Business Description: Multifilm Packaging is a fully integrated manufacturer<br />
of flexible packaging solutions for the food, beverage, and confectionery<br />
industries, serving the north American market. We specialize in piece wraps<br />
for confections and high-barrier laminates.<br />
Our products include twist wraps, flow wraps, bag and pouch film, both single<br />
web and laminates. Our markets include confections, snack foods, dry foods,<br />
coffee, powders, and a variety of other applications.<br />
Our capabilities include cast film extrusion of CPP and PE, metallizing and<br />
de-metallizing, printing, laminating, coating, and slitting. All these processes<br />
are done under one roof in our facility in Elgin, IL, just outside Chicago.<br />
We are ISO 9000 2008 and AIB certified and we have a well-equipped<br />
Quality Assurance lab in-house to assure that our products meet the<br />
most rigorous quality standards - yours. We also follow GMP and HAACP<br />
guidelines.<br />
Environmental stewardship is important to Multifilm, and our newly installed<br />
Geothermal Process Cooling & HVAC System makes us one of the least<br />
energy-consuming converters around. All of our products are FDA approved<br />
and completely free of BPA and lead. We also offer materials that are PVC<br />
free, and we have the supporting documentation that our customers need.<br />
Products / services / Brands:<br />
UltraWrap - The ultimate twist material.<br />
Designed specifically to compete with cellophane where other materials<br />
have failed in the past, UltraWrap is a 5-layer cast modified, high-crystalline<br />
polyethylene based film. UltraWrap has excellent stiffness, twist and dead<br />
fold properties, and features high clarity and gloss. It is a very stable material,<br />
and will not dry out and turn brittle in low-humidity conditions. The material<br />
works very well on the majority of twist wrap machines on the market today,<br />
including cut ‘n wrap machines for taffy and caramels. UltraWrap is also ideal<br />
for wrapping chocolates and pre-formed confection.<br />
SuperSeal - The alternative sealant web.<br />
SuperSeal is a proprietary, cast-modified polypropylene sealant web that<br />
competes with OPP and PE for bag film and flow wrap laminates. With a seal<br />
layer six times thicker than most OPP grades, seals are hermetic and leakers<br />
are a thing of the past. SuperSeal has an excellent water barrier and hot tack,<br />
and easily seals through contaminations, such as food dust and spills.<br />
SuperSeal is clearer and more scratch resistant than PE, and is perfect for<br />
66 | 2012 AIMCAL SourceBook<br />
packing abrasive products in a clear window pouch. SuperSeal is also stiffer<br />
than PE and often allows for downgauging, which helps save both money<br />
and the environment by reducing the amount of packaging used.<br />
SuperSeal can be laminated to OPP, PET, and paper, and is available is<br />
many gauges ranging from 40ga to over 3 mils. The film is available in clear<br />
or white.<br />
Hi-Z - The high-barrier, metallized flow wrap.<br />
Our Hi-Z film is a proprietary, metallized sealant web that makes for an<br />
outstanding flow wrapper. The hermetic seals and barrier are far superior to<br />
an OPP/MET OPP laminate, and the running speed is much faster than a<br />
PET/MET PET/PE triplex laminate.<br />
Hi-Z is available in 1.0 mil and 1.2 mil thicknesses, can be laminated to OPP,<br />
matte OPP or PET and reverse printed for excellent gloss. It can also be<br />
laminated to a surface printed paper as a replacement for PPFP laminates in<br />
applications where the absolute barrier of foil is too expensive or simply not<br />
necessary.<br />
Hi-Z is ideal for bar applications for chocolate, granola, and energy bars<br />
and breakfast bars. It’s also perfect for any application that requires the<br />
combination of high barrier and high speed.<br />
Hi-E - The high-barrier, metallized sealant web.<br />
Similar to Hi-Z, Hi-E is a high-barrier, metallized sealant web, but more<br />
suitable for bag and pouch applications. Hi-E features high gas barrier<br />
and oxygen barrier and an easy-open feature. Just like Hi-Z, Hi-E can be<br />
laminated to a reverse printed PET or OPP, depending on the application.<br />
Hi-E is stiffer than PE, and is an excellent way to reduce material and the<br />
amount of packaging used in an application. Hi-E is available in 1.0, 1.2, and<br />
1.6 mil thicknesses.<br />
D-Met - Metallized bag with a window!<br />
D-Met is a so-called de-metallization process that partly removes metal<br />
from a metallized film, leaving a clear window in an otherwise metallized<br />
design. Backing printing inks with a metallized film gives the packaging<br />
excellent visual appeal as the colors appear metallic and shiny. With D-Met,<br />
we remove specific parts of the metal to reveal the product inside while still<br />
backing the printing inks with metal. The product is displayed like a clear<br />
window bag, and the colors have the brilliance of a metallized bag.<br />
D-Met is the ideal process for creating a package that stands out on the shelf.<br />
In today’s economy, differentiation is more important than ever, and D-Met<br />
will make the product pop on the shelf.<br />
The concept of de-metallization is not new, but it has traditionally been done<br />
mostly in Asia, commanding a premium price and creating logistics issues<br />
with long lead times. A way around it has been the use of metallized inks<br />
that have a similar appearance, but the high cost of such inks has prevented<br />
widespread use. Multifilm Packaging is the only integrated converter in north<br />
America to offer the process.<br />
D-Met can be applied to virtually any material; if it can be metallized, it can<br />
be de-metallized. The process can be applied to both single web over-wrap<br />
films and protected laminations for bag films to serve a large variety of<br />
applications. And because Multifilm is an integrated converter with in-house<br />
extrusion, printing, metallization, lamination, and now de-metallization, D-Met<br />
is more cost-effective than ever.<br />
