Pakistan BOPP film makers seek anti-dumping probe on Chinese imports as Tri-Pack swings to profit

Tri-Pack Films, a Pakistani BOPP packaging film producer, reported an after-tax profit of PKR 339.44 million for the nine months to 30 September 2026, against a net loss of PKR 372.89 million a year earlier, helped by a one-off PKR 599.45 million infrastructure-cess settlement gain. Separately, Pakistan's BOPP film industry has petitioned the National Tariff Commission for anti-dumping investigations against Chinese imports amid ongoing volume pressure.
