Compositable flexible packaging specialist TIPA has added four new high-barrier film and laminate products to its portfolio. The company said the new offerings aim to meet growing industry demand for more sustainable alternatives to traditional plastic packaging.
The products are designed for a range of applications, including single-serve sachets, snack packaging, protein powders, vitamins and supplements, ground coffee, and tea. According to the company, the laminates provide improved moisture and oxygen barrier properties, allowing them to better preserve shelf life and product integrity.
The new laminates are compatible with conventional packaging machinery and offer both paper-based and transparent print layers, giving brands flexibility in design and branding.
Daphna Nissenbaum, co-founder and CEO of TIPA, highlighted the environmental context behind the development, pointing out that flexible packaging accounts for over 40% of consumer goods packaging, yet less than 1% of it is currently recycled in the U.S.
She added: “Consumers enjoy the convenience of single-serve packets of everything from powdered drink mixes to their daily vitamins. Now that convenience does not have to create more waste and brands can continue to deliver the products their customers want while contributing to a sustainable future.”
TIPA’s expanded product line is part of its broader strategy to provide compostable alternatives that perform similarly to conventional plastic in terms of durability and shelf life, while offering a more sustainable end-of-life option. The company manufactures its products in Europe, North America, and Australia to support global demand and reduce the environmental impact of long-distance shipping.
The new high-barrier laminates are now available to brands seeking to reduce the environmental footprint of their packaging without compromising functionality.
The company confirms that the barrier solutions are compatible with both flexo and digital printing processes, as well as working on pouching lines and form-fill-seal equipment.
