Sylvicta
Sylvicta is a food contact paper engineered to achieve extraordinary barrier properties to deliver a clean, naturally translucent and sustainable packaging material. Sylvicta has a high barrier to oxygen, odours and mineral oils. It preserves the aroma and freshness of the packaged goods. Sylvicta is certified for contact with fresh, dry, frozen, moist and fatty foodstuff. Sylvicta is an extremely versatile material and is ideal for a wide range of applications. It is translucent, making see-through packaging possible and lightweight, saving transport costs. By applying a cold or heat seal coating, Sylvicta can be transformed into closed pouches making it ideal for a wide range of markets. Furthermore, its properties can be enhanced with the addition of coatings to increase light and moisture barriers to meet the demands of the specific application.

- Overlays - With a very high grease barrier, Sylvicta is the right choice to replace plastic overlays.
- Windows - Sylvicta is a truly innovative way to display your product, providing a translucent appearance and increasing shelf life.
- Wrapping - Sylvicta is a recyclable alternative to the multi-layer materials traditionally used for butter and margarine. It can be transformed into a metallized paper to preserve butter’s shelf life and maintain a consistent colour.
- Laminating - Sylvicta can be laminated to paperboards and other materials, working as a barrier against mineral oils and replacing petroleum based polymers.
- Pouches - Sylvicta will allow the production of stand-up pouches, through the application of heat or cold seal coatings. It is a sustainable solution to
multi-layered packaging. - Flow Pack - Sylvicta can be produced as a flow pack, providing excellent protection for the product as well as high quality printability.
- Sealed Bags - Pillow-bags, 3-sided bags and sachets can be made out of Sylvicta. Fatty, dry and fresh foodstuff can be packed inside a Sylvicta heat or cold sealed bag.
- Labels - Sylvicta can be transformed into eco-friendly labels that can go directly to your compost.
Sylvicta is suitable for all types of traditional printing and finishing such as offset, flexography, embossing, hot foiling and die cutting.
It is strongly recommended to pre test, particularly if using digital press and gravure printing.
