metaLIZED CPP (VMCPP) FILM — High-Sealability Vacuum-metallized Cast Polypropylene Film
What Is metalized CPP (VMCPP) Film?
metalized CPP Film, also known as VMCPP, is a vacuum-metallized cast polypropylene film designed for applications requiring excellent heat-seal performance, moisture barrier, and premium optical appearance.
Unlike VMPET and VMBOPP, VMCPP offers superior seal strength, high flexibility, and outstanding compatibility with multilayer laminated packaging structures.
VMCPP Film is commonly used as the inner sealing layer of high-barrier pouches and laminated rolls, making it essential for modern food packaging, retortable structures, and moisture-sensitive products.
Key Advantages of VMCPP Film
1. Superior Heat-Seal Strength
This is the biggest advantage of VMCPP.
-
Low-temperature sealing capability
-
High sealing strength even under high-speed packaging conditions
-
Excellent hot-tack performance
-
Ideal for vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) and horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS)
VMCPP is widely used as the sealant layer in flexible packaging laminate.
2. Enhanced Moisture Barrier
CPP naturally offers higher moisture barrier than BOPP.
After metallization, barrier performance is significantly improved:
-
Very low WVTR
-
Moisture-proof and vapor-proof
-
Ideal for snacks, powders, dehydrated items, and oil-containing foods
3. Excellent Gloss & Reflective Surface
Vacuum metallization gives the film:
-
Highly reflective silver appearance
-
Uniform gloss and metallic brightness
-
Enhanced product shelf appeal
Suitable for premium printed packaging and brand marketing.
4. Flexible & Durable Mechanical Properties
CPP is softer and tougher than BOPP/PET:
-
Excellent puncture resistance
-
High tear resistance
-
Strong durability under flexing
-
Good anti-wrinkle properties
This makes VMCPP ideal for stand-up pouches, zipper bags, back-seal packs, and fin-seal wrappers.
5. Perfect Compatibility with Laminations
VMCPP is commonly laminated with:
-
PET / BOPET
-
BOPP
-
Nylon / BOPA
-
PE
-
Paper
It is the preferred sealant layer for:
-
Retort pouches
-
Food packaging rolls
-
Barrier soup / sauce pouches
-
Coffee bags and snack bags

Applications of metalized CPP (VMCPP) Film
1. Food Packaging (Most Common Use)
VMCPP is the dominant sealant film for laminated food pouches:
-
Snacks, nuts, cookies
-
Instant noodles seasoning bags
-
Dried fruits and dehydrated foods
-
Candy & confectionery packaging
-
Coffee & powdered drink mixes
-
Frozen food packaging
Its flexibility and sealing strength deliver stable pouch performance.
2. High-Temperature & Retort Packaging
VMCPP can be integrated into layered structures for:
-
Retort pouch base materials
-
Hot-fill packaging
-
Microwaveable packaging structures
Its heat resistance and machinability make it suitable for semi-retort laminates.
3. Industrial & Chemical Packaging
-
Fertilizer and seed packaging
-
Moisture-sensitive material packaging
-
Multi-layer industrial barrier rolls
Provides moisture barrier and durability wher toughness is required.
4. Premium Printing & Decorative Use
-
Gift packaging film
-
metallic decorative wraps
-
Branding & promotional packaging
-
High-gloss laminated printing
