Metallized film gives snack brands the shine shoppers notice from three meters away — at a friendlier cost than full foil. Our custom metallized snack bags combine VMPET barrier layers with bold rotogravure print for chips, puffs, candies and premium confectionery.
Produced in FDA- and ISO-certified facilities, with light-barrier structures that protect fat-rich snacks from oxidation.

Metallic surfaces catch store lighting and eyes — measurable lift for impulse snack categories.
Metallized layers block the light that turns chips and nuts rancid, extending shelf life.
Combining matte and metallic zones in one design creates premium contrast without extra cost layers.
VMPET structures deliver a foil appearance with better machinability and lower cost.
Die-cut silhouettes turn small candy packs into point-of-sale sculptures.

Metallized films are checked for coating adhesion and barrier consistency before lamination. Every order runs through incoming material inspection, in-line print and seal checks, and a final AQL sampling inspection before packing. Produced in FDA- and ISO-certified facilities. Certification is held by our manufacturing partners, and test reports for migration, seal strength and barrier performance can be issued with your shipment on request.
Two production routes to fit different run sizes and budgets:
| Print route | Minimum | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Digital printing | From 5,000 pcs per design | New snack launches and multi-flavour test ranges |
| Rotogravure printing | From 10,000 pcs per design | Lowest unit cost at volume, with consistent metallic effect |
