What Is Rollstock Film?

Rollstock film is flexible packaging supplied on reels, not as pre-made bags. It runs on compatible form-fill-seal equipment to form, fill and seal packs, making it a practical choice for brands seeking automated production and consistent presentation.

Why Choose Rollstock Film?

  • Support efficient production: Integrating bag forming, filling and sealing can reduce manual handling. Film dimensions, friction and sealing properties must match your equipment for reliable operation.
  • Manage cost at scale: Rollstock can lower per-pack conversion costs compared with pre-made pouches in suitable production setups. Actual savings depend on run volume, equipment investment, changeovers and film waste.
  • Protect product quality: Material structures can be selected for moisture, oxygen, light and puncture resistance according to your product and shelf-life requirements.
  • Build a consistent brand image: Custom printing, matte or gloss finishes and optional clear areas help communicate product benefits and distinguish flavors or variants.
  • Develop market-ready formats: Compatible equipment can produce sachets, stick packs, pillow packs and certain gusseted or stand-up formats, supporting single servings, samples and larger retail packs.

How to Specify Rollstock Film

Rollstock is specified around both your pack and your machine. To recommend the right film, we need the following:

  • Product type and fill quantity: Share the product name and the net weight or volume per pack. Powders, granules, liquids and irregular pieces each need a different amount of space.
  • Pack format and filling method: Sachet, stick pack, pillow pack or gusseted pack, and the seal allowance your machine needs.
  • Machine specifications: Film width, print repeat, reel diameter, core size, winding direction and sealing requirements.
  • Sales and display: Consider how the pack is displayed, carton packing and shipping.

Not Sure Which Specification to Choose?

Send Sorbar your product details, target fill quantity, pack format and machine specifications. We can recommend a film specification and arrange samples for a trial run, so you can check fill capacity, seal allowance and machine performance before confirming production.

If you have shelf-life requirements, please tell us as well, so we can evaluate the material structure and barrier needs. Shelf life cannot be guaranteed by pack size alone.
