Saica Flex launches metallized mono-material structure

Saica Flex, Saica Group’s division for flexible packaging, has developed a new mono-material, metallized structure designed to cater to a wide variety of products.

The structure is composed of three layers (triplex), all of which are made of polyethylene (PE), thus creating a monomaterial, which is in great demand in today’s market.

Saica Flex’s new product, which is already present in the market, provides a premium metallized appearance with high barrier which provide maximum protection to the product in the package.

The middle layer of the packaging, a metallized PE, can be used with medium barrier levels, which prioritizes the metallized appearance; or with very high barrier levels, which aids capturing and retaining humidity, oxygen and odors, suitable for products that require a very high level of protection.

These developments result in a versatile product and concept which is highly adaptable to the products, specific needs and circumstances of clients at any given time.

The new packaging technology can be used in different sectors and markets, whether food or non-food products. Its high barriers to water, vapor, oxygen and light, reinforce the protection of the contained product.

In addition, the structural performance, this technology does not compromise printing quality, instead, it raises the quality to the highest level, providing a premium look in a lightweight package.
