This new color and special effects option helps polymer packaging do just that. Creating the high gloss, metallic effect involves varying the amount of colorant and the thickness of packaging walls, enabling infinite options to be created for a variety of fantastic packaging looks. Our testing has shown that packaging manufactured with Impress does not have flow lines.

OnColor™ IR Sortable Black Infrared Sortable Black for Recyclable Packaging OnColor™ Infrared Sortable Black for Recyclable Packaging is a black colorant created without the addition of carbon black pigment. Detection and sorting of black products in material recovery facilities is a known issue which affects the packaging and recycling industries. In the presence of carbon black, currently used to color most black packaging, all the wavelengths are absorbed and black polymers can’t be identified, inevitably keeping black packaging out of recycling streams at considerable cost to our environment.

Bottles made of PET or rPET can be recycled into new bottles or packaging. This makes the material ideal for food and beverage packaging because the ingredients held within the bottle or package are preserved and protected. It also has a lower carbon footprint than alternative packaging materials.

Both paperboard and multilayer polymers restrict design freedom, so the final packaging is often less than ergonomic. To increase the user-friendly aspects of UHT dairy packaging, ColorMatrix Lactra LX Light Blocking Additive expands design freedom by allowing designers to use a single PET layer bottle to create the same visible light blocking as paperboard and multilayer HDPE and PET packaging. MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Dairy packaging, including UHT liquid dairy products

OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants Near Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging OnColor™ NIR Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for recyclable packaging promotes correct sorting and recycling of dark polymers. THE LURE & COMPLEXITY OF DARK PACKAGING SHADES Dark packaging has always been a popular choice by brand owners and is therefore widely used across different applications and packaging types.
