Sealing Things Shut With BOPP Film

By Dorothy Wallace


At no point in its history, at no point in the relatively short time of its existence, was the human being ever the biggest or the strongest animal on the face of the planet. Every animal of comparable mass is stronger, faster, or more agile. Curiously however, it is not the bigger, stronger animals that dominate the planet, even a rudimentary understanding of the laws of nature would dictate so. It is not the lion that has worn crowns and it is not the gorilla that has built great cities. No, credit for those goes solely to man. Humanity was able to achieve all of it due to a quirk in its evolutionary development. In exchange for the muscular development enjoyed by its cousins within the great ape family, humanity would instead get enhanced cognitive abilities in a tradeoff that no one but an idiot with the thickest of skulls would argue did not end in its favor. Armed with an intellect that the other animals could not match, humans noticed that a pointy rock would make a great weapon and that attaching said pointy rock to a long stick made for an even better one. Over the course of human development, it eventually came to pass that BOPP film came into being.

BOPP means Bi Oriented Polypropylene. It is a kind of material that is see through. It is also very stretchy and can be used for a variety of packaging needs.

Now, this type of material has a variety of uses. It is a barrier against moisture, both in and out. That means that moisture will not leak out, so anything that is moist and packed with the stuff will stay moist and conversely, anything that goes in dry will stay dry.

Moisture can ruin things. So can dryness. It is important to preserve the structural integrity of a thing when packaging it, in order to make sure it remains in either edible or usable condition.

When packing, it is important to make sure that the items are protected. As such, every precaution must be taken in order to insure this. Thus, packing certain items in film means protecting them in every possible way, especially perishable items like food.

When it comes to packing food, this stuff becomes that much more important. Food is meant to be consumed and generally, food is best consumed when it is fresh. But sometimes, eating fresh is just not possible. But using film to package it can make sure that it retains some degree of freshness. This keeps the food appetizing or at least edible.

This stuff is commercially available. It can be found in most supermarkets and even convenience stores. As a household good, it should not come too expensively. In fact, there are several different companies offering similar products that all work the same and some are more affordable than others.

The film is somewhat flimsy. It does have high tensile strength, but it was not made to be durable enough to be unbreakable. Since it was made for packaging materials, it was made weak enough that human hands could tear it apart if need be.

There are certain things that living in modern times makes one accustomed to. As such, those things need to retain their flavor. And also their structural integrity.
