Secure barrier with new laminate packaging

Camvac launches Camfoil - a new multi-layer metallised laminate that provides a light, moisture and gas barrier.

The barrier properties of packaging are important for protecting products, especially those such as food. Camvac is launching Camfoil, a new multi-layer metallised laminate that provides a light, moisture and gas barrier.

Camfoil was developed as alternative to aluminium foil and offers the same functions, but eliminates many of its weaknesses, making this new innovation perfect for a wide range of flexible packaging applications. The material has also been specially developed for its heat-sealing properties - the film is designed to heat-seal through contaminants, making it ideal for Powdered products such as milk and infant formula, protein and whey powder makes. It is also suitable for foods such as peanuts and other snacks that require robust light and gas barriers.

Camfoil is known as Triplex laminate with extreme barrier The range is available for further processing and Camvac can supply a printable finished goods laminate with a range of non-woven sealants including PE, PET, CPP and OPP.

„Camfoil is a next generation laminate that sets new standards for barrier packaging. Camfoil eliminates the risk of pinholing while providing an excellent gas and water vapour barrier and the potential to extend product shelf life. It is ideal for extreme applications, for example vacuum insulation panels containing silica or liquid detergents, as well as normal and powdered foods.“
