Lecta has developed new metallized papers with functionalities specifically oriented towards flexible packaging, recyclable products with the aim of replacing some of the materials currently in use that contain plastic.
The new Metalvac Seal and Metalvac Barrier WV are the result of innovative work based on Lecta's expertise in direct high-vacuum metallization, the application of coatings and the search for the appropriate components to achieve the desired functionalities. Both products we present have characteristics suitable for specific flexible packaging applications, and in both cases, they are recyclable and therefore more sustainable.
Metalvac Seal: Functional metallized paper with heat-sealing properties on the back. Suitable for graphic and flexible packaging applications (such as flowpacks, sachets, envelopes, or wrappers) for non-food products (collectible cards, stickers, toys, hotel amenities, etc.) and food products that do not require a specific barrier. The shiny metallized side is suitable for offset printing (conventional and UV), flexography (UV, solvent, and water-based), and gravure.
Metalvac Barrier WV: Functional metallized paper with heat-sealing and barrier properties against water vapor, light, and a certain level of grease. Suitable for flexible packaging applications (such as flowpacks, sachets, wrappers, caps, etc.) for both non-food and food products (such as confectionery, coffee, tea, powdered products, etc.). Heat-sealable on the metallized interior side. Printable on the exterior side through gravure, flexography, and offset printing.
