Company Description

We develop, design, manufacture and sell value-added paper and paperboard products for consumer goods packaging that are plastic free and 100% recyclable. Using our proprietary processing technology, we metalize paper without any lamination or film resulting in a custom product with a reflective metallic look or holographic eye-catching design. We believe that our UniLustre® metallizing product line is the only technology currently available to decorate paperboard without the need for an additional plastic substrate and is certified by Western Michigan University as recyclable in United States and by TU Darmstadt University as recyclable in Europe and Latin America. This environmentally friendly process, as compared to traditional decorating methods such as laminating, hot stamping or cold foiling, permits customers and end-users to recycle our paperboard with normal paper waste. We believe we are uniquely positioned with our manufacturing facilities in New Jersey, which serves our markets in the United States, Mexico and Canada, and Poland, which covers the European packaging market, to capitalize on the need for environmentally compliant decorated packaging in consumer product markets. Our products can be utilized to produce a wide variety of packaging that is primarily used for toothpaste, beverage, cosmetic, blister and personal care packaging and extensively in gaming markets for playing cards and lottery tickets. We have provided end-user brand support, through our design and packaging, to leading consumer brands such as Anheuser-Busch, Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, Unilever, Church and Dwight, GSK plc, Revlon, Scientific Games, British American Tobacco, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco and other Fortune 500 companies. For the past three years, our UniLustre production has grown year-over-year, excluding production from our Poland facility, and we have been profitable. We have been in the printing and packaging business for more than 50 years. Traditionally, decorated products have been laminates of either film and/or paperboard. The film carries the decoration, and the substrate provides the structure to these decorated products. This gives the final package the visual impact we see in today’s marketplace and creates product differentiation. Laminates of this sort are not recyclable, however, which has become a major issue both domestically and abroad. To address that problem, we developed and branded a process that allows our products to not only be 100% recyclable but also improves the visual clarity compared to traditional laminates. We call these products UniLustre® and Holographic UniLustre®. UniLustre products are manufactured with our proprietary technology that renders the final product “film free” and 100% recyclable. This decoration is not only plastic free but uses no chemicals because we only process with water-based additives. We use a vapor deposition of aluminum to achieve the reflection that is seen on our products. Most consumer product companies have committed to converting to recyclable packaging over time, and we believe UniLustre is a compelling option for these companies. Our products are available in virtually any color and any finish and can be manufactured on substrates ranging from 25 lb. paper/3 mil plastic to 38-point paperboard. We can apply our products to paper, board, plastics or film and can pressure sensitize any product we make. Our customers can select from precision-slit rolls, optically registered sheets or pressure sensitive formats with our branding packages. Our large format capabilities produce rolls of paper up to 72 inches in diameter and 72 inches in width. For these large rolls of paper, we either split the large rolls into narrower rolls or cut the large rolls into sheets for shipment to the customer. Generally, we sell our products to printers and folding carton producers who print our paperboard and form the printed paperboard into folding cartons that will get filled with the product for sale to the consumer. For example, we produce the paperboard that is used for manufacturing the Colgate-Palmolive and Procter & Gamble toothpaste packages. We are dedicated to minimizing environmental impact, not only during our production, but also throughout our customers’ production, usage and manufacturing cycles as the world continues to respond to sustainability initiatives. We have a history of being environmentally conscious. Our metallized substrates are certified by all the chain of custody agencies, including the Forest Stewardship Council, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, and the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification. Our UniLustre substrates have been certified by Western Michigan University, which is the industry accepted standard accreditation for recyclable products. Both of our manufacturing facilities are certified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Since we developed UniLustre in 1995, it has provided the marketplace with an alternative to film and foil laminations and is also 100% recyclable. As end-users have become more environmentally conscious and focused on environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives over the years, UniLustre has become more popular. We have since scaled production so that UniLustre maintains its same standard of sustainability while also maintaining approximately the same cost as many other currently existing packaging materials. Currently, 63.12% of our business is generated by our sales of UniLustre. Sustainability and ESG, especially in Europe, are in high demand, and we responded to the market by acquiring a printing facility in Poland in July 2021 to satisfy the demand in Europe for sustainable alternatives to film and foil laminations. We incorporated our wholly-owned subsidiary, Unifoil E.U., LLC, in June 2021 to acquire the Poland facility. We strive to give our customers, which are primarily packaging and printing companies, and in turn, the end-user retailers, the highest levels of customer service by providing high quality products in a timely and cost-effective manner. We operate our business strategically and with broad flexibility to provide both our large and small customers with a wide spectrum of products that they need to successfully run and grow their businesses. We develop custom formulations and respond to market needs with innovative and environmentally friendly solutions. We work side by side with our customers and frequently, the end-users, to respond to their unique needs and specifications and also help to simulate conditions to predict how our products will perform under real-world manufacturing conditions. It is our intention to provide our customers with packaging that sets them apart from their competition, and, to that end, we collaborate with each of our customers to develop the best options and solutions that are at our disposal without impacting the product differentiation desired for marketing. We believe that our more than 50 years of expertise in commercial printing services, applying highly aesthetic, specialty finishes on paper and plastic substrates, enables us to transform ordinary printing and packaging into an attractive visual experience, making our customers’ products to stand out and show at their best. --- We were founded in 1971 in New Jersey by acquiring our lamination business from Anaconda Aluminum Company based in Louisville, Kentucky. We incorporated in New Jersey on March 28, 1980, under the name George J. Barenholtz Associates, Inc. We changed our name to GJB Associates, Inc. on August 5, 1980, and, again, to Unifoil Holdings, Inc. in December 2000. Effective October 6, 2023, we reincorporated from the State of New Jersey to the State of Nevada (the “Reincorporation”). The Reincorporation was achieved through a merger of the Company with and into a newly formed entity, Unifoil Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Our principal executive office is located at 12 Daniel Road East, Fairfield, New Jersey, 07004. Our phone numbers are (973) 244-9900 and (800) 596-5600. Our European headquarters is located at Mialki Szlak 52 Hala D 80-717, Gdansk, Poland. Our phone number in Poland is (0048) 58-683-60-30. Our corporate website is located at www.unifoil.com.
