Multi-Plastics introduces flexible packaging pouch materials

Posted in New Products on May 11, 2009

Multi-Plastics has added paper and film-faced pouch materials to its mono-web flexible packaging product line. As narrow web flexographic converters continue to diversify and expand into flexible packaging, the company has aligned itself with a manufacturer of laminated structures.

The stocked C1S paper-faced structure under product code 29PP has a LDPE sealant layer and is available in two basis weights. The product is said to mimic most PPFPs that are traditionally seen in the market. This industry standard construction method works across a variety of dry or wet ingredients. 

The 4WCP (white) and 4SCP (silver) are film-faced structures with strong printability, though Multi-Plastics claims that they vary from the mainstream sealant of choice due to its partner’s ability to create highly specialized sealants without adding additional costs.  This co-extrusion process allows the company to introduce DiversaSeal sealant technology to the industry. DiversaSeal enables the customer to use one structure for multiple applications. 

Also available by special order are film-faced structures with strong printability and an industry standard Surlyn sealant layer specified for added strength.

Multi-Plastics, founded in 1979, has eight facilities located in the US, Canada and the UK.
