BHC® Compostable Routing Film

An alternative to plastic film for your routing operations

The compostable routing film BHC® Biowrap is designed for film‑wrapping printed documents: magazines, catalogues, newspapers, mailings, promotional materials or communication supports. Available in neutral or printed versions, it protects mailings while meeting the expectations of press, routing and direct marketing professionals who wish to reduce the use of conventional plastic films. The BHC® film is designed to adapt to the constraints of your activity: document format, film‑wrapping equipment, production speed, printing needs and required protection level.

Product description

A routing film to protect and ship your printed materials

The compostable routing film is used to wrap, protect and prepare printed documents for shipment. It is a suitable solution for film‑wrapping operations carried out by routers, printers, publishers and direct marketing providers. Thanks to its transparency, it can preserve visibility of the document or the shipping address. It can also be studied with printing to highlight a brand, a campaign message or information intended for the recipient. The BHC® film can support:
  • the shipment of magazines and newspapers
  • the routing of catalogues and brochures
  • mailing and direct marketing campaigns
  • film‑wrapping of promotional documents
  • sending administrative or institutional documents
  • protecting printed materials during preparation and distribution.

Unlike pallet stretch film, routing film is intended to wrap individual or grouped printed materials. Its selection must therefore consider your film‑wrapping process and your machine.
