Converting Recommendation

Before printing or laminating the use of an inline corona station is recommended, with proper power, in order to boost the treatment of the metal surface. It is highly advisable to be used adequate primer when the metallized surface is to be printed. Metalized films should be laminated because the metal layer is not resistant to scratches.

Usage Recommendations
  • It is recommended that BOPP film should be tempered at operating room temperature for 24 hours before use
  • Metalized films should be laminated because the metal layer is not resistant to scratches
  • Before printing on metalized films, it is strongly recommended to apply a primer

Storage & Handling

Storage and Transportation Terms & Conditions
  • Palletizing of goods is done according to customer’s requirements
  • The storage of all goods is in dry, covered and clean warehouses
  • The transportation of the goods is carried out in dry, covered and clean means of transport
  • The recommended temperature of storage/transportation is 10-30°C. If the temperature is not within the recommended limits, the following issues may occur:
    • Decrease of dyne level
    • Higher haze of the film
    • Poor adhesion of the film surface that on a later stage could be an issue for laminating and printing
    • Extremely low COF that can trouble further processing
  • Excessive humidity can be a reason for film blocking
  • Adherence to the above mentioned storage conditions ensures that the film is suitable to be used up to 6 months after production
