Growing demand for polymer coated cutsize wrapping material in China and the Asia-Pacific area has prompted the Walki Group to invest in a 1.6m wide high-tech glue laminator for its plant in Changshu.
Part of an ongoing investment programme in the factory, the new machine produces mainly BOPP laminates for A3/A4 size wrappings, but it can also be used for barrier board and aluminium laminates, and for other lamination combinations.
Timo Saahko, Managing Director of Walki Packaging Paper (Changshu), comments: “One of the main advantages with the technology we have chosen is that the printing is actually made on the backside of the BOPP film, which is then glued on the wrapping paper with the new laminator. As the film is very smooth and dense, and has an excellent printability and transparency, the result is a very glossy and good looking wrapping, where both the packaging and the printing is protected by the polymer film.”
