The flexible packaging industry has grown significantly in recent years. As the cost of technology falls and the trend towards reducing packaging continues, metallised paper is becoming increasingly popular. Its adaptability to many different applications and designs has made the method a top choice for many brand owners, with its high barrier properties making it particularly popular for food and drink packaging. This study covers the latest developments in this rapidly changing industry, giving you a clear overview of the market, the trends and drivers in the industry and where new advances will be made.
Metallised papers have had to counter the threat of substitution from filmic solutions in packaging and labelling for a number of years. Utilising their good image and benefits in terms of environmental impact, cost effectiveness and high quality point-of-sale appeal, metallised papers continue to carve out innovative niches. This study analyses the latest advances in processing, materials technology, product launches across a range of end-uses and the key companies across supply-chain.
