Ahlstrom equips converters and brands with an adaptable platform for paper-based flexible packaging. LamiBak™ Flex is ideally suited for further processing, such as coating, metallization, or extrusion, delivering superior barrier properties across food applications, including pouches, sachets, and flow packs. Its advanced design enables reduced primer coating needs, achieving exceptional barrier properties while optimizing costs and maintaining a sustainable and recyclable profile.
LamiBak™ Flex underscores Ahlstrom’s commitment to sustainable flexible packaging solutions. By offering a paper-based flexible packaging alternative, it helps brands reduce reliance on plastics and metallic substrates, aligning with industry regulations and consumer demand for more eco-friendly packaging.
LamiBak™ Flex is made from 100% responsibly sourced wood pulp (FSC®, PEFC™ certified). It is certified recyclable in Europe (EN 13430 and CEPI protocol standards). In addition to that, the LamiBak™ range is also suitable for compostability depending on regional standard. It’s PFAS-free, and features a natural grease barrier. Additionally, it reduces material use by minimizing the need for excessive primer and barrier coatings.
