PACKAGING
Food
We offer multiple types of containers and packaging for the food industry, and they all have something in common: they must guarantee to maintain the product’s original quality, as well as its nutritional values, flavor and look.
These films feature low production costs and ease in machine processing. They offer excellent mechanical, optical and barrier properties (depending on their formulation), which can be changed depending on the needs, and they can contribute to extending the product’s useful life.
PACKAGING SOLUTIONS
BREAD BAG
Also known as wicket bags, we have a wide variety of film materials, PE, PE-PP Blow, Cast PP, all of which offer high transparency and gloss.
Opacity in white bags
Maximum resistance with minimum gauges
Flexibility in the design, printing and manufacture of the bag
Possibility to include pre-cuts and perforations
100% recyclable
DISPENSING LAMINATE
Film for automatic packaging, based on a wide range of formulations according to its purpose. From low gauge PE films for frozen foods, to films with high oxygen barrier to increase the product’s shelf-life.
High rate of welding possibilities in the packaging machines
Easy to open bag
Flexographic printing up to 10 colors
100% recyclable
LAMINATING FILM
The Armando Alvarez Group specializes in a range of polyethylene films for laminating. Their main features are their welding capability and optical and mechanical properties, adapting to the client’s needs and/or applications.
As one of the European leaders in this market, measured both by volume manufactured and by the quality of the products and developments, the Group currently exports to numerous European markets, and even beyond the European continent.
The Armando Alvarez Group has several latest-generation extrusion lines, equipped with all the automatic control elements to guarantee a standard of quality that will meet the high demands of this market.

High gloss and transparency
Excellent welding capability
Improved mechanical resistance
APPLICATIONS
Metallocene weldable films
Peelable films on PE
Multi-support peelable films
High hot tack anti-fog films
High gloss and transparency films
Tearable films
Sterilizable/Pasteurizable films

Resealable films
THERMOLAMINATION
This film is normally used in lamination with other usually rigid materials (APET, PS, OPP, ETC) to shape the containers. They are often used as food packaging, as they are structures that provide low permeability to oxygen, contributing to increasing food shelf-life in these containers.
Fine gauges
They may be weldable, peelable and anti-fog (AF)
They may provide a high oxygen barrier
Excellent welding capability, even with fat
Bag in box
We offer a wide range of co-extruded multi-layer films based on combinations of polyethylene, EVOH and polyamide. These combinations provide excellent optical and mechanical properties, as well as outstanding weldability that allows for packing liquids with full guarantee.
100% recyclable material
High gloss and transparency
Excellent welding capability
High resistance to puncture
Easily adaptable to all types of machines
CEREAL
We have developed specific technical structures for the cereal film that protect the packaged product from both moisture and oxygen, if necessary. This considerably increases their shelf-life and preserves their properties for longer.
Our films also make it easier to open the bags thanks to a specially-designed formulation.
Fine gauges
100% recyclable
Increased shelf-life
LAMINATED FILM WITH ADHESIVES
We manufacture a wide variety of laminated structures that perfectly match the needs and uses of our clients. They guarantee perfect product conservation, ensuring the highest production rates and machinability, with multiple visual options and finishes to ensure the best product positioning.
Resistant to perforation, tearing and impact
They may be weldable, peelable and anti-fog (AF)
They adapt perfectly to packaging processes
Oxygen barrier
Transparency
