Overall use of flexible packaging is trending upwards. Flexibles are more environmentally friendly and can make use of the latest ebeam technology.
Read MoreEbeam EB Flexo inks and coatings are the best option for food flexible packaging. Growing concerns about the safety of other inks previously used in food packaging has led industry leaders to turn to EB as the reliable and 100% safe choice for their packaging. EB inks and coatings guarantee food safety due to no photoinitiators and no odor.
Read MoreModernization of existing technology is something that happens on a regular basis. We build upon existing infrastructure to enhance, improve, and make whatever it is more reliable. This same concept applies to the world of printing. Retrofitting an existing press with electron beam technology is an upgrade that modernizes your company to compete in the 21st century.
Read MoreWhen one considers the adoption of energy based curing technology, it's easy to deduce energy will be expended in the curing process. What's more crucial to consider, however, is how that plays against energy savings.
Both Electron Beam and UV technologies are effective at reducing costs—including those associated with operational inefficiencies such as high energy costs. And in recent years, ebeam technology has seen rapid adoption in food flexible packaging.
Read MoreThe Comexi OFFSET CI-8 is a variable format press with a central impression drum, specifically designed for printing on extensible materials. It’s a ground-breaking solution that responds to the challenges of the flexible packaging printing sector: reducing environmental impact, increasing energy efficiency, producing high quality print and speed to market.
Read MoreThe world we live in increasingly favors digital over physical; movies are streamed instead of rented, the internet has replaced newspapers as the main source of news, and shopping can be done in the comfort of your home. Within the world of marketing, targeting customers online has become the norm. You may be surprised to learn that print marketing still has a place at the table and is one of the most effective ways to reach customers.
Read MoreThere is no doubt that the world of printing has become increasingly competitive. Every printer is looking for new ways to reduce costs, increase profit margins and differentiate themselves from the pack. Incorporating Electron Beam technology into your process can be just the way to achieve these goals.
Read MoreEB and UV curing equipment are both much more compact than your conventional drying ovens, making EB and UV equipment size a tangible benefit when looking to decrease your operational costs. Not only that, but the solvent free compositions also require less storage space than solventbased coatings, making your footprint compact, reducing the amount of commercial real estate required and ultimately, reducing your operational costs.
Read MoreIt’s no secret that EB and UV technologies have solidified their standing within the packaging industry because of the inherent advantages over solvent and waterbased technologies. The rapid growth in energybased curing applications is a result of its ability to reduce waste and environmental hazards. While EB technology has seen swift growth into one of the leading choices of the flexible packaging industry, like any other industrial technology, safe use requires an understanding of the potential hazards, knowledge of safe handling procedures and industrial best hygiene practices.
Read MoreThanks to their technological advancements and being more environmentally friendly, both electron beam and ultraviolet curing processes are quickly becoming two of the packaging industry’s most popular solutions for laminating adhesives, coatings, and inks.
