In addition to that, the LamiBak\u2122 range is also suitable for compostability depending on regional standard. It\u2019s PFAS-free, and features a natural grease barrier. Additionally, it reduces material use by minimizing the need for excessive primer and barrier coatings. \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWith LamiBak\u2122 Flex, we address the critical challenge of delivering high-barrier paper for flexible packaging while supporting sustainability<\/a> goals,\u201d says Guillaume Latourette, Vice President of Ahlstrom\u2019s Global Food Packaging business. \u201cThis innovation represents the future of functionalized base paper for converters and brands alike.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n For more information on Ahlstrom\u2019s LamiBak\u2122 Flex and its applications in flexible packaging materials, visit https:\/\/www.ahlstrom.com\/products\/lamibak-base-paper\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
