01 / MATERIAL ROLLS
Start with the film structure.
Base-film rolls are prepared for conversion. The selected materials and thicknesses are reviewed against the packaging specification.
ROLLSTOCK PRODUCTION PROCESS
A closer look at
how your film
is made.
From base-film rolls to printed, laminated rollstock.
Follow the key stages used to turn base-film rolls into printed, laminated packaging. Explore how printing, lamination, curing, slitting and inspection relate to the finished roll.

FOLLOW THE FILM
- Material rolls
- Printing
- Lamination
- Curing
- Slitting & rewinding
A typical laminated-rollstock workflow. The exact route depends on the selected material and order specification.
INSIDE PRODUCTION
Five stages.
One packaging specification.
See the equipment and work areas used to turn film materials into rolls ready for the next production stage.
02 / PRINTING
Bring the artwork onto film.
The printing line transfers the artwork to the film. Print layout, repeat length and registration marks are part of the production specification.
03 / LAMINATION
Combine the selected layers.
Lamination joins the selected films or foil into one structure. Each layer has a role in the finished packaging, from the printed surface to the inner sealing layer.
04 / CURING
Allow time for the laminate.
Laminated rolls are held through the required curing stage. Time and conditions depend on the adhesive system and laminate specification.
05 / SLITTING & REWINDING
Prepare rolls for your line.
The wide web is slit and rewound into rolls for the agreed format. Roll width, core size, winding direction and roll dimensions must match the filling equipment.
CHECKS ALONG THE WAY
Look beyond
the finished roll.
Print review, film inspection and material testing help address different questions about the packaging.
Print & Color Review
Review printed appearance against the approved artwork and agreed color reference.
Film Inspection
An inspection and rewinding station provides another point to review the printed web.
Material Testing
The partner laboratory supports material checks. The required tests and reporting scope are reviewed for each project.
Every batch of our rollstock comes with a third-party test report. Review the relevant tests, material records and facility documentation for your project.
