Jis Z 1707 ✦ Exclusive & Working
It specifically applies to high-polymer materials with a thickness of less than 250 µm .
Like many modern industrial standards, JIS Z 1707 is subject to periodic review. Recent trends in the industry have influenced updates to the standard:
Puncture strength is a critical property for food packaging films, as they must resist damage from sharp-edged contents such as bones, shells, or rigid product corners, as well as external protrusions during distribution. Insufficient puncture resistance can lead to pinholes, leaks, spoilage, and consumer complaints.
While JIS Z 1707 is the standard in Japan, it is often referenced alongside other international standards, such as: jis z 1707
While not mandatory for all grades, when heat sealability is claimed:
The standard also covers dimensional tolerances and visual acceptance criteria:

Assessment and measurement
By standardizing these requirements, JIS Z 1707 helps reduce over-packaging
To comply with JIS Z 1707, plastic and edible films are typically tested for several physical and mechanical properties: A roll certified to is an engineered product
Remember: A roll that says “PE film” is a commodity. A roll certified to is an engineered product.
JIS Z 1707 references a number of other JIS standards, including:
| Nominal Thickness (mm) | Tolerance (%) | |------------------------|---------------| | < 0.05 | ±10 | | 0.05 – 0.10 | ±8 | | > 0.10 | ±7 |
