Flexible packaging
The visual side of packaging is critical in the fight for attention on supermarket shelves. But the print on packaging has to meet more requirements, especially in flexible packaging where the ink is often part of a multilayer structure of different types of plastic films.
The ink should not weaken the package structure and for instance be suitable for exposure to conditions in the oven, microwave or even withstand to cook the food in the package during production. For flexible packaging our NeoRez™ polyurethanes are globally used as ink binders and primers. These resins are used to create vibrant graphics on a juice pouch that will not taint the child’s drink. Or a busy student can quickly prepare a meal in the microwave, without delamination of the laminated film when opening it. This is a result of our long relationships with our customers and our unique understanding of materials science and packaging applications. Take advantage of our experience to move to more sustainable processes and products, improve quality, and realize what you have never been able to realize before.
