TOPPAN USA's Georgia Plant officially opened on
April 8, 2016. The growing demand of the flexible
packaging market in North America signaled
Toppan Printing to invest in its first transparent
barrier film production site outside of Japan
becoming the premier transparent film supplier
(GL FILM) in the US.
The Plant is able to respond quickly to the needs of
the North American customer base by offering
shorter lead times, local product development and
technical assistance and an unmatched level of
quality to the market.

These results are examples based on results obtained using general lamination structures. They are not guaranteed values.
GL FILM consists of a base layer (PET, OPA, etc.), an inorganic vapor deposition layer (alumina, silica, etc.), and barrier coat layers. The multi-layer structure combining a proprietary coat layer and high quality vapor deposition layer facilitates lamination and ensures stable barrier performance.
Excellent Barrier Performance• Protects content from absorbing moisture, drying out, or
spoiling
• Aroma retention prevents odor transfer and preserves commercial value for long periods
• Temperature and humidity have almost no effect, allowing usage in almost any environment
High Transparency and Non-Metallic• The seal section is visible during �lling
• Metal detector, microwave oven, and IC tags can be used
• Transparency can be utilized to enhance product appeal
• Highly �ex resistance
Environment Friendly• No chlorine gas produced when incinerated
• Almost no residue when incinerated
• Aluminum-free composition reduces total waste generation
Versatile Lineup• Lineup includes aluminum foil replacement grade type
• OPA type boasts highest oxygen barrier performance of OPA based products and also excels in aroma retention and �exibility
