Mastering the Craft of Printing on Flexible Films with AMI
What is Flexible Film?
Flexible film stands in contrast to traditional rigid materials, offering a more adaptable, lightweight, and portable solution. Departing from the conventional, flexible packaging provides businesses with cost-effective options and customizable solutions. This approach has gained popularity in the packaging market, driven by its high efficiency and versatile nature.
Industries Embracing Flexible Films
Industries such as food packaging, medical, pharmaceutical, industrial packaging and others across the globe have been incorporating flexible packaging into their workflows. The adaptability of this packaging medium is not a trend; it represents a strategic decision for those aiming to enhance efficiency and embrace cost-effective solutions in their packaging processes.
Flexible Film Packaging Equipment:
Rollstock, Horizontal and Vertical Form Fill and Seal, Premade Bag Filling and Sealing with Flexible Film
Some of the technology that makes it all possible is rollstock, rollstock thermoforming equipment, form fill and seal equipment (FFS), premade bag filling and sealing equipment, horizontal & vertical band sealers, flow wrappers, over wrappers, shrink wrappers, and heat tunnels.
Rollstock, a film wound on a roll made from various packaging materials, is a pivotal component used in conjunction with the majority of the above machinery including Form, Fill, and Seal (FFS). This machinery not only forms the package but also efficiently fills it with the desired product before sealing the bag or pouch. Various configurations exist, including Horizontal Form-Fill-Seal (HFFS) & Vertical Form-Fill-Seal (VFFS), making it convenient for integration and filling in the orientation that suits your packaging operation. AMI has inline printers that are ideal for integration with this type of packaging equipment and can even help guide and provide you with a turnkey solution.
Materials Used in Flexible Films
Flexible films are crafted from a variety of materials, each offering unique properties to meet specific packaging needs. Materials like Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Vinyl, Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), paper, Tyvek, and more provide a wide range of options tailored to specific requirements.
Printing on these diverse surfaces requires precision and expertise.
