Propafilm™ Ensures Premium Pack Appearance

Date: 7 February 2006

Imperial Tobacco (ITL) is extending its use of Innovia Films’ Propafilm™ GLS25 to overwrap collation packs of Castella Miniature cigars.

Cartons containing 10 tins of Small Classic Filter and  Castella Miniature cigars are being overwrapped with Propafilm™ GLS25 because, says ITL Brand Manager, Vicki Cale: “We must have a good quality finish to the product to enforce the cigars’ premium qualities.”

Propafilm™ GLS25 was chosen for its brilliant optical properties, clarity and its controlled and balanced shrink properties which ensures packs stay fresh  and bright looking throughout their shelf-life.

This controlled shrink performance gives the packs a smooth, glossy appearance as well as substantially improving barrier to moisture and flavour taint.

Innovia Films is a preferred supplier to ITL which uses its films on both cigarettes and cigars produced at its UK facilities.

Adds Vicki Cale: “Propafilm™ GLS25 was recommended because of its shrink qualities and because it is a tried and tested film for Imperial Tobacco.”

ITL is also using Propafilm™ GLS25 to wrap its export miniature cigars.
