Testing wrapper seals only under dry conditions
Packaging format
Ice Cream & Frozen Novelty Films
Ice cream and novelty applications often call for film that runs cleanly, seals rapidly and remains tough in the freezer. Depending on the application, a surface-printed white cavitated OPP can be the appropriate answer rather than a laminate.
PROJECT FOCUSFast seals and cold toughness are central to novelty wrappers.
Web dimensions, film layers, print, seals, and roll requirements are developed around the application and filling line.
What the specification must resolve
What to confirm before production.
Ice cream bars, pops and sandwiches can require rapid sealing, good release, opacity and scuff resistance through condensation and freezer distribution. Surface-printed white cavitated OPP may be a better fit than a laminate for some programs.
Key considerations
- Wrapper equipment and seal speed
- Cold-crack resistance
- Ink scuff and condensation
- Opacity and print appearance
Common applications
- Ice cream bars
- Pops and sandwiches
- Frozen multipacks
- Specialty novelties

A common question
Why use surface-printed white cavitated OPP for a frozen novelty?
When the application does not require a laminate, white cavitated OPP can provide opacity and support the sealing and handling needs of the wrapper. Print durability and cold performance still need validation.
