Each branch has unique and critical characteristics. To face these differences, Neophane studies a multiplicity of structures, always keeping in mind the principal functions of a pack: - to contain the product - to protect it from mechanical damage - to assure a suitable barrier to gas and other vapour - to prevent or to delay the degradation of the product - to present and promote the product The multi-layer materials are produced combining the different properties of each material, in order to optimise cost, performance and machinability. To make the right choice in terms of materials, it is essential to have a deep understanding of all raw materials involved with the process (not only the film, but also inks and adhesives), as well as that of the final product to be packed, knowledge obtainable only long experience and cooperative partnerships with suppliers and customers.

Sometimes, it is replaced by co-extruded polypropylene. Paper: used as printing support, in lamination with other films, it is used for wet wipes single-dose wrapping, as well as for talcum powder and soap tablets (in this case with application of hot-melt adhesives). Aluminium: used in lamination with plastic films, when the success of the final product is contingent on water vapour and gas resistance. Polyethylene: used in lamination for its sealing and water vapour barrier properties.
