1. How to select the applicator gravure roller for water-based adhesive lamination? Zhu Jianliang of Dow: The cells of the applicator roller should be shallow with a large opening, so that the wet adhesive contacts the substrate over the largest possible surface; this helps achieve uniform coating, improves drying efficiency, and gives the best peel strength and the most transparent appearance. It is recommended to use an applicator roller with 180~200 lines, 32u-35U depth, hexagonal cell walls, channels between cells, and U-shaped cell bottoms. 2. How to clean what remains on equipment

The most common problem we encounter during printing is bars. Many masters are at a loss, which requires us to think calmly and try to take fewer detours. How do we judge these bars? Let me explain in detail. Generally, bars are classified into ink bars, water bars, cylinder bars, gear bars, etc. 1 Excessive backlash of the cylinder meshing gears The cylinder gears of offset presses basically adopt helical gear meshing, with a large gear transmission exchange coefficient and a small meshing backlash space, so as to

To respond directly to shifting consumer trends, Mondi will showcase its latest range of products at Interpack 2017. The products on display will highlight ease of use and sustainability. For example, at one corner of the cornerpack pouch, Mondi has added a semicircular tear line, making it easier for consumers to tear open the packaging and pour out the contents. At the same time, to help consumers enjoy the taste and aroma of products for longer,

A flexible packaging plant: We are printing a large-area spot color on a surface-printed product and keep getting small tailing streaks, at both high and low viscosity. After scratching with a chopstick, they reappear after a while. Is it due to slow machine speed, coarse ink particles, or other reasons? Pearlized OPP, surface printing ink. Shenzhen – Packaging Bags: Try filtering the ink. Yinteng Packaging Yu Dingzhao: The ink probably has impurities. Try filtering it. Shangyang Packaging - Qi: Try adding a little water to the ink. Yinteng Packaging Yu Dingzhao: Adding water is

Although in theory solvent-free lamination can produce any product structure that dry lamination can, in practical applications many structures that are dry laminated smoothly show abnormalities when they are solvent-free laminated, especially high-temperature (above 121℃) retort products. For example, structures laminated with aluminum foil and high-temperature retort products with three or more layers often encounter various problems. Among the high-temperature retort product structures commonly found on the market today, such as BOPET//RCPP

Translated by Deng Wentao, Packaging Frontier Barton Group has expanded the application range of its patented dispensing pouch technology, SqueezyStraw. Headquartered in New York, the company partnered with Multivac to launch the stand-up pouch, initially trialed in an 8-ounce clear milk package.

Generally, the friction coefficient μs of the treated surface of BOPA film is between 0. 4~0. 7. The friction coefficient of BOPA film is divided into kinetic friction coefficient and static friction coefficient. In the production process of BOPA film, the friction coefficient of plastic film is an important technical indicator. On the one hand, together with the anti-blocking performance of the film, it serves as a quantitative evaluation index of the openness of plastic film; on the other hand, it can also serve as reference data for the running speed of automatic packaging machines, tension adjustment, and during film running
