High-Barrier Laminates

Built for shelf life, sealed for your line.

High-barrier rollstock and coffee bag structures engineered with foil, metallized, and EVOH laminates. Qualified on Bosch, ICA, Opem, and Matrix FFS machines and produced with in-house solventless lamination.

Features

Barrier structures that protect and perform.

  • Foil & metallized barriers

    Foil and metallized PET laminates that block light, moisture, and oxygen for shelf-stable coffee, snacks, and retort formats.

  • EVOH oxygen barrier

    High-barrier EVOH coextruded and laminated structures for extended shelf life and MAP/CAP applications.

  • FFS machine qualified

    Engineered and tested for Bosch, ICA, Opem, and Matrix form-fill-seal machines — consistent seal, tension, and registration.

  • Solventless lamination

    Solventless adhesive lamination of Paper, Foil, BOPP, Nylon, LDPE, PET, and other flexible substrates.

  • Light & moisture protection

    Structures designed for UV, moisture, and flavor-sensitive products such as coffee, nuts, and confectionery.

  • Cold-chain & frozen options

    Low-temperature crack-resistant structures and steam-vent perforated formats for freezer-to-microwave use.
