Business Description: Founded in 1971, Extrusion Dies Industries (EDI), 

LLC is an international supplier of flat extrusion and co-extrusion die systems 

for the full range of film, sheet, extrusion coating, fluid coating and strand 

palletizing applications. Primary production is carried out at the world 

headquarters in Chippewa Falls, WI, U.S.A. EDI GmbH, located in Reichsof- 

Wehnrath, Germany, and EDI Precision Dies (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in China, 

wholly-owned subsidiaries, and Kodama Chemical, a licensed rework facility, 

in Japan can offer a full line of remanufacturing services. 

Products: EDI manufactures mono- and multi-layer production dies and 

anxillary equipment. EDI builds two types of slot die coating systems: the 

Liberty® fixed-lip system, and the Ultracoat® adjustable lip system. Liberty 

slot dies are particularly suited for very thin and optically clear coatings 

requiring very close tolerances. Ultracoat slot dies have a flexible lip, whose 

adjustability is the key to controlling the lip gap profile and thus the coat 

weight. EDI offers a Modular Coating System (MCS) which is capable of 

rolling into place on nearly any commercial coating line. Enabling operators to 

switch readily between roll and slot die coating or use the for trial purposes. 

EDI custom-designs each MCS to meet user requirements and can supply 

the system with an Ultracoat flexible lip die or a Liberty fixed lip die, a backing 

roll and support stand plus more optional features. Also available are trial 

runs of the Liberty Dies with the WetWare module. This module is a trialsize 

coating system that enables converters using conventional roll coating 

processes to test-run slot die coating in their own plants. 

Re-manufacturing operations are utilized for simple die overhauls, for 

bringing equipment back to original operating specifications and for more 

complex operations such as resizing flow surfaces and adding advanced 

technology. These capabilities are available at our headquarters in Chippewa 

Falls, WI, EDI GmbH, Germany and EDI China. EDI has recently opened 

its own Technology Lab available for all of your trial needs. Our lab includes 

three fully equipped processing laboratories which include a cast film line, an 

extrusion coating and laminating line and a slot die coating line. 

capabilities: We supply flat dies for the converting industry such as 

extrusion coating, cast & oriented film, fluid coating and intermittent (patch 

coating) coating.

significant cost savings over Cold Form Foil in packaging operations. Aclar 

film is crystal clear, biochemically inert, chemical-resistant, nonflammable, 

and plasticizer and stabilizer-free. Aclar laminates do not yellow, crack or 

deteriorate with time. 

Honeywell has launched HydroBlock. HydroBlock offers economical 

alternatives to various fluoropolymers for non Pharma and non food 

applications. HydroBlock delivers unsurpassed moisture barrier in a 

chemically and biochemically inert film and resin. 

Honeywell Process Solutions has products that control the manufacture of

source for new and reconditioned rolls. We focus on serving customers with 

west coast and national footprints who use our rolls in their most demanding 

applications, where attention to quality matters the most. 

Converters and manufacturers use our rolls to convert, coat, paint, emboss, 

laminate, and squeegee - working with paper, plastic, steel, aluminum, wood, 

glass, nonwovens, and textiles. 

Our Roll Sciences division utilizes advanced equipment and processes 

tailored for the most demanding applications and the most stringent 

specifications. 

The specialized equipment we have developed to support AIMCAL members 

includes the TruShape2 measuring device, which provides superior inprocess 

measurement capabilities to help deliver rolls with superior precision. 

This advanced electronic measuring system produces accurate pictures of 

the exact geometric shape of a roller. These pictures can help diagnose roller 

problems and help to ensure that new rollers will be successful in customers’ 

equipment. 

This means that converters and manufacturers can use the resulting higher 

precision rolls to gain increased control of their production processes. 

The Roll Sciences division also offers considerable product development 

and custom capabilities, working in an array of materials including rubber, 

polyurethane, silicone, nylon, Teflon, Rilsan and chrome plated surfaces. 

We focus on developing a thorough understanding of your application, 

solving the toughest technical challenges, and delivering what you need, 

when you need it. 

Products: Covered rolls, roll fabrication, regrinds, recovers, journal repairs, 

shafts, bearings.

USA 

Phone: 847-695-7600

Website: www.multifilm.com 

Business Description: Multifilm Packaging is a fully integrated manufacturer 

of flexible packaging solutions for the food, beverage, and confectionery 

industries, serving the north American market. We specialize in piece wraps 

for confections and high-barrier laminates. 

Our products include twist wraps, flow wraps, bag and pouch film, both single 

web and laminates. Our markets include confections, snack foods, dry foods, 

coffee, powders, and a variety of other applications. 

Our capabilities include cast film extrusion of CPP and PE, metallizing and 

de-metallizing, printing, laminating, coating, and slitting. All these processes 

are done under one roof in our facility in Elgin, IL, just outside Chicago. 

We are ISO 9000 2008 and AIB certified and we have a well-equipped 

Quality Assurance lab in-house to assure that our products meet the 

most rigorous quality standards - yours. We also follow GMP and HAACP 

guidelines. 

Environmental stewardship is important to Multifilm, and our newly installed 

Geothermal Process Cooling & HVAC System makes us one of the least 

energy-consuming converters around. All of our products are FDA approved 

and completely free of BPA and lead. We also offer materials that are PVC 

free, and we have the supporting documentation that our customers need. 


