Metalvac FP is Lecta’s metallised paper designed for flexible packaging applications that do not require any specific barrier properties, and is suitable for final applications like chocolate and ice cream cone wrappers as well as other food packaging applications without barrier requirements.
Papers used in flexible packaging must be compatible with a number of converting processes such as printing, laminating, extrusion and pouch making. They should exhibit good runnability and processability on converting equipment to ensure efficient production and high-quality packaging, properties that stand out in Metalvac FP.
The main feature distinguishing this metallised paper is the special treatment applied to it, in accordance with current regulations, to prevent it giving off odours that could alter the smell and taste of food. Metalvac FP undergoes a sensory test whereby the tiniest trace of unusual smells and taste can be detected. Additionally, the paper has several characteristics that make it suitable for this kind of application. The most important are flexibility to be adaptable to various packaging formats, and strength and printability for vibrant, high-quality graphic designs and branding.
Lecta’s Metalvac papers are manufactured with wood sourced from renewable and responsibly managed forests, making them more environmentally sustainable alternatives to non-renewable materials. Furthermore, Metalvac papers are recyclable.
Metalvac FP is part of a wide range of Lecta papers designed for flexible packaging. This new generation of recyclable papers represents a more sustainable alternative for flexible food and non-food packaging applications.
The entire Metalvac range is manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, essential for the food industry, in compliance with ISO 14001 and EMAS environmental management, ISO 50001 energy efficiency, ISO 9001 quality and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standards. It is also available upon request with PEFC or FSC® C011032 Chain of Custody forestry certifications.
