"GREEN FLEX-PACK CONVERTING FOR THE GREEN
USER"
OVERVIEW
The environmental focus on technological
side (including equipment) of the coating and
laminating process will be presented including
the latest innovations - critical points of the
processes to be discussed including modern
laminate structures in view if web substrates,
adhesive applications, equipment and controls.
These will be integrated with key flexible
packaging applications and critical features of
the modern equipment in sight of the best
product performance. Also to be discussed;
sustainability aspects of modern plastic film
converting.
The process features will
include web tension, web guidance, unwinds/
rewinds, surface treatment, coating, lamination
and drying. All critical parts of process and
converting equipment will be treated. A special
plus will be the inclusion of
modern trends in flexible packaging and their
environmental impact. A "must" for all
personnel currently working in the film, paper
and foil converting - whether novice or highly
experienced.
