I don't think that is what you mean

When I was a child my mother explained the difference between "famous" and "infamous". Someone or something was "infamous" if it became "famous" for negative reasons. So, Three Mile Island, Bhopal, Chernobyl, and the Exxon Valdez are all "infamous" for their own reasons.

It appears that someone at the Montessori school is a bit confused and thinks that the "in" prefix in the word "infamous" is the same as the "in" prefix in the word "inflammable", where it means extremely.

This level of linguistic confusion is not what I am looking for at an educational institution.

Bopa Laminating Film exceptional strength and longevity have made it a crucial component of modern packaging. It has a great resilience to moisture and punctures, making it ideal for use in food packaging. BOPA film helps preserve the freshness of vacuum-sealed foods for a longer period, which is why many manufacturers now use it for things like frozen food, cheese, and meat. Its barrier characteristics and capacity to retain scent make it a valuable component of contemporary packaging solutions.
