They should exhibit good runnability and processability on converting equipment to ensure efficient production and high-quality packaging, properties that stand out in <b>Metalvac FP</b>.</p><p>The main feature distinguishing this metallized paper is the special treatment applied to it, in accordance with current regulations, to prevent it giving off odors that could alter the smell and taste of food. <b>Metalvac FP</b> undergoes a sensory test whereby the tiniest trace of unusual smells and taste can be detected. Additionally, our paper has several characteristics that make it suitable for this kind of application. The most important are flexibility to be adaptable to various packaging formats, strength and printability for vibrant, high-quality graphics designs and branding.</p><p>Lecta's Metalvac papers are manufactured with wood sourced from renewable and responsibly managed forests, making them more environmentally sustainable alternatives to non-renewable materials.
