The unique scalloped-edge pouches are constructed of a reverse gravure-printed polyethylene outer layer laminated to aluminum foil along with a polyester inner layer. Incorporating precise registration techniques, CLP used spot-varnish technology to add extra luster to the tree ornaments and fruits on the tree graphics.
