Metallic heat transfer film is a specialized material used to create shiny, reflective designs on various surfaces, particularly PP plastic fruit boxes. This metallic film combines aesthetic appeal with durability, offering a vibrant, mirror-like finish that enhances product visibility. The heat transfer film shinny effect is achieved through a thin metallic layer, which is transferred onto the substrate using heat and pressure.
Ideal for packaging, this heat transfer film ensures high adhesion to PP plastic, making it perfect for fruit box printing. The metallic film resists fading, scratches, and moisture, maintaining its glossy appearance even in demanding environments. Its flexibility allows for intricate designs, logos, and text, adding a premium look to packaging.
The process involves printing the desired pattern on the film, then applying it to the PP plastic surface through heat pressing.The result is a durable, eye-catching finish that improves brand recognition. With excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance, metallic heat transfer film is a cost-effective solution for high-quality, long-lasting prints on plastic containers.

2. Printing (Gravure/Flexographic Printing)
* The engraved cylinder transfers the design onto a PET/OPP film using solvent-based or UV-curable inks. Special release inks are applied to facilitate later heat transfer.
3. Vacuum Metallization (Aluminum Coating)
* The printed film passes through a vacuum chamber, where aluminum is vaporized and deposited onto the surface, creating the shiny metallic film effect.
4. Drying & Curing
* The metallized film is dried in an oven to remove solvents and enhance adhesion. Proper curing ensures scratch and fade resistance.
5. Die-Cutting (Punching or Slitting)
* The film is cut into sheets or rolls using precision die-cutting machines, making it ready for application on PP plastic fruit boxes or other substrates.
6. Quality Inspection (QC Testing)
* Each batch is checked for defects (e.g., uneven coating, scratches, misprints) to ensure durability, adhesion, and visual perfection.
7. Packing & Shipping
* The approved heat transfer film shinny rolls/sheets are packed in protective materials and prepared for delivery.
This process ensures a high-quality metallic film with excellent reflectivity and adhesion, ideal for premium packaging solutions.
