Meet ALOxPET: A more sustainable alternative with high-barrier protection
At PouchDirect, we understand the importance of sustainability and reducing the environmental footprint of our packaging. That’s why we are choosing ALOxPET as a sustainable alternative to MET PET - without compromising on the high level of protection our packaging provides.
ALOxPET is a transparent film used as a protective inner layer in our 3-layer stand-up pouches, including our kraft paper variants. Instead of traditional metallised film (MET PET), we now use ALOxPET, which offers the exact same protection against moisture, oxygen, and light, but with a significantly lower environmental impact.


ALOxPET – Why it's the better choice:
- No metal coating: ALOxPET does not have a metal layer, making it less harmful to the environment while still providing an excellent barrier for your products.
- Premium protection: ALOxPET offers the same protection against moisture (WVTR) and oxygen (OTR) as MET PET, ensuring your products remain optimally protected.
- A step towards sustainability: By switching to ALOxPET, PouchDirect demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices. We also aim to use recycled ALOxPET in the future to reduce our environmental footprint even further.
Our brown kraft paper stand-up pouches with ALOxPET lining:
- Product upgrades: The transition to ALOxPET begins with our brown kraft paper stand-up pouches, including our coffee pouches. Other metallised paper pouches will gradually transition to ALOxPET as well. We already offer a wide range of aluminium-free stand-up pouches directly from stock.
- A powerful combination: These stand-up pouches combine the natural, organic look of kraft paper with the high-performance protection of ALOxPET, providing a sustainable and reliable packaging solution.
- High-level protection: The ALOxPET inner lining ensures that your products remain securely packaged and perfectly protected against external influences.
Much more than just ALOxPET: our wide range of stand-up pouches
At PouchDirect, we are committed to providing sustainable, high-quality packaging solutions. The introduction of ALOxPET as an alternative to MET PET is a key part of this mission. With ALOxPET, you can choose packaging that protects your product while actively contributing to a more sustainable future.
