This is especially true for \u201cliving\u201d products such as greens, bread, vegetables, and ready-to-eat meals. One of the solutions that allows products to \u201cbreathe\u201d is film perforation. But which one should you choose \u2013 micro or macro? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"535\" data-end=\"565\">What is Microperforation?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"567\" data-end=\"740\">Microperforation is the process of puncturing film with thin heated needles. This creates neat holes approximately 1 mm in diameter, evenly distributed across the surface.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12537 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/artha-s.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/img_9467-kopiya-1-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artha-s.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/img_9467-kopiya-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artha-s.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/img_9467-kopiya-1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artha-s.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/img_9467-kopiya-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artha-s.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/img_9467-kopiya-1-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artha-s.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/img_9467-kopiya-1-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/artha-s.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/img_9467-kopiya-1-1-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"769\">This type of perforation:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"771\" data-end=\"983\">\n<li data-start=\"771\" data-end=\"815\">\n<p data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"815\">Provides gentle, controlled air exchange<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"864\">\n<p data-start=\"818\" data-end=\"864\">Allows products to be packed while still hot<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"865\" data-end=\"903\">\n<p data-start=\"867\" data-end=\"903\">Works with CPP, PE, and BOPP films<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"983\">\n<p data-start=\"906\" data-end=\"983\">It is ideal for packaging greens, vegetables, ready meals, and bakery products<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"985\" data-end=\"1101\">At Artha-S, microperforation is performed on specialized 1000\/600 machines, with a working width of up to 1000 mm.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1138\">What is Macroperforation?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1140\" data-end=\"1325\">Macroperforation means mechanically punching larger holes (6\u20138 mm) in the film. These holes are visible to the eye and are often arranged in a row or in specific parts of the package.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1327\" data-end=\"1351\">It is mainly used for:<\/p>\n<ul
