KNP/M
Among all plastic films, Coveme KNP/M offers the best combination between mechanical and barrier properties. It is used for high barrier and decorative applications and can also be non metallised (see KNP). It is the ideal substrate for the packaging of perishable goods. It is an excellent barrier to gases, fats and transmission of aromas - that is why it is often used to pack aromatic and oily products.
It is typically used for:
- rice packing
- pouches for salmon
- coffee
- fresh pasta
- food for animals
- pouches for mozzarella, sausages, cheese
- medical blister packs
- balloons
