What does BOPP mean. What are the benefits or limitations of a BOPP film?

BOPP stands for Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene. The description indicates that the film has been oriented or “stretched” in both the machine and cross direction during the manufacturing process. Orienting the film adds stiffness and rigidity making it ideally suited for automatic labeling of rigid containers. Most BOPP films should not be used in applications where squeezability is required.
