Metallization
A metallized film is a plastic film carrying an ultra-thin metal coating. The result is a bright metallic look plus added barrier against light, moisture, and oxygen.
At Elevate Packages, films are metallized in a vacuum chamber to serve a broad mix of flexible packaging applications.
Finish choices include stripe and selective metallization, and a ZnS source is used for decorative holographic films. Depending on the material and job, line speeds run as high as 400 m/min.
