For packaging materials, containers, and closures used on a packaging line, two clear heat-sealable rolls can seem interchangeable until width, roll length, and machine language enter the decision. SFEC708 and SFEC787 are both new film rolls, but one emphasizes automatic bagging while the other specifically names horizontal flow wrappers and select VFFS systems. The useful choice is the roll that matches the packaging role, not simply the shared clear finish.
Quick verdict
The SFEC708 is the lower-priced choice and is described for automatic bagging machines. The SFEC787 costs more but pairs a longer roll with stated compatibility for horizontal flow wrappers and select vertical form-fill-seal systems. Both are clear, heat-sealable film rolls, and the listed-price spread is $104.88. Start with the machine application and roll format, then use price as the deciding factor between suitable options.

| Roll format | 3-inch tube | Single-wound roll with 3-inch core |
Where each film roll wins
SFEC708 wins for stated automatic-bagging use
SFEC708 is the more direct match when the packaging operation uses an automatic bagging machine. Its description also identifies it as clear, food-grade plastic film, making that designation part of the selection case for food packaging applications.
SFEC787 wins for named flow-wrapper compatibility
SFEC787 is the clearer fit for a horizontal flow-wrapper setup. Its description additionally names compatibility with select VFFS systems, giving it a more specific machine-oriented role for operations using those formats.
Product notes
SFEC708 Clear Heat Sealable Packaging Film Roll - 8.75 in (220 mm) Wide
SFEC708 is the sensible selection when a 220 mm film width is the deciding format requirement. It contains 1,000 m per roll and uses an OPP 20 + PP 15 construction described as clear food-grade plastic film. At USD 150.00, it has the lower listed price in this comparison. Its limitation is the shorter stated roll length next to SFEC787's 1,800 m roll, which changes the tradeoff for packaging runs that place greater emphasis on film length per roll. Choose SFEC708 when the broader listed format and lower price align with the operation, rather than choosing between two rolls simply because both are clear and heat sealable.
SFEC787 Clear Heat Sealable Packaging Film Roll - 7.87 in (200 mm) Wide
SFEC787 suits packaging teams that prioritize the listed 1,800 m roll length. The 200 mm film is described as transparent BOPP with a 30-micron thickness, supplied as single-wound roll stock on a 3-inch core. USD 254.88 is the higher listed price, and the 200 mm format is narrower than SFEC708. That is the key limitation for applications built around a wider film requirement. Choose SFEC787 when its longer roll specification and BOPP format are the stronger match for the packaging plan, especially where the named horizontal flow-wrapper or select VFFS application applies.
Final choice by use case
- Choose SFEC708 for automatic bagging applications where clear food-grade plastic film is the desired material description.
- Choose SFEC787 for horizontal flow wrappers or the select VFFS systems named in its description.
- When both machine descriptions could work, use the listed roll format and the $104.88 price spread to make the final call.
