Metallic Paper & Board

Metallic paper and board is a type of decorative and functional material used in the printing of high-end cigarette, food, cosmetic, and daily use packaging. It features a metallic finish that is applied to the paper surface through a process of compositing and peeling off a PET transfer film. The resulting paper is a stunning, shiny, and reflective surface that catches the eye and gives your printed packaging a luxurious look and feel. Perfect for offset printings,UV printing,rotogravure and flexographic printings.

Transfer Metallized Paper Manufacturing Process

Transfer metallisation is a process used to apply a thin metallic layer onto various surfaces by transferring metal from a carrier film. This process allows for the creation of metallic or holographic finishes on non-metallic materials, giving them a shiny, reflective, or metallic appearance without the need for direct metal coating. It is commonly used in industries like packaging, printing, textiles, and decorations.

Heating and embossing the coated PET films to get the specific holographic effects.
Metallizing
A thin layer of metal,typically aluminum,is vacuum-deposited or sputter-coated onto the release lacquer on the carrier film to create a metallized film with a reflective surface.
Composite the PET transfer film and base paper by eco-friendly glue.

Our Paper Metallizing Process

Metalized paper comes in two types: direct metallized paper and transfer metallized paper. Both are recyclable when used in combination with biodegradable paper & boards.

 

Direct metallized paper has a metal layer directly applied to the paper, no need to use any foils to make our paper products, making it cost-effective and suitable for mass production, such as for cigarette inner liners, beer, beverage labels, and food packagings like candy and tea.

 

Transfer metallized paper performs best on lighter boards, such as particularly thin paper (i.e.tipping paper for cigarettes) with better moisture resistance, gloss, and a smoother, more uniform surface, is ideal for high-quality printing and complex designs, such as brochures and metallic gift wrapping paper​ and metallic packaging for tobacco, cosmetic. It is also used for security features in branding, enhancing protection against counterfeiting.

Direct Metallized Paper Manufacturing Process

Direct metallizing is an advanced coating technology that applies metal coatings to substrates in a vacuum chamber. This process ensures a highly uniform and durable layer of metal, which can be tailored to meet specific requirements. It provides superior adhesion and a more consistent finish, making it ideal for high-quality packaging solutions. Unlike traditional transfer methods, using direct metalized paper can be a more eco-friendly option for brands looking to reduce discarded materials as part of their production processes.

Metallic Labels

Our metallized labels made by our metallic papers favored by printers, converters and brands that prioritize both aesthetics and durability. Common applications include premium product packaging for beverages like wine, beer, and spirits, where the metallic shine enhances brand appeal. They are also used in cosmetics, personal care products, and luxury goods to create a high-end appearance.
