High-Barrier Films
Our high-barrier metallized films provide superior oxygen and moisture protection for extended product shelf life. Using patented Metacoat technology, these films deliver 10x improved barrier performance compared to conventional options. Ideal for food packaging, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications requiring critical protection.
Sustainable Packaging
We develop recyclable and compostable packaging solutions using metallized polyethylene and PLA films. Our products enable mono-material structures that meet How2Recycle standards while maintaining high barrier properties. This includes PCR-content films and AlOx-coated transparent options for environmental compliance.
Contract Metallizing
Our toll metallizing services handle webs up to 100 inches wide with precision top-coating capabilities. We offer custom metallization patterns and controlled-density deposition for microwave packaging applications. Complete traceability is maintained through our comprehensive lab services and quality control processes.
Transparent Barrier Films
These high-clarity films combine laboratory-grade barrier performance with product visibility. Using vacuum-applied AlOx coatings on various substrates, they provide oxygen, moisture, and aroma protection without obscuring product presentation. Available in mono-material recyclable configurations for multiple industries.
Reflective Insulation
Our low-emissivity metallized films offer corrosion-resistant thermal protection for insulation and cold chain applications. REFLECT-MET products provide temperature resistance up to 500F with emissivity values as low as 0.05, suitable for building insulation, protective packaging, and industrial applications requiring radiant barrier properties.
