Metallized film is a type of flexible plastic that has a layer of metal on one or both sides. It is used in a variety of applications, including electronics, packaging, and automotive.

Unlike traditional packaging materials such as paper and plastic, metallized films have a high barrier that provides protection from oxygen, moisture, vapor and odor, which helps to extend the shelf life of food products. It also enables retailers to meet their packaging specifications.

The metallized film market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years. This is due to the increasing demand for metallized films in the food and beverage sector.

When a plastic film is converted to a metallized film, a layer of metal is deposited on the film using a vapor deposition process. The deposited layer can be made of various metals, such as aluminum, nickel, copper, zinc and others.
