Next, there are various options for additions in or on the film.
- Printing
Fardem Packaging has access to 12 inline printing machines that can print up to 8 colors. It is also possible to apply a lacquer coating, in order to enhance the friction and scratch resistance of the print. - Perforating and Punching
Holes can be made in the film. The options for the size of the holes vary from 0.04mm to 3cm. - Embossing
Applying relief to the surface of the film, to improve the friction. - Folding
Through so-called side gusset blades, a side gusset can be made. - Flat film
A flattened tubular film can be cut up into 2 separate strips of flat film. Afterwards, the film is rolled up around a PVC or carton core. Now the film is ready for further processing.
Fardem Packaging has a modern machine pool with various extruders. On a number of these machines, coex film can be produced as well. This is a type of film consisting of multiple layers. An example is the film used to package potting soil. The inside of potting soil packaging is often black, because it needs to be lightproof. The outside is often white, in order to be able to print a nice design. Each layer of film has its specific properties. When choosing the composition of the film, the unique circumstances at the end user’s are taken into account. To this end, Fardem Packaging uses a mix of polyethylene (PE) types, masterbatches, and additives. Each raw material has its own function, and all together they partly determine the final properties of the film. Thanks to this variety of possibilities there is a solution for each application. You can rest assured that Fardem Packaging is always well informed concerning the most recent developments in the field of raw materials and machines, in order to be able to fulfil all your wishes, even in the long term.
The employees of the extrusion department work in 5-team shifts. Our technical service keeps the machine pool up to date. This enables us to guarantee our excellent quality.
