Metalling Paper & Board
Metallised paper and board — a metallic surface with the converting behaviour of paper.
Metallised paper and board — a metallic surface with the converting behaviour of paper.
Metallised paper gives the shelf appearance of foil laminate while remaining a paper-based structure, which is what makes it recyclable in paper streams where a foil laminate is not.
It is used where the pack has to look premium and still run on standard carton and label lines. Substrate, metallising and finish are set against the application.
Typical applications — Premium cartons and labels, wraps, and packaging requiring a metallic surface

Figures are typical values from mill technical data, not a guaranteed specification. We agree the binding specification with you before the mill runs.
It depends on the mill and the run. Send the specification, the quantity and the discharge port, and it is confirmed with the quotation.
Reels or sheets — slit to your line width.
Full technical data sheet and batch test report on request.
