Film Production

• Prefilm
• 100 250 µm, depending on stretching ratio and
  Sleeve thickness
• PVC - calandered
• PET/OPS - extruded
• 2. Off-line TDO Stretching
• 40 60 µm, depending on neededstiffness.
  Within kp up to 4.2 mprior to slitting
• 3. Slitting according to customer needs

Printing

• Common printing methods
• Gravure ( gt 300.000 pieces )
• Flexo ( 15.000 300.000 pieces)
• Offset ( 30.000 1 Mio. pieces )
• Digital ( smaller volumes )
• Reverse printing
• ? Sleeve transparent, printed side is protected
• No corona treatment necessary for PVC PET
  sleeve film
• (probable exception UV-Flexo printing)
• Special shrinkable inks needed
• Distortion of printing design, pre-press art work

How to apply Sleeves

• Manual and also automated applications are
  possible. The fully automatic applications work
  on an endless tubing method, while manual
  converting requires a single segment of tubing
  for each bottle .
• Cutting system depending on line speed, low speed
  (lt250 per min) by guillotine knife, high speed by
  blades on rotary axes

14
How to shrink Sleeves

• Shrinkage by either
• infra-red radiation, bad temp. profile, flat
  shrink curve necessary
• hot air tunnel, more homogenous
• steam tunnel, best shrink result

Heat
