MDO-PE
Smarter Structure, More Circular Packaging.
MDO-PE packaging solutions are next-generation flexible packaging alternatives designed to combine high performance, strong mechanical properties and a recycling-oriented design approach within a polyethylene-based structure.
MONO-MATERIAL APPROACH
Focused on performance, resource efficiency and circularity.
WHAT IS MDO-PE?
Enhanced performance in a PE-based structure.
MDO-PE is a specialised film technology developed by orienting polyethylene film in the machine direction under controlled conditions after production.
This structure helps improve mechanical strength, optical appearance, print surface and packaging performance while offering an important design alternative for PE-based mono-material solutions.
The final packaging structure should be engineered with consideration for the product’s barrier needs, filling conditions, shelf life and recycling objectives.
ADVANTAGES
High-performance support for sustainable design.
01 / STRUCTURE
PE-Based Solution
Enables the development of packaging structures suitable for a mono-material design approach.
02 / STRENGTH
Enhanced Mechanical Properties
Orientation technology helps increase film strength and dimensional stability.
03 / PRINTING
High-Quality Print Surface
Can provide a more controlled, high-quality print surface that supports brand communication.
04 / SEALING
Packaging Performance
Can be designed with suitable PE layers for high-speed packaging and seal performance.
05 / RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
Optimised Material
Supports the objective of achieving the required performance with more material-efficient structures.
06 / CIRCULARITY
Recycling Focus
Enables recyclability criteria to be considered from the outset of packaging design.
TECHNICAL STRUCTURE
A layer architecture designed for product requirements.
In an MDO-PE solution, film layers are selected by evaluating target mechanical performance, barrier, printing, seal behaviour and packaging machine requirements together.
01
MDO-PE Layer
Enhanced stiffness and mechanical performance with oriented PE film.
02
Sealant Layer
A PE-based sealant layer suited to the filling and packaging line.
03
Barrier Design
A solution approach for oxygen, moisture and aroma performance according to product needs.
04
Print Surface
A surface structure optimised for brand visibility and graphic quality.
05
Printing Technology
High and consistent colour performance with Flexo printing in up to 8 colours.
CIRCULAR DESIGN
Design packaging not only for today, but also for tomorrow.
A sustainable packaging approach considers material selection, product protection, production efficiency and the post-use process together. MDO-PE offers an important option for developing simpler material architectures within this approach.
01 / DESIGN
Simpler Material Structure
Optimise the material architecture while preserving packaging functionality.
02 / KORU
Protect the Product Effectively
Keep shelf life and product integrity at the heart of the design.
03 / PRODUCE EFFICIENTLY
Consider Line Efficiency
Evaluate printing, lamination and packaging performance together.
04 / KEEP IN CIRCULATION
Design for Recycling
Consider the post-use stage from the very first step of packaging design.
APPLICATION AREAS
Broad application potential in next-generation flexible packaging.
01
Stand Up Pouch
High performance and modern appearance in PE-based pouch solutions.
02
Roll Stock
Machine-specific roll solutions for automatic packaging lines.
03
Food Packaging
Barrier and protection structures developed according to product needs.
04
Non-Food Products
Flexible packaging alternatives that can be designed according to technical requirements.
SUSTAINABILITY
Less complexity, more responsible packaging design.
At SCA Flexible Packaging, we approach sustainability not merely as a material choice, but as a design philosophy that considers product protection, production efficiency, resource use and the post-use process together.
01 / MATERIAL
PE-Based Structure Approach
02 / EFFICIENCY
Optimised Resource Use
03 / PROTECTION
Design Aimed at Reducing Product Waste
04 / FUTURE
