Metalized Bags, Pouches & Packaging (CALPAC 100)

CALPAC 100 is a durable packaging material with buried metal construction. It offers Faraday cage performance for static charge shielding and moisture, light and oxygen protection.

Caltex Plastics has CALPAC metalized barrier bags for many products. We manufacture our bags using a thermal transfer process, which protects the product physically and electronically.

CALPAC 100 Metalized Packaging Features

The features of CALPAC 100 metalized barrier bags include:

• Light protection: Some products are light-sensitive — they may degrade in quality if exposed to artificial light or sunlight. CALPAC 100 prevents light from reaching the product to preserve its integrity.
• Moisture barrier: Water vapors, humidity and other types of moisture in the atmosphere affect moisture-sensitive products. CALPAC 100 metalized packaging keeps moisture from getting to the product.
• Oxygen protection: Oxygen can reduce a product’s quality. CALPAC 100 acts as a barrier to protect the product from the effects of air exposure and oxidation.
• Odor barrier: The odor barrier quality of CALPAC 100 keeps odors from the atmosphere out of the bag and away from the product. It also retains the product’s scent and flavor in the packaging.
• Vacuum packaging: Vacuum sealing removes all the air from the package’s interior before it’s sealed. CALPAC 100 is strong enough to withstand vacuuming and flexible enough to form around the product’s shape.

– Ideal for packaging of PCB’s and IC’s
– Extremely durable buried metal construction give Faraday Cage performance needed to shield against static charges.
– Available with zipper closures.
– Contains no amines or amides, is N-Octanoic acid free and is polycarbonate compatible.
– Custom printing and thermal transfer are available.
– Side gussett, bottom gussett, and T-Seal bag configurations.
