At Chaozhou Chaoan Guoqiang Printing we produce the Snacks Packaging Film Roll as part of our film in roll range, a printed and laminated film supplied on rolls for snack packing lines. The roll format lets a converter match the film to the filling machine once, then run the same specification for the whole order. Our company was founded in 2000 and works from a 6000 square metre plant in Chaozhou, Guangdong, where printing, laminating and bag making sit under one roof.

Film Structure and Printing

A snack film is built from a printed outer layer and a lamination that provides the seal and the barrier the product needs. The structure is chosen for the snack itself: a potato chip, a popcorn pack and a candy wrapper place different demands on grease resistance, moisture barrier and seal strength, and the film has to survive the filling line without blocking or curling. We discuss the structure with the customer before printing, because changing the lamination after the artwork is approved usually means a new proof and a new run.

Printing runs on high speed presses, and the plant also has high speed dry laminating machines, solvent free laminating machines and bag making machines. That mix matters for a snack project: the same printed film can be delivered as roll stock for an automatic form fill seal machine, or converted into stand up zipper bags, flat bottom bags and other formats when the retail pack needs a shelf presence. A brand that sells the same snack in two pack types can keep one print job and one colour reference.

Why Roll Film Suits Snack Lines

Snack packing machines run fast and expect a consistent web. The film is supplied in a roll wound to the width the machine needs, with the print repeat and the eye mark placed so the registration sensor can find the cut position. Roll width, core diameter, winding direction and the position of the repeat are the four items we confirm before a run, because a roll wound the wrong way stops the line at the first splice. For a new machine, a short trial roll is the quickest way to settle those details.

Roll film also reduces the handling between the printer and the filler. The film arrives printed, laminated and slit, and the packing room only has to load the roll and set the temperature and the seal time. For a snack producer who runs several flavours, the film can be printed per flavour and stored as separate rolls, so a changeover is a roll change rather than a full pack change. That is usually the point where a roll supply pays for itself against pre-made bags.

Quality Checks and Certifications

Guoqiang holds the national industrial production license and has passed the ISO9001 quality system certification and TUV Rheinland certification. Quality management is written into each production step, from raw material selection through printing, laminating, bag making, packing and shipping, and each stage is inspected before the next one starts. For a food contact film, the buyer should still ask for the material declaration and the migration test report that apply to the target market, and confirm the film structure in writing before the order is released.

Ordering a Snack Film

To quote a Snacks Packaging Film Roll we need the artwork, the roll width, the repeat length, the winding direction, the estimated quantity and the destination. If the snack is new, send the fill weight, the pack size and the shelf life target, and we will suggest a structure for review rather than guess. A printed proof and a trial roll come before the production run, and the roll label carries the job number, the structure and the quantity so the packing room can match it to the work order. Contact us on 86 0768 6666888 or at gqpackaging@gmail.com, or visit the plant at Longkeng Xibu Industrial Area, Anbu Town, Chaoan District, Chaozhou, Guangdong.

The same film range covers food packaging films and bags, cup lidding films, spout bags, stand up zipper bags, special shaped bags, aluminum foil bags, vacuum bags, flat bottom bags and heat shrinkable labels, so a snack brand can add a new pack format without starting a new supplier relationship. Our products have been exported to dozens of countries, and we are glad to send samples of a comparable structure for a trial on your line. Tell us what the snack needs and we will show you the film that fits it.
