Modern packaging decoration requires precise control of surface properties, material interactions, and finishing techniques. Current manufacturing processes must balance aesthetic appeal with functional requirements - from maintaining transparency levels of 0.5-3% haze in films to achieving micron-scale surface roughness (1-10μm) for anti-blocking properties.

The core challenge lies in developing decoration methods that enhance visual appeal and functionality while maintaining material integrity and manufacturing efficiency.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including dual-layer polyester films with controlled surface friction, thixotropic clay-polymer coatings for barrier properties, embossed thermoplastic surfaces, and functional reinforcing papers with protective coatings. These and other approaches focus on achieving reliable decoration results while meeting increasing demands for sustainability and product protection.
