Recyclable Food Packaging

Roll-to-Roll Vacuum Coating Equipment & Processes

Sustainable food packaging has become increasingly important in recent years, with flexible packaging featuring transparent vacuum‑barrier layers playing a key role.

Monomaterial packaging reduces weight and can be recycled with lower energy use, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint than rigid metal or glass packaging. Compared with aluminum‑coated films, monomaterial films also offer clear recycling advantages.

At the same time, packaging must still ensure long shelf life. This requires monomaterial solutions that provide strong barriers against water vapor and oxygen while remaining flexible. Polymer films coated with SiOx using roll‑to‑roll vacuum deposition deliver exactly these properties.

For the deposition of SiOx layers for sustainable mono-material food packaging, we offer you the FOBA. This gives you a roll-to-roll electron beam evaporation system that meets the productivity requirements and cost targets of this specific market.
