Designed for flexible packaging, LamiBak™ Flex builds on the success of the original LamiBak™ product line. The product addresses the growing need for safe, sustainable and high-barrier packaging materials.
LamiBak™ Flex is ideally suited for further processing, such as coating, metallisation, or extrusion, delivering superior barrier properties across food applications, including pouches, sachets, and flow packs. Its advanced design enables reduced primer coating needs, achieving exceptional barrier properties while optimising costs and maintaining a sustainable and recyclable profile.
LamiBak™ Flex underscores Ahlstrom’s commitment to sustainable flexible packaging solutions. By offering a paper-based flexible packaging alternative, it helps brands reduce reliance on plastics and metallic substrates, aligning with industry regulations and consumer demand for more eco-friendly packaging.
LamiBak™ Flex is made from 100% responsibly sourced wood pulp (FSC®, PEFC™ certified). It is certified recyclable in the US (WMU-certified) and in Europe (EN 13430 and CEPI protocol standards). In addition to that, the LamiBak™ range is also suitable for compostability depending on regional standard. It’s PFAS-free, and features a natural grease barrier. Additionally, it reduces material use by minimising the need for excessive primer and barrier coatings.
‘With LamiBak™ Flex, we address the critical challenge of delivering high-barrier paper for flexible packaging while supporting sustainability goals,’ said Guillaume Latourette, Vice President of Ahlstrom’s Global Food Packaging business. ‘This innovation represents the future of functionalised base paper for converters and brands alike.’
