Flexographic Printing for High-Speed Package Decoration

Aerosol-generating article wrapper with etched designs that provides branding and decoration on aerosol devices like e-cigarettes without the issues of embossing or printing. The wrapper is made of cellulosic material with a thickness of at least 35 microns and tensile strength of at least 25 N/15 mm. The etched designs are created by laser etching, evaporating material to carve lines less than the thickness of the wrapper. This allows detailed, customizable designs without tools or inks that can transfer.

Embossed printing ink for security documents and packaging that dries quickly, prevents ink leakage, allows precise embossment, and prevents ink transfer to the back of printed pages. The ink composition includes a compound curable with UV light, an oxidatively polymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator, an oxidative polymerization catalyst, and pigment. This ink formulation enables faster drying, prevents softness that reduces embossment, and prevents ink transfer between printed pages when stacked.

Label packaging material with improved printing quality when a shielding layer is used. The label has a base material with a shielding layer printed on one side to hide certain areas. Designs are then printed on the shielded side using letterpress. To prevent overemphasized edges, a halftone layer is printed around the designs using the same ink color. This prevents excessive printing pressure and improves printing quality.

Packaging bottles with embedded letters to provide product details directly on the bottle instead of labels that can't be recycled. The letters are created using embossing, carving, laser, sandblasting, or corrosion techniques to form raised, indented, or etched letters on the bottle surface. This allows product information like ingredients, allergens, and warnings to be permanently molded into the packaging instead of added as separate labels. The embedded letters can be read easily and remain intact when the bottle is recycled.

Packaging apparatus for producing blister bags containing medicaments with tactile embossments that are perceivable by visually impaired patients. The apparatus shapes a web into a tube with overlaps, then joins it longitudinally. Embossers extend transversely to create embossed areas between joins. This allows tactile markings on the blister bags that can be felt to convey intake information for visually impaired users.

Film for packaging bags that easily tears open when sealed into bags, and a method to make it. The film has a printed layer sandwiched between other layers. By irradiating the printed layer with laser light, it melts and forms linear grooves. This allows easy tearing of the bags when opened. The grooves are shallowest where the printed dots are, and deeper in the intervening areas. The printed dots absorb more light, melting and fusing the layers together. This provides close contact for tearing at the grooves.

Cardboard pharmaceutical packaging containers that prevent bending of the closure joints. The outer joint of the cardboard box has relief embossing with longitudinal raised elements. This embossing occupies at least 80% of the joint surface and the raised elements are parallel to the fiber direction. The embossing prevents arching of the joints due to stresses and temperature changes. The embossing reduces joint bending by 1-2.5 mm on average.

Printing on packaging materials such as corrugated boards with good results, whilst avoiding or reducing the need for high opacity inks and white inks. The printing includes changing the image data of the image file taking into account that the colour of the side of the packaging material is substantially white; combining the changed image data with image data for the one or more second image areas to obtain the print data; and folding and optionally gluing the packaging material into multiple packaging products.

A pharmaceutical packaging box with visual effects to enhance the user experience and make the product more appealing. The packaging box has design features like embossing, debossing, foil stamping, holographic printing, or other techniques that create tactile or visual effects on the surface of the box. These effects can be used to convey product information, branding, or other messages to the user. The visual effects could be simple patterns, intricate designs, or anything that catches the eye and adds an element of interest to the otherwise plain pharmaceutical packaging. The goal is to create a packaging box that stands out and provides an engaging user experience beyond just the medication inside.

Printing 3D micro-optical images on packaging materials to provide packaging systems with 3D micro-optical effects. The method involves printing images on a substrate, coating with a varnish, and forming microscopic lenses in the varnish. The lenses have a height of 50-150 nm and diameter of 20-300 nm. They are arranged to match the image locations for moiré magnification. The varnish can be heat or UV curable. The process allows 3D micro-optics on flexible or rigid substrates using techniques like inkjet, flexo, or letterpress.

Method for forming packaging material with improved properties by treating and coating a base material. The method involves applying heat to remove fibers from one side of the base material to create a smooth surface. Then, a coating is applied to that side. This process allows creating a packaging material with a smooth coated side and a rough fiber side. The smooth side can be used for printing or labeling, while the rough side can provide grip or texture. The coating can also be modified by localized heat treatment for further customization.
