Lid Foil Coatings for Packaging Applications

Lid foil coatings are specialty coatings designed for aluminum and laminated foils used in lidding applications. These coatings enable strong, hygienic seals and enhance the printability, barrier performance, and heat resistance of the lid foil—essential in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical packaging.

Key Benefits

• Excellent Heat-Seal Performance
Provides consistent seal strength over a wide temperature range.
