Utilizing vacuum aluminizing and laser-writing technologies, Shunho Creative (a sub-brand of Shanghai Shunho International) has developed a plastic-free material with a metallic finish, designed as a ‘sustainable alternative’ to traditional plastic-laminated boards. The company tells us more in this edition of the Spotlight.
The challenge of modern packaging
In an era where global regulations like the EU’s PPWR are tightening and consumers are demanding plastic-free alternatives, the packaging industry faces a critical paradox: must vibrant metallic brilliance come at the expense of recyclability? Beyond circularity, reducing Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) and meeting stringent ESG targets are no longer optional - they are now the definitive benchmarks for global market entry.
Leading the plastic-free revolution
Shanghai Shunho International, a global leader in vacuum transfer metallized paper, has found the answer. By leveraging advanced vacuum aluminizing and laser-writing technologies, Shunho offers TransMet® - a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic-laminated boards. Unlike conventional materials reliant on non-biodegradable films, TransMet® achieves a stunning metallic finish while remaining 100% plastic-free.
A commitment to circularity & 5R principles
TransMet® aligns seamlessly with the 5R Sustainability Principles: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover, and Resource. Beyond its recyclability, it meets rigorous standards for home compostability, providing a holistic end-of-life solution. As a key architect of the circular economy, Shunho leverages its immense supply chain resilience in China to ensure global stability. With an annual capacity of 200,000 tonnes and a vertically integrated ecosystem, we guarantee superior lead times and robust supply to meet the world’s most demanding packaging needs.
A global benchmark for quality
From personal care and pharmaceuticals to highly regulated sectors such as food, beverage, and tobacco, Shunho is a trusted strategic partner. Our role as a global supplier to multiple Fortune 500 giants underscores our commitment to uncompromising quality and compliance.
Furthermore, as the authorized distributor for a world-renowned Swedish premium paperboard manufacturer, Shunho effectively synergizes Eastern manufacturing prowess with Western material standards.
As the primary international gateway for the Shunho Group (SZSE: 002565), Shunho International exports eco-friendly innovations to over 50 countries. “We have proved that high-performance packaging and environmental stewardship can coexist seamlessly,” says the Shunho team.
