#TechTipTuesday What is good foldability?
Our metallized paper-based packaging products are suited to a wide range of applications, whether it’s chocolate packaging or candy wrap. Many utilisations have in common is that they require excellent foldability, or dead fold properties. But what exactly does that imply?
Think about individually-wrapped candies for example. While their bright, shimmery wrappers may be eye-catching, looks aren’t their only function: they also protect their contents in bulk bags or shop displays.
To do this, they need to be able to fold or twist without springing back spontaneously, and hold their shape for as long as required without tearing or breaking.
Foldability also contributes to packaging’s quality of the end result. Here at Nissha Metallizing Solutions, our products owe their functionality primarily to the art of metallization. Our end-product is metallized paper: a fiber-based monomaterial that offers comparable technical performance to many multilayer alternatives that includes plastic films or foils.
