Integrated Manufacturing & Engineering

From automated prepress to high-precision finishing. Our vertically integrated facility ensures full control over lead times, quality validation, and sustainable material conversion. Instead of excessive single-layer coatings, we engineer structured functional matrices for superior machine stability.

Technology

From artwork to finished custom packaging – our integrated in-house production delivers speed, accuracy, and full control.

Automated Prepress & Color Management

We utilize Hybrid Software specifically configured for packaging automation. Our closed-loop workflow simulates final print results (GMG/Epson proofing) to validate artwork for runnability and ensure strict adherence to ISO 12647-6 standards before production begins.

  • Hybrid automation
  • Automated error detection
  • Print-ready files every time
  • Epson proofing and color simulation
  • ISO 12647-6 standard compliance

High-Definition Flexography (HD Flexo)

High-Definition Flexography (HD Flexo) Our manufacturing floor operates both narrow and wide-web flexo lines capable of printing up to 10 colors in a single pass. We specialize in water-based ink systems, delivering food-safe, solvent-free packaging without compromising print density or scratch resistance on paper and flexible films.

  • Narrow and wide-web presses
  • CMYK, Pantone, and metallic inks
  • UV LED and water-based printing
  • Short- and long-run flexibility
  • Validated for Paper, PP, PE, and Alu-foil

Barrier Coating & Lamination

Moving beyond standard lamination. We operate specialized lines for water-based dispersion coating, creating fully repulpable mono-materials with functional barriers (Moisture/Grease/Oxygen). We also engineer custom water-based adhesive laminates for high-performance duplex structures.

  • Plastic Replacement (Dispersion Coating)
  • Compostable and recyclable structures
  • Shelf-life optimized
  • Monomaterial packaging structures
  • Water-based adhesive lamination
Specialized line for engineered multi-layered barrier coatings and plastic-free recyclable mono-materials.

Precision Converting & Finishing

The final step ensures runnability on your lines. Our capabilities include registered cutting for wrapping sheets, high-speed die-cutting ("kiss-cut") for labels, and automated pouch forming. We guarantee tight tolerances for seamless integration into your packing equipment.

  • High-precision slitting and die-cutting
  • Pouch and paper bag converting
  • Window placement and embossing
  • Tight tolerances, repeatable results
  • Registered sheeting & Kiss-cut accuracy

In-house Ink Lab & Validation

We don't guess—we formulate and validate. Our internal lab utilizes X-Rite spectrophotometers to ensure Delta E < 2.0 color consistency. Crucially, we validate packaging performance in-house: measuring seal strength for mechanical integrity and utilizing OTR & WVTR analyzers during material development to verify essential barrier properties against oxygen and moisture.

  • OTR & WVTR barrier analysis
  • Seal strength testing
  • Custom ink formulation
  • Strict viscosity control
  • X-Rite color management (Delta E < 2.0)
