Reduce plastics in flexible packaging with SHIELDPLUS®
Paper as a packaging material is used in a growing number of end applications. SHIELDPLUS® provides yet new possibilities for brand owners because of its water-based barrier. SHIELDPLUS® is our solution for packages where presently barrier films made from plastic or aluminium are used.
