Cutting Die Technology for Ultra-Thin Liners

摘要

Spurred by the potential for less waste and increased productivity, the label and packaging industry is moving to implement ultra-thin facestocks and liners. Converters are pursuing the multiple promises of significant waste reduction, better resistance to moisture and humidity for food and beverage applications, and material recyclability. At the same time, brand owners are looking to the combination of new 23 micron/0.00092" PET liners with thinner film face materials for label-application technology that enables product differentiation and an enhanced clear film, no-label, or opaque conformable look for high-volume applications.
