The barrier coating layer and inorganic vapor-deposited layer achieve both stable barrier performance and outstanding eco-friendliness.
GL BARRIER consists of a substrate film (PET, PP, PE, or nylon) laminated with a barrier coating layer and an inorganic vapor-deposited barrier layer (alumina or silica).
Due to this outstanding layer structure combining an original coating layer with a high-grade vapor-deposited layer, the film displays stable barrier properties and is easy to use in post-production processes such as printing and laminating.

GL BARRIER Applications
Flexible Packaging / Retortable Packaging
The outstanding barrier performance prevents the quality of the contents from deteriorating (due to oxidation, drying, etc.), thereby helping to maintain product value over the long term.
Electronics Packaging
Making the packaging transparent enables people to visually confirm what is inside.
The barrier performance matches that of an aluminum-foil structure to reliably protect the contents.
Packaging for Medical & Pharma Goods
Making the packaging transparent helps to prevent misuse, and the outstanding barrier performance prevents the contents from hardening or deteriorating.
Toiletries
Our film prevents aromas from escaping. It is exceptionally easy to process and is even suitable for forming into spout or tube shapes.
Composite Paper Containers for Liquids (EP-PAK, Cartocan, etc.)
By combining GL BARRIER with paper, our environmentally friendly paper packaging enables the long-term storage of liquid contents.
Chilled or Frozen Food Packaging
The excellent barrier performance prevents the deterioration of the contents (due to oxidation, drying, etc.).

GL BARRIER Performance
Mono-material Packaging Materials
Mono-material packaging consists of a single material, making it more suitable for recycling than packaging made of composite materials.
Mechanically Recycled PET Grade
The base material contains mechanically recycled PET from the plastic bottles. It promotes the use of recycled resources. The film has high barrier properties by using GL BARRIER technologies.
Production Site
GL BARRIER production system (BCP)
We have established a production system for barrier films at three facilities, in Japan and the U.S.A., enabling and securing the prompt and stable supply of high-quality products on a global scale.
Customer Support
With offices in Japan, the U.S., and Europe, we are able to monitor and react to local demands whilst providing excellent customer support.
