Product type
Metallized BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) is a type of flexible packaging film that has a thin layer of metal, usually aluminum, deposited on its surface. This metallization process enhances the film's barrier properties, making it more effective at preserving the freshness and quality of the packaged products. The film is lightweight, durable, and offers excellent resistance to moisture, oxygen, and light, which are critical factors in extending the shelf life of food and other sensitive items.

| Thickness | 12 to 50 microns |
| Barrier properties | Excellent moisture and oxygen barrier |
| Transparency | Opaque with metallic finish |
| Heat sealability | Available for various sealing methods |
| Printability | Suitable for flexographic and rotogravure printing |
When choosing metallized BOPP, consider the specific barrier requirements of your product, such as moisture and oxygen levels. Specify the desired thickness, as this can affect both performance and cost. Additionally, inquire about printability options if branding is important. Certifications related to food safety and compliance with industry standards may also be relevant, depending on the application. Always request samples to evaluate the film's performance in your specific use case.
