CarePac offers several methods of pouch metallization
Embossed Foil
The traditional form of metallization is embossed foil. This is the method where metalized foil is placed on the surface of the pouch through a embossing process. Embossed foil yields similar results to the other metallization effects but is limited to gold and silver colors.
Relief Metallization
With relief metallization, metalized material is incorporated into the pouch's lamination structure then ink base is applied to obscure the metallization in all areas except those where metallization is desired. Then additional ink is used to colorize the metallization as needed.
DMET Metallization
In the DMET metallization process, clear base material is partially metalized before printing, this allows the combination of a clear view window and metalized areas to exist on the same surface of the pouch. This is a combination of a printing and custom die procedure.
