How to code flexible film efficiently?
Flexible film: a vital role in distribution chains
Flexible film is becoming the packaging material of choice for food manufacturers and other companies in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector.
It is inexpensive, efficient to work with and available in a wide range of materials with diverse properties.
When it comes to flexible film coding, companies are turning away from mechanical technologies, like hot stamping and rotary coding, in favor of four digital options which improve traceability and uptime: thermal transfer, continuous inkjet, thermal inkjet and laser.
The challenge for manufacturers is to find the best technology for their application.
