When you're stocking packaging materials for a horizontal flow wrapper, the film width you pick determines what you can actually run through the machine. Choose a roll that's too narrow and your product won't seal cleanly; choose one that's too wide and you're buying film you don't need. These two clear heat sealable rolls come from the same BOPP film family, with matching roll length, film thickness, and core size-so the real decision narrows down to one dimension: how wide a package you need to wrap.
Quick verdict
The 6.29" (160mm) roll (MPN SFEC629) and the 7.08" (180mm) roll (MPN SFEC708) are cut from the same clear BOPP film family. They share the same heat-sealable stock and single-wound format, so day-to-day sealing behavior should be consistent. The meaningful difference is the width: 6.29" covers standard-size flow-wrapped items, while 7.08" leaves room for medium-to-larger packages. Pick the 6.29" roll for the lower listed price of the pair; pick the 7.08" roll when the package needs the wider profile.

Where each roll wins
The 6.29" SFEC629 wins when your package fits within a 160mm film profile. For standard flow-wrapped items, this is the more economical roll because you're not buying width you won't use.
The 7.08" SFEC708 wins when the product itself sits at the larger end of the range. Its description targets medium-to-larger product packaging, giving you extra lateral coverage the 6.29" roll can't provide. If your package needs the 180mm profile, this is the roll that physically covers it.
Product notes
SFEC629] Clear Heat Sealable Packaging Film Roll - Clear 6.29" (160mm) Wide
This roll carries the SFEC629 part number and the lower listed price of the two at $198.20. It's the narrow option in this pair, made for medium-size product packaging on flow wrapper systems. If your flow-wrapped items fit comfortably within a 6.29" film profile, this roll gives you the film you need without paying for unused width. That makes it a straightforward pick when your line is already set for the 160mm format. Its limitation is the lack of extra lateral room: anything that needs more than 160mm of wrap width will exceed this roll's profile, so larger packages are off the table.
SFEC708] Clear Heat Sealable Packaging Film Roll - Clear 7.08" (180mm) Wide
The SFEC708 takes the same clear BOPP film and extends it to 7.08" (180mm) wide, with a listed price of $231.79. Its description points to medium-to-larger product packaging, making it the roll to reach for when your item needs more lateral film coverage than the 6.29" version offers. The heat-sealable construction matches the narrower roll, and it's equally at home on horizontal flow wrappers with select VFFS compatibility. The limitation is the higher listed price: if your product routinely fits within the 160mm profile, the extra 0.79" of width here is capacity you won't use.
Final choice by use case
- Standard flow-wrapped items that fit within 6.29" (160mm): go with the SFEC629 roll. It gives you the exact film profile your packages need at the lower listed price of the pair.
- Products that need a 7.08" (180mm) wrap width: go with the SFEC708 roll. It's the one that covers the larger wrap width your package requires.
