose Films
Cellulose film packaging is a bio-compostable packaging solution manufactured from wood or cotton, both of which are easily compostable. Besides cellulose film packaging extends the shelf life of fresh produce products by controlling the moisture content.
Cellulose-based materials, like paper and board, are commonly used in packaging. They are light-weight, durable, bio-based and easily recyclable which have made them a popular packaging material.

What are the benefits of cellulose products?
It is created from cellulose harvested from plants, it is a sustainable product sourced from bio-based, renewable resources.
Cellulose film packaging is biodegradable. Tests have shown that cellulose packaging biodegrades in 28–60 days if the product is uncoated and 80–120 days if coated. It also degrades in the water in 10 days if it’s uncoated and around a month if it’s coated.
Biodegradable cellophane bags resist moisture and water vapor, making them an excellent choice for displaying and storing food items.
It is heat sealable. With the right tools, you can quickly and easily heat seal and protect food products stored in cellophane bags.
When handling cellulose films at the time of preserving, transporting and processing—temperature, humidity and pressure, etc. affect the cellulose film's quality. It is recommended to use them following each of the terms below.
①Temperature and humidity
Temperature around 20 degrees Celsius and humidity around 55% are the most appropriate storage environment conditions for cellulose films. For use in winter, it is preferable to use them after keeping them wrapped in a temperature and humidity-controlled room for over 24 hours.
②Store in a place where direct sunlight can be avoided.
③Avoid placing materials directly on the floor. Stack them on shelves.
④Do not apply extreme loads on the materials during storage.
Avoid stacking in tiers as much as possible. Avoid stacking laterally to prevent shape deformation.
⑤Do not unwrap until immediately before use. (Re-wrap in high moisture-proof films, such as aluminum-metallized film to store unused remaining parts.)
⑥Ideally, the storing period should be 60 days or less.
⑦Handle with care to prevent scratches from impacts and flaws on the edges.
