Aluminum Liner Innovation: Beyond Conventional Barriers

1. Material Science

• Kraft Paper: 120-180gsm (bleached or unbleached options).
• Aluminum Foil: 7-12μm (99.5% purity, alloy 8011).
• Adhesive Layer: Solvent-free polyurethane (1-3g/m² coating).

2. Barrier Performance

Metric	VidePak Standard	Industry Average
Oxygen Transmission	<1 cc/m²/24hr (Mocon)	5-8 cc/m²/24hr
Water Vapor	<0.5 g/m²/24hr (ASTM F1249)	2-4 g/m²/24hr
Light Blockage	99.7% (380-780nm)	90%

3. Customization Depth

• Printing: 8-color HD flexo (KBA-Rapida 106).
• Finishes: Matte, glossy, or soft-touch coatings.
• Features: Reclosable zippers, tear notches, degassing valves.

Printing Mastery: From Concept to Consumer Hands

1. Color Precision

• Single-Color: Pantone® Matching System (PMS).
• Multi-Color: CMYK + 2 spot colors (6-color process).
• Photorealistic: 160 lpi (lines per inch) resolution.

2. Surface Enhancements

• Matte Finish: 3-5μm aqueous coating (low-glare aesthetics).
• Glossy Finish: 8-10μm UV coating (high-shelf impact).
• Tactile Effects: Embossing, debossing, or spot varnish.

3. Equipment Precision

• Starlinger viscos® V-1200: 0.05mm registration accuracy.
• W&H MIRAFLEX Press: 450m/min printing speed.
• Inspection Systems: 100% defect detection (Cognex In-Sight).
