The most commonly asked question regarding plastic packaging films pertains to their expiration date. It is widely acknowledged that plastic possesses a significantly longer shelf life compared to other packaging materials like paper.
It is accurate to state that for most plastics, their shelf life is essentially indefinite when stored under suitable conditions. While some plastics are engineered to degrade relatively swiftly when exposed to heat and light, others, such as Nylon, may endure for thousands of years in landfills before undergoing substantial degradation.
In the case of BOPP film, it would be inaccurate to assert that this plastic film remains completely impervious to degradation. BOPP films do have biodegradable properties, which means they can experience a loss of their original quality over time. While BOPP film does not undergo complete expiration, it is possible for its barrier properties to diminish as time passes.
