Metallized High Barrier Paper Food Packaging

A barrier-type paper with a non-barrier paper uses suitable laminating adhesives to form a food packaging material. More specifically, a preferred embodiment of the invention is directed to a metallized or aluminum oxide coated paper sheet laminated to a bleached paper sheet while avoiding optics of a shiny metal material being present by at least one of employing a non-shiny metal for the metallized layer, coating or printing one or more layers upon the metallized layer, and sandwiching the metallized layer in a laminate structure such that the metallized layer is configured to be visually hidden so as to not be optically detectable in a paper recycle line.
