Some storage solutions call for vessels that provide a level of reliability and tensile strength that is unmatched in their handling and barrier properties. For those who want a pouch that has the protective capabilities for safeguarding everything from culinary pastes to bird seed, look no further than metalized PET pouches or Met Pet short.
The 2000 Series of Met Pet Pouches
This product line of films are comprised of Metalized polyethylene terephthalate (PET) that is better known and more easily pronounced as METPET or VMPET. What sets this line of films apart from others is the use of thin metallic coating applied to the polymeric material.
That metallic component provides a reflective exterior surface to every pouch while strengthening the barrier properties of the base polymer film extrusion. There are two types of pouches that are available as part of the 2000 Series, they are named SilverDollar and GoldMetal. As you may have surmised from the names of the pouches, one of them is typified by a silver aesthetic and the other gives off a gold reflective appearance.
In both instances, the 2000 Series of Met Pet pouches offer high levels of gloss, reliable handling properties, and suitable barrier properties to maintain the shelf life of a wide variety of items that need to be kept clean and safe but also presentable in any number of applications.
SilverDollar and GoldMetal pouches are both manufactured using metallic coatings made of Aluminum and, in some cases, Chromium and Nickel. These metalized PET films offer an optical density range of 1.4 to 3.0 and a metal to film bond at 100 – 150 gm/25mm for the plain side and 130 – 180gm/25mm for the corona side.
Application Uses
The use of Met Pet films is suitable for a number of uses along presentation purposes and industrial application. First and foremost, aesthetics are a large part of what sets this film apart as the Met Pet film has a shiny surface, making it attractive to the naked eye. As a result, many products are wrapped and/or packaged in this type of material.
But this film also comes with a flexibility for customization in that you can alter the material to comply with a set of exacting specifications. This enables the film to provide a material for packaging that brings a durable dependability for safeguarding the products that are stored within. That’s why Met Pet films are among the most trusted and sought after materials for use in multiple packaging applications for the storage, transportation, and sale of food and beverages, personal hygiene, pharmaceuticals, and various other wet and dry goods.
Some of the products that are typically stored within metalized PET packaging include a lengthy list of items that include:
Bird Seed
Cannabis
Candies
Cereals
Coffee
Cookies
Cosmetics
Dried Goods
Flour
Hops
Milk Powder
Protein Powder
Salt
Snacks
Spices
Sugar

SilverDollar Pouch Features
The SilverDollar line of the 2000 Series offers a full array of high quality opaque silver metalized Mylar that not only looks great but works even better at maintaining an effective barrier between your contents within and the impacts of oxygen and moisture.
This Mylar material is bright and shiny and comes with the kind of tensile strength and flexibility that protects the product you have packaged within from external forces that might threaten to compromise the barrier of the film.
All SilverDollar pouches are made of Met Pet film that complies with all Food and Drug Administration standards as well as RoSH criteria. These bags have also been manufactured to be free of BPA’s and each pouch is suitable storage for Kosher foods.
GoldMetal Pouch Features
Much like the SilverDollar line of the 2000 Series, the GoldMetal pouches are also made of metalized Mylar film that has an opaque gold appearance along the exterior and a silver lining on the interior.
Each GoldMetal pouch is bright and shiny with a similar aesthetic as their SilverDollar counterparts and the same reliable, high-quality oxygen and moisture regulation capabilities. These pouches also comply with all Food and Drug Administration standards, RoSH criteria, free of BPA’s and suitable storage for Kosher foods.
In fact, the biggest difference between the two pouches is the metallic coloring along the outside. Both types of bags are ideal for creating an attractive and eye-catching presentation of your product and, while both bags are shiny and flashy, the gold version offers slightly more robust exhibition qualities.
Pouch Size Options
Met Pet pouches are available for purchase in a multitude of preset size options to fit every need and every type of product, big or small, large or little quantities per package or serving.
But for those who require a very specific size pouch made according to a set of dimensions that are unavailable in prefabricated forms, these metalized PET films can be customized into a pouch of virtually any height and width along a full array of possible configurations.
Benefits of Choosing the Metalized 2000 Series
Among the most valuable benefits from using these pouches for the storage of food and medications is their ability to successfully protect the products within from oxidization by oxygen and moisture. That’s because this metalized PET film drastically lowers the permeability of both these types of potentially negative impacts.
This is almost entirely due to the metallic coating layers applied to the film which enhances the strength and stability necessary to safeguard the products you’ve chosen to package inside of it.
But that’s not all, the other many benefits you can enjoy with these pouches include abrasive resistance and tear strength to make these films into the sturdy barriers you expect not just from oxygen and moisture but light and chemicals that can alter the condition of what is being stored inside.
Simply put, if you’re seeking out a pouch that is reliable, flexible, sturdy against all exterior impacts and has the top quality aesthetics to represent your product line in the most positive way, Met Pet films in the 2000 Series of pouches is the answer.
