Jindal Films announced an expansion of its product portfolio to help satisfy continued demand for alternative packaging solutions in the face of changing market conditions and regulations. The announcement was made by the brand at Interlock 2026 and includes print, barrier and sealing films each engineered to help transition from multi-material laminates that can't be recycled to mono-material, polypropylene alternatives. The announcement will see a series of transparent films specifically for the dry goods, biscuits and bakery industries to be debuted alongside additional solutions that can be more easily recycled.

The announcement from Jindal Films also included the promotion of a partnership with a number of leading machinery suppliers to show off the packaging materials' capabilities when they continue to roll out.
