Lecta unveils new functional Metalvac papers

Lecta has developed new metallized papers with functionalities specifically oriented towards flexible packaging and recyclable products.

The Metalvac Seal is a functional metallized paper with heat-sealing properties on the back. It is suitable for graphic and flexible packaging applications (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.

The Metalvac Barrier WV is a functional metallized paper with heat-sealing and barrier properties against water vapour, light, and a certain level of grease. It is suitable for flexible packaging applications for both non-food and food products (confectionery, coffee, tea, powdered products, etc.). It is heat-sealable on the metallized interior side and printable on the exterior side through gravure, flexography, and offset printing.
