Due to the high level of coating and metalizing knowledge, manufacturers can provide custom solutions for almost any industrial or packaging application. These applications cover everything from simple to extremely difficult constructions.

Companies are offering the broadest selection of premium metalized films available to meet the demands of customers. For this, manufacturers are making metalized polyester films with exceptional barrier qualities, superior metal adhesion, or excellent chemical resistance.

Moreover, matt, gold, and white metalized films provide distinction options for extraordinary visual effects. To maintain a high level of product quality, companies require a stringent quality control system.

Industry participants use two different growth strategies: the first is primarily volume driven and concentrates on building substantial supply capacities, while the second is based on offering tailored solutions through the use of innovation and technology to improve packaging performance and benefit the environment.

Cost-effective films with strong metal adhesion are increasingly in demand for use in superior barrier applications in challenging environments. The remedies that are currently on the market, nevertheless, are scarce and expensive.

A metallic film is a tried-and-true method to generate product differentiation, regardless of whether you're trying to make your product look more appealing on the shelf or you require a metal finish for your finished product.

Metallized polyester film solutions are used for labelling and packaging to distinguish the goods in the store. It is used in different visual applications, such as point-of-purchase displays and signage. Metalized polyester film and metalized polyethylene film are frequently used for these purposes by customers, and thus the revenue prospects are high.

Additionally, innovations for visual improvement with metalized PET film and other substrate types are not just for consumer packaging. End users can also use metallized surfacing films to give the upcoming appliance or car part the appearance and feel of real metal.

The demand for metalized polyester films is growing as a result of a strong emphasis on product innovation and the ongoing design and testing of new materials, processes, and technologies.

Metallised Polyester Films Market Overview

The global market for metallised polyester films caters to packaging application in market segments such as food, pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics etc. Metallised polyester films is a special grade of plastic film with coating of aluminum material.

Metallised polyester films have superior gloss when metallised on optically clear base film. Metallised polyester films are one side coated layer whereas other side is either plain or corona treated.

Global Metallised Polyester Films Market – Dynamics

Metallised polyester films are in high demand in pharmaceutical and food & beverages sector due to cost effective packaging solution offered by metallised polyester films. However the wide known application also includes wrapping films, labeling films, peelable and non-peelable lidding films, etc. The global market for metallised polyester films is expected to show impressive CAGR during the forecast period 2017-2025.

Shift in global packaging market from flexible packaging formats to flexible packaging formats is further expected to boost the global demand for metallised polyester films. In general, the use of metallised polyester films to achieve barrier properties needed for product shelf-life has been increasing over the years.

Metallised polyester films offer sleek metallic appearance of a polyester film at reduced weight and cost. Metallised polyester films are used for their high tensile strength, transparency, reflectivity, gas and odor barrier properties and electrical insulation. Manufacturers supply metallised polyester films as per thickness and width specifications required by end customers.

Metallised polyester films are applied to aluminum and offer a tough and resilient surface capable of performing many post forming operations. Metallised polyester films are available in large variety of finishes including silver, gold, pewter, and copper. Metallised film are abrasion and corrosion resistant.

Metallised polyester films are free of hexavalent chrome, heavy metals, and substances of very high concern. Metallised polyester film is the finest solution when it comes to high gas barrier levels, aroma and flavor preservation.

Metallised polyester films manufacturer offers a variety of adhesion promoting polyester films along with combination of plasma gases to get excellent metal adhesion and general gas barrier as well as a significant improvement of the water vapor barrier.

Metallised polyester films market is growing in areas of patterned metallising, clear oxide coating, high performance coating, product security and brand authentication. However aluminium is not an acceptable image in some regions such as Germany etc.

There is high opportunity of metallised polyester films in labeling with development of new glue applied film bases, and in sustainable films such as PLA (polylactic acid) etc. On February 2015, Cosmo Films launched the highly effective high barrier metallised BOPP film particularly for packed food.
