Some manufacturers are choosing polymer-metal composites that provide the equivalent weight of metal, but also allow for the design freedom provided by thermoplastics.

A full range of colorant types are available, from transparent to heavy-metal-free opaque, and can include a range of performance additives to enhance the formulation even further. Full range of opaque and transparent colorants, including special effect colorants such as fluorescent, metallic and phosphorescent

Article Metal Replacement Why consider plastics in lieu of metal?

And unlike silicone and other denesting agents, Cesa Denesting additives don’t require extra steps in the manufacturing process, maintain the transparency of the sheet, and allow for metallization and printing of the packaging. Enables metallization and printability of the packaging

Long carbon and glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics are structural injection molding composites with metal replacement performance. Long fiber thermoplastics (LFTs) are fiber-reinforced composites used to replace metals or other under-performing thermoplastic solutions that don't stand up to the needs of demanding structural applications.
