flexible laminates - Answers purpose is to combine best properties into a single structure

flexible laminated films properties - Answers structural, barrier, aesthetic, cost, sealing

flexible laminated films performance properties - Answers machinability, coefficient of friction,
body and dead-fold properties, tear, thermoforming, use environment

the lower the COF... - Answers the less energy involved

VFFS - Answers vertical form fill seal

HFFS - Answers horizontal form fill seal

Vertical form fill seal - Answers has vertical orientation, makes pouches (capri sun, ketchup
packs)

horizontal form fill seal - Answers not as fast as VFFS, don't have to seal the bottom

permeability equation - Answers volume (mL) and thickness (mil) divided by area per day
