This foil structure cellulose/Metallized Paper/PLA+PBAT film foil laminate is one of the mature foil materials for compostable packages.
Foil Structure
Below graphic shows the formulation of this foil, whith cellulose film working as outer print substrate, metallized paper working as middle barrier layr, and PLA+PBAT film working as the inner sealing film.
To print on cellulose film is much alike print on clear PET film, which can carry the artwork information on the inner side, and with a top lacquer coating on the outside, shown as below.
