Can Lid Peelable Membrane CASE STUDY: CAN LID PEELABLE MEMBRANE CHALLENGE Cut peelable membrane with a folded tab and seal it to a metal ring that can be sealed to paper tube style containers used for peanut packaging. This lid was designed to replace all metal lids that could be torn open leaving a ragged edge possibly endangering consumers. The newly designed lid has rolled metal edges on the metal ring to which a peelable membrane was sealed. SOLUTION RESULTS Bernal’s system engineers designed a turn-key system Multiple systems were provided that manufactured to produce production volumes of sealed and inspected this product to very demanding specifications on a lids. The system die cut the tab, folded and tacked production basis. Up time and scrap rates exceeded the tab, and vacuum transferred multiple lanes of the customer requirements. This customer initially membrane to heated metal rings traveling on a featured came to Bernal with a request to cut the membrane metal belt and ironing a seal between the membrane shape. Further discussions revealed the entire and the metal ring to ridged specifications. 100% of process which included multiple separate operations the rings were inspected for pin hole and seal leaks that Bernal ended up integrating into one production at speed prior to delivering the rings into horizontal system eliminating costly labor and part handling. The batches for packaging. Tab die cutting, membrane die new lids solved an issue with the previous design used cutting, ring feed and transfer were all registered to each to package various food products where raw metal other to maintain precise tolerances edges were a safety hazard for children. 2960 Technology Dr. bernalrotarydies.com OVER 50 YEARS OF Rochester Hills, MI 48309 ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE bernalrotarysystems.com 1.800.BERNAL1 [email protected] ® WORLD LEADER IN ROTARY CONVERTING TECHNOLOGY Bernal performance is the benchmark for high-speed rotary die-cutting and has established a new standard for inline web-printing and converting.

The force required to sever a material by the pressing action of the die is considerably greater The answer is as follows. than the force required for a cutting process using a blade. Die-cutting is a process by which the material is compressed and cut with the aid of a die. The Various factors influence the forces which come process is performed either on a flat-bed die- into play during the die-cutting process: cutting machine or on a rotary die-cutting machine.

    The Impact of the Flexo Folder-Gluer on Packaging Distribution Alexandra Hartford Michigan State University School of Packaging A322 Bailey Hall East Lansing, MI 48825 [email protected] 231.884.4840 Table of Contents Introduction 1 The Flexo Folder-Gluer 2 Feed Section 3 Printing Section 4 Creaser-Slotter 5 In-Line Die Cutter 6 Glue Lap Unit 8 Folding Section 9 Delivery End 9 Conclusion 10 Hartford 1 Introduction Corrugated boxes have been successful for over 100 years and statistics show that the corrugated industry is still thriving. Corrugated boxes are one of the most stable packaging forms in today’s industry. According to The Marketing Guide to the U.S. Packaging Industry, in 2004 paperboard packaging products made up 40.3% of the shipment packaging industry. Paperboard sales were more than double any other material during both 2004 and 2005. Inside of the paperboard industry, corrugated board made up 64% of all paperboard sales in 2004. According to the same source, corrugated shipping containers alone had $29.5 billion in shipments during the 2005 year. This was more than all plastic packaging material combined which totaled $26.346 billion. Not only do corrugated shipping containers dominate as distribution packages, the industry continues to grow. It is expected that the corrugated container industry will grow by 1.3% from 2005 to 2010 despite the threat from other packaging materials, such as plastics (The Marketing Guide, 2006). The properties of corrugated boxes make them valuable distribution packages and give the corrugated industry a slight advantage over other competitors. Corrugated boxes are best suited as a shipping container because of their strength to cost ratio (Jonson, 1999).

  • Film Processing Practices
    Film processing practices Converting thin fi lms Thinner, lighter constructions The continued push for thinner and lighter constructions has been a trend in the packaging and pressure sensitive label market for the last 20 years. With changes in the type of film used in the label face (PET vs BOPP) and continued reductions in the thickness of the PET liners, we have seen a reduction in total overall caliper of 30 to 50%. Down gauged films and liners continue to be the trend in the industry for pressure sensitive decoration. Thinner films allow for improved sustainability, increased yield and reduction in manufacturing costs and storage without sacrificing the performance requirements of the label. Thin clear films normally have the potential for improved shelf appeal as well (reducing the label profile on the container for an enhanced “no label look”.) While there are many advantages to thin films there are some best practices that should be made when converting and applying these labels. Here are some converting tips and best practices when using thin film stock. Web handling • All rollers should be clean and in good working order. • Older nip rolls should be checked to ensure that durometer (hardness) has not changed signifi cantly. It is not uncommon for nip rollers to slowly increase in durometer becoming harder and smoother, causing slippage of the thinner fi lms over time. • Anti-static devices at both rewind and unwind are recommended. • The press should be well grounded. This would include any external unwind or rewind stations. • The lowest tensions should be run while still maintaining good registration.

  • Starview Slitting and Die Cutting Machines
    SDC SERIES AUTOMATIC SLITTING-DIE CUTTING MACHINES Standard SDC Slitter-Die Cutter EXPERIENCE THE STARVIEW ADVANTAGE: Two sizes available to handle 18” through 30” wide skin boards. A single machine able to cut, slit or perforate with products facing up on skin boards. Cross-cut is programmable and slitting wheels are moveable for altering cutting pattern without having to make new cutting dies. Linear skin board travel facilitates production work ow. Small footprint to conserve oor space. Industry leading design, construction, features and customer support. DESCRIPTION: Starview’s SDC Series combination slitting and die cutting machines are a cost eective way to trim skin packaged products. These machines eliminate the use of individual steel rule dies for each dierent package conguration. The SDC Series features an intermittent motion in-feed conveyor to transfer skin boards to the die cutting and slitting area. Circular cutters running against a hardened steel roller are used to slit parallel to the movement of the skin board. A pneumatic press activates the cross cutting perpendicular to the move- ment of the skin board. The interval at which this cut is made is programmable from the touch screen operator interface panel. Starview’s SDC Series machines utilize photocells and clear polycarbonate guards for oper- ator safety. To prevent damage to the cross cutting knife, the SDC Series machines also utilize photocells to detect products that may be in the cutting area. For standard die cutting operations using conventional steel rule dies Starview’s RP Series Roller Die Cutters should be considered. more on next page SPECIFICATIONS: SDC24 SDC30 Maximum skin card width: 24” 30” Maximum skin card length: 40” 40” Maximum product height: 5.0“ 5.0“ Slitting: (5) single-cut standard (5) single-cut standard Cross cut style: 10,000 lbs.

(Smooth, or textured, flat or curved, clean or oily) ❑ What environment will the label be exposed to? ❑ At what temperature will the label be applied? ❑ Does the label need to be permanent or removable? ❑ Is there any imprinting? If imprinting, what method is being used? ❑ Is “PPAP” required? Label Characteristics ❑ Do you have a sample? If yes, do you want us to match your sample? ❑ Do you have a blueprint? If yes, please provide. ❑ What is the size of the label? Do you want exact size or is there a +/-? ❑ How many colors? (Spot color or CMYK) ❑ Material type?(Paper, Film, Polyester, Polypropylene, etc.) ❑ Is there a “Mandatory Liner “if yes what is it? ❑ Does the label need “Lamination” for protection? (Gloss, matte, etc.) ❑ How is it being applied? (Machine or hand-applied) ❑ Is there consecutive numbering? ❑ Are there any bar codes? If yes, what is the symbology? ❑ Any copy changes? If yes, how many?
