On-The-Go Convenience is Adding Up
We all use them every day or someone you know does for on-the-go drink mixes, electrolytes, and protein powders – stick packs and sachets. These convenient single-serve packages have become an CPG fixture for a wide variety of product applications – and are likely heading for the landfill or worse.
Traditional high barrier flexible packaging often relies on aluminum foil bonded to petroleum-based plastics to create a strong barrier. While this combination excels at keeping products fresh, it creates a barrier against something else entirely: sustainability. These packages can't be recycled through standard programs and traditionally aren't compostable, leaving them to persist in our environment for decades.
A Breakthrough Solution in Barrier Technology
TIPA Compostable Packaging has engineered a breakthrough solution to this persistent problem with their Ultra High Barrier Metallized Laminate (T.LAM 428). Instead of using aluminum foil, TIPA utilizes a metallized coating that delivers exceptional barrier protection while remaining 100% home compostable.
This innovative 3-ply laminate offers superior protection against moisture, oxygen, UV light, gases, aromas, oils, and greases—everything brands need to extend shelf life and maintain product freshness. Made from renewable materials, it combines high-performance barrier properties with strong sealing strength, excellent printability, and anti-static properties. Packaging that doesn’t stay behind!
Proven Use Cases
The applications are extensive: from protein and drink powders, fast food condiment sachets, and pre-made salad dressings to confectionery, baked goods, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, aromatic herbs and more. The laminate is compatible with HFFS, VFFS, and pouch machines, making it a practical drop-in solution for brands looking to transition to sustainable packaging.
