metaLIZED BOPP (VMBOPP) FILM — High-Barrier Vacuum-metallized BOPP Film

What Is metalized BOPP (VMBOPP) Film?

metalized BOPP Film, also known as VMBOPP, is a vacuum-metallized biaxially oriented polypropylene film produced through advanced aluminum deposition technology.
This film combines the excellent barrier protection of aluminum coating with the advantages of BOPP—lightweight structure, high clarity, moisture resistance, and excellent sealing performance.

Compared to standard PET metallized film, VMBOPP is more flexible, cost-efficient, and particularly suitable for high-speed food packaging, laminations, and moisture-sensitive applications.

Key Features & Advantages of VMBOPP Film

1. High Moisture Barrier

BOPP inherently provides excellent water vapor protection.
After metallization, it achieves a moisture barrier level suitable for long-shelf-life food packaging.

• Outstanding WVTR (Water Vapor Transmission Rate)

• Prevents humidity penetration

• Helps maintain crispness, freshness, and product stability

This makes VMBOPP widely used in snacks, biscuits, instant noodles, and dry food packaging.

2. Excellent Gloss & Reflective Appearance

metalized BOPP offers a premium metallic shine, enhancing brand visibility:

• High brightness, mirrorlike surface

• Excellent ink adhesion after corona treatment

• Ideal for premium printed packaging, decorative wrapping, and branding-focused pouches

3. Lightweight, Flexible & Cost-Efficient

Compared to PET metallized film:

• Lower density

• More flexible and easier to heat-seal

• Better cost-performance ratio for large-volume packaging production

VMBOPP is often the most economical option for FMCG flexible packaging.

4. Strong Mechanical Performance

• High tensile strength

• Good stiffness-to-thickness ratio

• Excellent dimensional stability

• Performs well on high-speed packaging lines without film breakage

5. Heat Sealability (One-Side or Two-Side)

VMBOPP can be produced as:

• Heat-seal BOPP metallized film

• Non-heat-seal metallized film for lamination

This versatility makes it suitable for both mono-layer packaging and multi-layer laminate structures.

6. Excellent Aroma & Light Barrier

The aluminum layer significantly improves light and aroma protection:

• Blocks UV & visible light

• Maintains flavor integrity

• Prevents oxidation and color change

This is critical for coffee, spices, chips, and fragrance-sensitive foods.
