Goldstone Packaging has developed a wide range of pre-cut lids or die-cut lids. We can offer Aluminum lids and PET die-cut lids. We have a broad portfolio of lidding products that will seal to nearly every base substrate.
Aluminium lids can provide the important advantage of providing a total barrier against water vapour and oxygen transmission, as well as light and aroma. This makes it an ideal choice for sensitive and extended shelf life products. Another benefit of aluminium cut lids over PET is that they seal within a broad temperature range and do not require as precise temperature control of the heat-seal heads.
We have a number of embossing cylinders to make your product stand out from the crowd. These include the straight forward pin-dot format through to a highly patterned grub embossing effect.
PET lids are a popular alternative to aluminium lids. The print quality achievable is higher because the plastic surface is white allowing improved graphic quality and colour definition. When transparent or clear PET with a heat-seal lacquer is used, the consumer can easily visualize the packaged product making it a highly versatile material.
PET lids are less costly to transport, they travel better and do not tear when peeled. Their high puncture resistance reduces the risk of leakers and product return.
Both aluminum lids and PET lids are available in a range of diameter sizes with pull tabs – from 25mm to 150mm, and other sizes and shapes on request.
