Aluminized PET Film

Aluminized PET film, also called VMPET, metallized PET or aluminized Mylar, is a PET-based film coated with a thin vacuum-deposited aluminum layer. It combines PET’s strength and dimensional stability with metal-like barrier and gloss, making it ideal for high-barrier laminates such as PET/VMPET/PE.

  • High oxygen and moisture barrier to extend shelf life for snacks, coffee, tea, milk powder and dry foods

  • Excellent light and UV shielding to protect aroma, flavor and light-sensitive ingredients

  • Strong puncture resistance and stiffness for good machinability on high-speed packaging lines

  • Metallic luster and printable surface for premium brand appearance and eye-catching designs

  • Stable dimensional properties for consistent lamination, slitting and pouch making

  • Food-grade and industrial grades available to match different end-use requirements

  • Customizable thickness, width and barrier level (optical density) to fit your structure design

Aluminized PET Film Description

The aluminized PET film results from the vacuum aluminum plating process, in which melted metallic aluminum is evaporated under a high vacuum, and the aluminum atoms are then deposited in the vacuum evaporation chamber on the PET film, forming a composite flexible packaging film with barrier properties.

This aluminized polyester film has both plastic and metal-like characteristics. It is cheap and elegant, with good performance and high practical value.

Metallized PET film or Aluminized PET film can replace aluminum foil and other materials to some extent due to its excellent gas and light barrier, moisture resistance, heat resistance, processing, and decorative properties, as well as its high-speed automated forming, filling, and heat-sealing capabilities and high production efficiency.

Aluminized PET film is ideal for food packaging film and other applications. It is common in food packaging, composite materials, and adhesive labels and is commonly used in dry and lightweight food packaging, such as biscuits and puffs. It is especially appropriate for the luxury packaging of tobacco and alcohol, gift boxes, gold and silver card paper, and packaging materials for milk powder, tea, pharmaceuticals, and laser anti-counterfeiting materials.

The aluminized film used for food packaging is mainly food-grade, certified for the food safety standard, non-toxic, and safe to use. However, industrial applications are the subject of non-food-grade aluminized film use.

In most flexible packaging structures, aluminized PET (VMPET) is used as a high-barrier middle layer in laminates such as PET/VMPET/PE, PET/VMPET/CPP or BOPP/VMPET/PE. These structures are widely used for dry food, milk powder, tea and coffee, pet food, nutritional powders and other products that require extended shelf life and strong light protection.

Aluminized PET Film Applications

  • Food & Dry Goods Packaging
    Aluminized PET film is widely used for snacks, biscuits, confectionery, instant noodles, nuts, coffee, tea and other dry goods that require good aroma and flavor retention. As the barrier layer in structures such as PET/VMPET/PE or PET/VMPET/CPP, it helps block oxygen, moisture and light, keeping products crispy and fresh on the shelf.

  • Pharmaceutical & Healthcare Packaging
    For pharmaceutical and healthcare products that are sensitive to light and moisture—such as tablets, capsules, powders and certain medical devices—aluminized PET films provide reliable protection. Combined with PE, CPP or aluminum foil in multi-layer laminates, they help maintain product stability over the claimed shelf life.

  • Electronics & Industrial Packaging
    In electronics and industrial packaging, aluminized PET film is valued for its electrical shielding and anti-static potential. It is commonly used as an EMI/RFI shielding layer, cable wrapping film or protective layer in flexible circuits, helping to minimize electromagnetic interference and safeguard device performance.

  • Decorative, Labels & Print Media
    Thanks to its bright metallic luster and smooth surface, aluminized PET is ideal for premium labels, gift wrap, decorative laminates, greeting cards and gold/silver card stock. It accepts high-definition printing and can be embossed or holographically patterned to create eye-catching visual effects.

  • Insulation, HVAC & Building Materials
    In building and HVAC applications, aluminized PET film is used as a reflective insulation layer in roof, wall and duct systems. The aluminum-coated surface reflects radiant heat, while the PET base provides mechanical strength, helping to improve overall energy efficiency and indoor comfort.

Typical Laminations with Aluminized PET Film

 

Below are some common laminate structures where aluminized PET is used as the barrier layer. The final design will depend on your product, filling temperature and machine conditions; our team can adjust thickness, adhesive and sealant films to meet your requirements.

  • PET / VMPET / PE – For snacks, biscuits, powdered drinks, dry foods and instant noodles that need strong barrier and good heat-seal strength.
  • PET / VMPET / CPP – For pillow pouches and applications requiring higher seal strength and heat resistance, such as certain hot-fill or paste-like products.
  • BOPP / VMPET / PE or VMPET / PE – Economical solutions for confectionery and everyday dry goods where metallic appearance and barrier performance are both important.

 

Ordering & Customization Checklist

 

To prepare an accurate quotation and technical recommendation, it helps if you can share as much of the following information as possible. If you are not familiar with all the parameters, just fill in what you know and our engineers will guide you.

  • Packed product and target market (snacks, coffee, pet food, pharma, insulation; country/region)
  • Required laminate structure or current structure (e.g. PET/VMPET/PE, with layer thickness if known)

FAQ

What is the difference between aluminized PET film and aluminum foil?

Aluminized PET has a very thin aluminum layer deposited on a PET base, so it is lighter and more flexible than traditional aluminum foil. It offers excellent barrier and metallic appearance, but with better tear and flex-crack resistance, making it suitable for high-speed form-fill-seal flexible packaging. For extremely high barrier or pinhole-free requirements, aluminum foil may still be preferred.

Is aluminized PET film food safe?

CloudFilm can supply food-grade aluminized PET films produced under strict quality systems. These grades are suitable for use as outer or middle layers in food packaging laminates. Please tell us your target market (such as the EU, USA or other regions) so we can confirm regulatory compliance and provide supporting documents if needed.

What thickness of aluminized PET should I choose?

Common packaging thicknesses are 12–23 μm for snacks, coffee and dry foods, and higher gauges up to around 36 μm or more for heavy or sharp products. The optimal thickness depends on your laminate structure, pouch size and drop-test requirements; our engineers can recommend a specification after understanding your application.

Can aluminized PET film be used for retort packaging?

Standard aluminized PET is suitable for many hot-fill and high-temperature sealing processes, but full retort (for example 121 °C for 30 minutes) usually requires specialized structures using retort-grade CPP, nylon or aluminum foil. If you need retort or sterilization, please share your temperature and time profile so we can design an appropriate laminate.

Do you provide both jumbo rolls and slit rolls?

Yes. We can supply jumbo rolls for local slitting and converting, as well as slit-to-width rolls ready for your packaging line, depending on your slitting capability and logistics preference.

What is the typical MOQ and lead time for aluminized PET film?

For aluminized PET film, the standard minimum order quantity is around 1,000 kg per thickness and specification. Typical lead time is about 2–4 weeks after order confirmation, depending on your specification and order volume. For urgent projects or trial orders, please contact us to discuss flexible arrangements.

Is aluminized PET film recyclable?

Because of the thin metal layer, conventional recycling systems often do not treat aluminized PET in the same way as clear PET bottles. In many markets it is currently handled as mixed flexible packaging. If you are developing recyclable or mono-material packaging, we can also propose alternative high-barrier solutions such as transparent ALOx PET or mono-PE/PP structures.
