What is PE film unique makes
PE film is not just a flexible plastic film. Depending on the type, film thickness and processing, solutions are created for packaging, technical applications and hygienic applications. What is crucial is that the film fits the geometry, further processing and later use.
Low stress for deep drawing
During deep drawing, the film must deform uniformly and adhere to the tool contour as stress-free as possible. A matched PE film supports controlled shaping, reduces unwanted return forces, and creates a reliable foundation for reproducible deep drawing parts.
Good chemical resistance
PE films are resistant to many media and are therefore suitable for applications where contact with moisture, cleaning agents or different fillers occurs. The exact durability required depends on the specific medium, temperature and exposure time.
Flexibility and tenacity
PE film can be designed to be flexible, tough, or form-stable. This allows it to be adapted to different requirements – from flexible packaging solutions to more rigid stretch films for technical containers and covers.
Light weight
PE film enables lightweight solutions with efficient material use. Compared to rigid components, film and deep-drawing solutions can save weight and therefore be economically integrated into packaging and transport systems.
Good further processing ability
Whether deep drawing, cutting, welding or assembly: PE film can be designed for various processing steps. We consider not only the film itself, but the entire process up to the finished application.
What PE film Does it suit you?
Not every PE film is the best choice for every application. We think about the desired component and its further processing – and together find the foil solution that is technically and economically truly suitable.
LDPE – flexible PE film
LDPE is particularly suitable for flexible film solutions where adaptability, toughness and good processing are required.
- flexible and adaptable
- Good toughness at low film thickness
- suitable for flexible packaging and protective films
- interesting for applications with subsequent assembly
HDPE – more form-stable PE film
HDPE offers higher stiffness and is suitable for applications where the film should retain a stable shape and a load-bearing surface even after processing.
- Higher stiffness than flexible PE film types
- Good resistance to many media
- suitable for technical packaging, containers and covers
PE film made from secondary raw materials
Where circulation patterns and a conscious use of materials are required, PE films based on secondary raw materials can be an interesting solution. What is crucial is matching them to the requirements of the application, the desired appearance, and the subsequent processing steps.
- more efficient use of secondary raw materials
- Circulatory thought without a standard response
- Material selection depends on function and quality requirements
- suitable for applications where a reduced primary raw material content is possible
Special solutions
When standard films are not enough, we think further. Together, we develop solutions that are tailored exactly to your requirements – from the film selection to the finished packaging.
- customized foil constructions
- Stress-free solutions for deep drawing
- Roll-formed, cut-to-size or pre-assembled films
- Advice on material, film thickness and processing
- Solutions based on secondary raw materials – a cycle instead of a compromise
Where PE film their strengths playing out
Deep-drawn packaging
Shells, inserts, covers and packaging components with defined shapes and low weight.
Technical packaging
Protective packaging, transport solutions and inserts for components where chemical resistance, toughness and reliable processing are important factors.
Medical and hygienic applications
Film solutions for hygienic applications where material selection, cleanliness, processing, and application-specific requirements must be carefully coordinated with one another.
Pre-packaged foil solutions
Cut-to-size, roll-form and further processed films for applications where the film is not required as a standard roll but is already suitable for the next process step.
Why Filzwieser for PE film and film extrusion?
PE film can do many things – but not every PE film can do everything. For a reliable solution, you need The material, film structure, film thickness, deep drawing behavior, and further processing all match together. That is exactly why we ask questions before giving a standard answer.
We support you from the initial idea to the appropriate slide solution. In doing so, we consider not only the production of the film, but also the subsequent deep drawing, cutting, assembly, and use in the overall system.

Frequently asked questions
What does „low voltage“ mean for PE film?
Low-stress PE film is designed so that iMinimize any tensions during further processing. This is particularly important during deep drawing, because the film should be applied evenly to the tool contour and hold the desired shape reliably.
Which PE film is suitable for deep drawing?
This depends on the desired geometry, the film thickness, the tool design, and the processing process. LDPE can be interesting for flexible applications, while HDPE offers advantages where higher form stability is required. We will work together to determine which type is best suited for your component and process.
Can PE film be used for medical or hygienic applications?
In principle, suitable PE films can be used for hygienic applications. However, the required material quality, processing, and documentation depend on the specific application and the applicable requirements. Therefore, we consider the entire use case before making a recommendation.
What forms of further processing are possible?
PE film can vary depending on the design deep-drawn, cut to size, welded or assembled We deliver rolled goods, cut-to-size parts or a further processed foil solution – suitable for your next process step.
Are there PE films made from secondary raw materials?
Yes, solutions based on secondary raw materials can be a useful alternative depending on the application. In this case, it is necessary to The material quality, function, appearance, and further processing all match together.. We are jointly examining where an intervention is possible and how the circular economy concept can be implemented in a technically sound manner.
