METALVUOTO S.P.A.
Metalvuoto founded in the 1970, was one of the pioneers of the industrialization of the plastic film and paper metallization technology.
The possibility to coat and metallize film of PET, BOPP, OPA, etc... enables Metalvuoto to propose a wide range of products having different properties: very high barrier, sealability, improved printability and transparency. The very high barrier level reached by Metalvuoto film permits to our coated or coated and metallized products to be considered a real alternative to aluminium foil. The substitution of aluminium foil permits a considerable reduction of costs and pollution.
