UNIQABLE™
UNIQABLE™ – Recyclable All-PE Packaging Solution
UNIQABLE™ is LG Chem’s mono-material (PE) packaging solution developed using MDOPE and BOPE. It replaces conventional composite materials packaging to deliver both recyclability and high performance—an innovative choice for companies pursuing sustainable packaging.
1. MDOPE (Machine Direction Oriented Polyethylene)
- A packaging-grade PE material with excellent stiffness and printability achieved through machine-direction orientation.
MDOPE is produced by stretching polyethylene in the machine direction, improving stiffness and thermal stability.
It is mainly used for small pouches where superior print quality is required.
Key Features
- High stiffness and stability Machine Direction Orientation ensures strength and heat resistance
- Balanced toughness: Meets diverse packaging requirements
- Excellent printability and clarity: Ideal for premium packaging

Typical Applications
- Particularly suitable for small pouches requiring superior print quality
2. BOPE (Biaxially Oriented Polyethylene)
- A packaging-grade PE material with outstanding strength, tear resistance, and puncture resistance achieved through biaxial orientation.
BOPE is produced by stretching polyethylene in both machine (MDO) and transverse (TDO) directions, enhancing strength, tear resistance, and puncture resistance.
It is ideal for liquid pouches, frozen food, and large-format packaging.
Key Features
- Exceptional tear resistance and toughness Biaxial Orientation provides high strength and puncture resistance
- Excellent sealability and low shrinkage Ensures stable packaging performance
