When it comes to packaging, most people notice the final look—bright labels, protective layers, or the strength of a bag. What often goes unseen is the material that quietly makes all of this possible: CLAF® mesh.
For decades, CLAF has been the reinforcement behind packaging solutions that require durability, breathability, and processability. At Pack Expo International 2025, we’re showcasing why CLAF continues to be one of the most trusted materials in the packaging industry.
Strength You Don’t See, But Always Rely On
CLAF® is a high-strength, open mesh nonwoven engineered to provide dimensional stability and tear resistance. It’s the reinforcement layer that holds packaging together—whether in laminates for pouches, produce bags, or industrial wraps—without adding unnecessary weight.
Designed for Processability
One of the biggest advantages of CLAF is how easily it integrates with other materials. Its structure is compatible with extrusion coating, lamination, and heat sealing, allowing converters to run it efficiently on their lines. The result? Stronger, more reliable packaging without costly production hurdles.
Breathability Where It Matters
In fresh produce packaging, breathability is the difference between a short shelf life and a satisfied customer. CLAF® delivers excellent air and moisture permeability, helping keep food fresher for longer while maintaining packaging strength.
A Material With Versatility Built In
From flexible packaging and foil laminates to industrial wraps and specialty bags, CLAF® adapts to countless applications. It’s not just a packaging material—it’s a problem solver that provides reinforcement exactly where it’s needed.
The Backbone of Innovation
At Pack Expo 2025, we’re proud to highlight CLAF® as the hidden backbone of packaging. It’s the layer that most people don’t see—but the industry has relied on for decades to bring stronger, smarter packaging to market.
