The OneBARRIER solution by BOBST is an innovative approach to creating recycle-ready high barrier packaging. It addresses the need for sustainable packaging by developing mono-material structures that provide excellent barrier properties. Integrating advanced coating and vacuum metallizing technologies, this solution offers converters an efficient and reliable way to produce high-quality, eco-friendly packaging.
The system includes the EXPERT K5 vacuum metallizer and OneBARRIER coating lines, suitable for various industries including food, personal care, and healthcare. This approach presents alternatives to multi-material non-recyclable packaging and is ideal for flexible packaging applications in these sectors.
The equipment supports the production of recyclable packaging materials by applying functional ultra thin layers to substrates, thus enabling high-barrier properties and improved sustainability. The processes involved focus on wet coating and dry metallizing rather than the traditional non recyclable multi-material structures or the use of much thicker functional coating layers.
