Finishing

Finishing encompasses all the value-added processes required to convert wide webs of printed packaging film into the custom roll stock, premade pouches, etc. that arrive at your facility or your copacker’s facility. We take great care during this step to ensure that each product we ship is of the highest quality, so it will run seamlessly on your equipment.

The processes during the finishing stage vary by product:

  • Premade pouches: This stage includes slitting, pouch converting.
  • Rollstock : During this stage, we’ll slit master rolls of printed flexible packaging into the final, smaller rolls, integrating any functional elements.

Slitting

This process involves taking master rolls (which can be up to 60 inches wide) and slitting them into several smaller finished rolls. The width, diameter, and rewind direction of these finished rolls will precisely match the specifications of the packaging equipment on which it will be run.

There’s no room for error during this process. Precise, accurate slitting is absolutely vital to the finished quality of your packaging. We use state-of-the-art slitters and experienced operators to ensure the finished slit rolls meet your specifications exactly.

In-house pouch converting

We have the in-house capabilities to convert roll stock into any variety of premade pouch formats with many different closure options (spouts, press-to-close zippers, sliders, etc.) and many value-added features (handles, valves, clear windows, etc.).

We bring six decades of experience to each step in our process

Every step in the flexible packaging process builds off the last. Printed graphics can only be as vivid and clear as planned for during prepress and plate making. It’s impossible to slit precisely if the printed graphics are out of tolerance. And packaging orders will only be as consistent as the quality systems used to check them.

It’s paramount that quality and repeatability are designed into each step of the converting process.

Examples of the extra measures we take to ensure quality are

  • Significant investments in cutting-edge vision systems on all printing presses
  • Integrated density spectrophotometers
  • Product traceability (DSC)
  • AVT Solid Proof software
