Paper can be used in flexible packaging, in boxes and in corrugated containers. Paper can also be printed or coated on sheet-fed or web processing lines. Printers may apply ink, coating, or adhesives through a variety of print processes such as Flexo, Offset, Gravure, or Digital. Due to the vast array of paper types, in-line UV curing systems or Infra-Red - Air impingement drying systems often prove very beneficial to help printers and converters deliver a higher quality printed and/or coated product in a much shorter time period. 

Advantages of UV on Paper Packaging:

• Ability to run Roll-to-Roll or Roll-to-Sheet

Advantages of IR & AI on Paper Packaging:

• Ability to run Roll-to-Roll or Roll-to-Sheet

• Water based Chemistry has reduced VOC's

• Capability to run on both Coated and Uncoated Stocks

• Faster Press Speeds

• Certain water-based chemistry approved for direct food contact.
