Custom Engineered Laminations
While some flexible packaging manufacturers offer a standard “menu” of flexible packaging materials, at New Wave Converting, Inc., we engineer customized flexible packaging structures designed specifically for your products. We’ve specialized in flexible packaging since 1980, and our expertise in polymer chemistry and flexible packaging engineering allows us to design optimal, cost-effective flexible packaging materials. We work with a vast range of films, foils, papers, and resins when engineering customized flexible packaging laminations. A flexible packaging structure typically consists of multiple layers of materials laminated together, with each layer performing a crucial role in your packaging’s performance and presentation. Each layer provides specific performance characteristics:
- Oxygen, moisture, or light resistance
- Chemical resistance
- Puncture resistance
- Tear resistance
- Rigidity
- Glossy or matte appearance
- Opacity or translucency
- Heat seal ability
- Print receptivity
Based on your requirements (including regulatory, cost, and aesthetic requirements) packaging equipment, product formulation, projected life cycle, and distribution methods, we can custom-engineer and suggest optimal flexible packaging structures for each of your products.
