Converter Foil for Packaging
Novelis is a major producer of converter foil used in flexible packaging for food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
Flexibility & Reliability – With multi-plant, fully integrated production, the company offers a wide range of converter foil specifications and features consistent and reliable supply.
For the flexible packaging sector, Novelis also offers a short lead time solution known as Reflex: typically 3 weeks delivery. Such reactivity is often invaluable in the market place.
Runnability – Novelis is committed in producing converter foil of quality, with predictable and uniform characteristics; thus to ensure its runnability during the converting operations at the customer’s site. Reduction of preparation time and removal of down time, due to breaks, are precious levers to maintain production rhythm and improve productivity. This is vital for packaging producers who must respond efficiently to increasingly fragmented demands and to the resulting number of short runs.
Food Contact – Novelis’ converter foil meets mandatory standards on contact with foodstuffs. Furthermore, the company prides itself on good hygiene practices at its production facilities, in line with international food and pharmaceutical packaging standards.
Unique & Versatile Properties – Converter foil is typically aimed at being used in flexible laminates where it is layered with other supporting material such as polymers or paper. A unique combination of physical characteristics makes aluminium foil an essential material for the flexible packaging industry: As part of a laminate, an aluminium foil layer as thin as 6 microns acts as a barrier against gas and light and prolongs the shelf-life of sensitive and valuable foodstuffs or pharmaceutical and cosmetic goods; It is highly formable and can also be ‘dead folded’, which is beneficial when embossing surface designs or wrapping; Novelis foil is highly compatible with all kinds of converting operations: laminating, extrusion, lacquering, printing, embossing, and cutting; The heat resistance and high thermal and electrical conductivity of aluminium can ease converting or filling processes; The decorative potential of aluminium foil lends itself to strong shelf-appeal and striking pack design; Aluminium foil helps meet source reduction and sustainability goals through the development of lightweight packaging. After it has been used, aluminium can be recycled or recovered in the form of energy.
