New Delhi, Feb 20: Cosmo Films, a global leader in specialty films, has announced the launch of its Sealable Peelable Transparent Anti-Fog BOPET (PET) Lidding Film, engineered to enhance product visibility, extend shelf life, and improve packaging performance across refrigerated and fresh food categories.
Condensation remains a significant challenge in food packaging, particularly in cold-chain environments where temperature variations lead to moisture build-up inside packs. Fog formation can obscure product appearance and negatively impact consumer perception at the point of sale. Cosmo Films’ new anti-fog PET lidding film incorporates an advanced coating on the sealable side that delivers excellent cold anti-fog performance, preventing droplet formation and maintaining consistent clarity throughout storage and display.
Designed for high performance and versatility, the film offers a low sealing temperature, ensuring compatibility with high-speed packaging lines while optimizing energy efficiency. It is sealable and peelable, enabling strong yet easy-open seals without compromising pack integrity. The film is microwaveable, adding convenience for ready-to-eat and prepared food applications.
Importantly, the film enhances shelf life by 4–5 days for fresh salads and vegetables by helping maintain optimal internal pack conditions. It is compatible with a wide range of substrates, including PP, HIPS, PET (APET, CPET), PVC, and LDPE containers, making it suitable for diverse packaging formats. In line with sustainability goals, the film is recyclable in the mainstream recycling stream when used with PET trays.
Commenting on the launch, Kulbhushan Malik, Global Business Head, Cosmo Films, said:
“In food packaging, visibility is directly linked to consumer trust and purchase decisions. With our Anti-Fog Transparent BOPET Lidding Films, we are addressing a key pain point for brands by combining condensation control with superior clarity, strong sealing performance, and ease of use. This launch reinforces our commitment to expanding our specialty portfolio with high-performance, value-added solutions that support both product protection and brand differentiation.”
The new lidding films are suitable for a wide range of applications, including refrigerated and frozen foods, prepared fruits, fresh-cut vegetables, ready-to-eat meals, bakery items, dairy products such as yogurt and butter, pasta, fresh meat, and salami. The film also performs effectively in fresh produce packaging for vegetables, herbs, berries, fruits, and mushrooms — categories where clear visibility and freshness perception are critical to purchase decisions.
This launch further strengthens Cosmo Films’ specialty product portfolio, aligned with its strategic focus on innovation-led growth and higher value-added offerings. With continued investments in R&D and advanced film technologies, the company remains committed to delivering solutions that enhance shelf life, improve packaging efficiency, and elevate the consumer experience.
