PAKISTAN – International Packaging Films has unveiled a new generation of advanced flexible packaging films at 3P Plas Print Pack Pakistan 2026 in Lahore, featuring AlOx transparent barrier films, mono-PE/PP/PET recyclable structures, and PCR content solutions for the food and FMCG sectors.

The showcased portfolio, presented at the Expo Centre from 3-5 September 2026, includes coated films, AlOx transparent barrier films, ultra-high-barrier metallized films, low-temperature sealing and aroma barrier films, high heat resistance and retortable films, next-generation BOPE, and circular packaging solutions such as Mono-PE, Mono-PP, Mono-PET and PCR films. 

The launch reflects IPAK’s move into specialised, higher-value applications, with potential to help Pakistani manufacturers diversify exports, earn additional foreign exchange and reduce reliance on imported packaging materials.

At the exhibition, IPAK is engaging converters, FMCG firms, exporters and international buyers, positioning innovation and sustainability at the centre of its next phase of growth.

Sustainability and Export Focus Drive Portfolio Expansion

The company’s new packaging films have also started receiving commercial orders, indicating early market acceptance of the technology. 

IPAK’s strategic pivot toward sustainable and export-oriented packaging aligns with Pakistan’s growing demand for flexible packaging solutions that meet international sustainability standards.

The company’s focus on value-added products is expected to enhance Pakistan’s packaging manufacturing capabilities and reduce dependence on imported materials.
