Camvac unveils Camfoil barrier film

Camvac, a supplier of metallized and transparent barrier films and laminates, has launched its latest product, Camfoil. Developed as a multi-layered metallized laminate, Camfoil delivers the light, moisture and gas barrier that maintains high performance throughout the complete supply chain. 

Created as an alternative to aluminum foil, Camfoil is suitable for multiple flexible packaging applications. The material has also been specifically engineered for its heat seal characteristics – the film is tailored to heat seal through contamination making it ideal for powdered products such as milk and infant formula, protein and whey powders. It’s also suitable for food items such as peanuts and other snacks that require robust light and gas barriers.  

Typical consumer end applications for Camfoil include bags, sachets, pouches and lidding film for products as wide-ranging as dry food, dry powder packaging and bulk shipment of high oxygen and moisture-sensitive products – including household cleaning products. Camfoil is available as a triplex extreme barrier laminate for further conversion downstream, and Camvac can supply a print-receptive finished goods laminate with a range of sealant webs, including PE, PET, CPP and OPP.  

Camvac’s director of product development, Gary Chalkley, explained: ‘Camfoil is a truly next-generation laminate that sets a new high bar for barrier packaging. Camfoil removes the risk of pin-holing while providing an excellent gas and water vapour barrier and providing the potential to extend product shelf-life. It’s eminently suitable for extreme applications, for example vacuum insulation panels that contain silica or liquid cleaning products, as well as regular and powdered foodstuffs.’ 

Chalkley added: ‘Camfoil is a premium, market leading product for performance and packaging applications. The laminate is further enhanced by its sealant web which can be tailored to your packaging’s bespoke end use, so just give us a call to experience Camvac’s world class customer service. It utilizes locally sourced raw materials so we’re offering customers improved supply chain resilience too. Camfoil is a first-class material that sustains product integrity through its entire lifecycle. It’s goodbye aluminum foil and get ready for real flexible packaging revolution!’
