Narrow Web Printing Packaging UV-IR Applications
Narrow Web packaging consists of printing, coating, and converting applications on webs ranging from approximately 6" to 18" wide. Substrates range from paper and films to foils and include many others. A majority of the Narrow Web Packaging applications were strictly label printing, but that has changed over the past 10 years. More and more narrow web packaging is expanding to shrink sleeves and pouches. Press manufacturers are adding flexibility to their press lines by adding stations that do more than just print. Many print lines now include coating stations, digital print stations, adhesive stations, die-cutting, etc.
Advantages of using UV on Narrow Web packaging applications include:
Faster production times
Higher quality printed product and sharper dots
Chemical and Scratch Resistant
Ability to do specialty printing
Flexibility to run on a wider array of substrates
