Nylon (PA) Thermoforming Film — Food Package F2647 (180μm)
NL180 NY/PE thermoforming film used as a sealing/forming film on continuous automatic vacuum thermoforming lines, built for an extra-deep 60–70mm forming depth. Laminates with PET or OPP film to form a vacuum bag for chicken, ham, sausage, bacon, duck, meat, and seafood.
An Extra-Deep-Draw Gauge for the Bulkiest Cuts
F2647 is the 180μm grade in Intlpak's NL series, built for a 60–70mm forming depth — the deepest cavity in the mid-family lineup, for whole primal cuts, large bone-in joints, and multi-piece bulk packs. It delivers the family's highest elongation (620%/600% MD/TD) to absorb the stretch of a deep draw, with a corona-treated NY surface for dependable lamination bonding.
Where F2647 Is Used
- 1
Extra-Deep Vacuum Packs
Extra-deep-draw vacuum packaging film for refrigerated and frozen food at a 60–70mm forming depth. Elongation of 620%/600% — the highest in the NL nylon (PA) family — is what lets the film reach that depth.
- 2
Whole Primal Cuts and Bone-In Poultry
Whole primal cuts of beef and pork, and large bone-in poultry portions. Yield points differ by direction at 160/130 kg/cm², so forming should account for the machine direction carrying more of the draw.
- 3
Large Ham and Bacon Slabs
Whole ham, large bacon slabs, whole duck, and other bulky processed meats. At this depth the corners thin most, so tooling radius matters as much as film gauge.
- 4
Maximum Cavity Volume Packs
Large-format or multi-piece seafood and meat packs requiring maximum cavity volume. Above 70mm the series continues to 15309 at 262μm, which covers 60–100mm.
- 5
Extra-Deep Thermoforming Lines
Extra-deep-draw sealing/forming film on continuous automatic vacuum thermoforming lines. Haze reads 15%, so retail visibility holds even through the deeper draw walls.
- 6
Lamination into Finished Vacuum Bags
Laminates with PET or OPP to complete the vacuum bag. At a 60–70mm draw the laminate has to stretch with the base film without delaminating at the corners, which is where the deepest packs usually fail first.
Full Specifications — Thermoforming Nylon/PE Film Series
F2647 is the 180μm grade in Intlpak's NL nylon/PE thermoforming film family — a 180 micron nylon film for extra-deep draw for a 60–70mm forming depth, with 15% haze and 620% elongation (MD). The table below shows F2647 alongside the other gauges in the same series.

Questions About F2647
F2647 forms 60–70 mm and 15309 forms 60–100 mm — how do I choose?
By whether you need to exceed 70 mm. Both cover 60–70 mm, and F2647 at 180 μm is 82 μm thinner than 15309 at 262 μm — a clear material cost advantage. Only past 70 mm does the heavier gauge become necessary.
F2647 leads the family on elongation at 620%/600% — how much does that matter for deep draw?
It is the central requirement. Extensibility determines whether the web keeps stretching at the corners instead of thinning to failure, and F2647's 620%/600% sits clearly above F2606 's 510%/560% and F2624 's 480%/550%. Gauge supplies material; elongation determines whether that material can be drawn into place. Neither works alone.
F2647's yield points differ notably at 160/130 — what should forming account for?
Which way the product's long axis sits. MD 160 against TD 130 kg/cm² is about a 19% spread, so the web yields sooner across the web. For elongated deep trays with heavy cross-direction draw, wall thickness at the corners can come out uneven — measure both directions during process validation before fixing tooling orientation.
Which face of F2647 is treated?
The NY face, corona treated for printing or lamination — the same arrangement as F2606 and F2615 . A line already running those grades needs no change to reel orientation or treated-face handling when switching to F2647, only heating and forming adjustments for the heavier gauge.
At 15% haze, does F2647 still work for retail display?
It does, provided the top web carries the visual job. Side walls drawn to 60–70 mm stretch substantially and haze inevitably rises; F2647's 15% still reads better than 15309 's 20%. The practical approach is to let the bottom web prioritise forming and give the clarity requirement to a clear top web such as F2646 at 4% haze.
Bone-in cuts keep puncturing our vacuum packs — what should we change?
Move up in gauge and elongation, and check the corners first. F2647 is the 180 μm NL nylon/PE grade rated for a 60–70 mm forming depth, with the series' highest elongation at 620%/600% — the film stretches into the cavity rather than thinning to a weak point. For deeper or heavier loads again, 15309 runs 262 μm.
Vacuum skin pack or vacuum pouch — which suits a premium cut?
A skin pack holds the product against the tray and shows its shape, which suits premium and irregular cuts; a pouch is cheaper and faster but slumps. Either way the forming web decides how deep the pack can go — F2647 is rated 60–70 mm with 15% haze. Decide the presentation first, then match the draw depth to a grade.