UltraWrap - The ultimate twist material. 

Designed specifically to compete with cellophane where other materials 

have failed in the past, UltraWrap is a 5-layer cast modified, high-crystalline 

polyethylene based film. UltraWrap has excellent stiffness, twist and dead 

fold properties, and features high clarity and gloss. It is a very stable material, 

and will not dry out and turn brittle in low-humidity conditions. The material 

works very well on the majority of twist wrap machines on the market today, 

including cut ‘n wrap machines for taffy and caramels. UltraWrap is also ideal 

for wrapping chocolates and pre-formed confection. 

SuperSeal - The alternative sealant web. 

SuperSeal is a proprietary, cast-modified polypropylene sealant web that 

competes with OPP and PE for bag film and flow wrap laminates. With a seal 

layer six times thicker than most OPP grades, seals are hermetic and leakers 

are a thing of the past. SuperSeal has an excellent water barrier and hot tack, 

and easily seals through contaminations, such as food dust and spills. 

SuperSeal is clearer and more scratch resistant than PE, and is perfect for 


packing abrasive products in a clear window pouch. SuperSeal is also stiffer 

than PE and often allows for downgauging, which helps save both money 

and the environment by reducing the amount of packaging used. 

SuperSeal can be laminated to OPP, PET, and paper, and is available is 

many gauges ranging from 40ga to over 3 mils. The film is available in clear 

or white. 

Hi-Z - The high-barrier, metallized flow wrap. 

Our Hi-Z film is a proprietary, metallized sealant web that makes for an 

outstanding flow wrapper. The hermetic seals and barrier are far superior to 

an OPP/MET OPP laminate, and the running speed is much faster than a 

PET/MET PET/PE triplex laminate. 

Hi-Z is available in 1.0 mil and 1.2 mil thicknesses, can be laminated to OPP, 

matte OPP or PET and reverse printed for excellent gloss. It can also be 

laminated to a surface printed paper as a replacement for PPFP laminates in 

applications where the absolute barrier of foil is too expensive or simply not 

necessary. 

Hi-Z is ideal for bar applications for chocolate, granola, and energy bars 

and breakfast bars. It’s also perfect for any application that requires the 

combination of high barrier and high speed. 

Hi-E - The high-barrier, metallized sealant web. 

Similar to Hi-Z, Hi-E is a high-barrier, metallized sealant web, but more 

suitable for bag and pouch applications. Hi-E features high gas barrier 

and oxygen barrier and an easy-open feature. Just like Hi-Z, Hi-E can be 

laminated to a reverse printed PET or OPP, depending on the application. 

Hi-E is stiffer than PE, and is an excellent way to reduce material and the 

amount of packaging used in an application. Hi-E is available in 1.0, 1.2, and 

1.6 mil thicknesses. 

D-Met - Metallized bag with a window! 

D-Met is a so-called de-metallization process that partly removes metal 

from a metallized film, leaving a clear window in an otherwise metallized 

design. Backing printing inks with a metallized film gives the packaging 

excellent visual appeal as the colors appear metallic and shiny. With D-Met, 

we remove specific parts of the metal to reveal the product inside while still 

backing the printing inks with metal. The product is displayed like a clear 

window bag, and the colors have the brilliance of a metallized bag. 

D-Met is the ideal process for creating a package that stands out on the shelf. 

In today’s economy, differentiation is more important than ever, and D-Met 

will make the product pop on the shelf. 

The concept of de-metallization is not new, but it has traditionally been done 

mostly in Asia, commanding a premium price and creating logistics issues 

with long lead times. A way around it has been the use of metallized inks 

that have a similar appearance, but the high cost of such inks has prevented 

widespread use. Multifilm Packaging is the only integrated converter in north 

America to offer the process. 

D-Met can be applied to virtually any material; if it can be metallized, it can 

be de-metallized. The process can be applied to both single web over-wrap 

films and protected laminations for bag films to serve a large variety of 

applications. And because Multifilm is an integrated converter with in-house 

extrusion, printing, metallization, lamination, and now de-metallization, D-Met 

is more cost-effective than ever.

Prof. steven Abbott 

Steven Abbott TCnF 

email: steven@stevenabbott.co.uk 

Website: www.stevenabbott.co.uk 

Professor Steven Abbott 

studied chemistry at U. 

Oxford, then completed his 

Oxford Ph.D. at Harvard. 

His post-doc research 

occurred in the lab of nobel 

Prize winner, Prof. J-M Lehn 

in Strasbourg. He worked for 15 years at 

ICI on polymer and coating science, then 

became research director at Autotype, near 

Oxford, who specializes in coatings onto 

polyester and polycarbonate films. As a way 

of bringing coating science into development 

and production, Abbott partnered with the 

coatings research group at U. Leeds and 

subsequently became a visiting professor 

in the School of Mechanical Engineering. 

Together with colleagues from the U. Leeds, 

he developed TopCoat and TopWeb, which 

are used throughout the converting industry 

to help optimize coating and converting 

conditions and solve real-world production 

problems. 

When he retired from Autotype he 

established Steven Abbott TCnF, where 

T=Technical Software, C=Coating/Printing, 

n=nanocoatings and F=Formulation. His 

software solutions include Hansen Solubility 

Parameters in Practice, which aids the 

understanding of solubility issues; Optimal 

Surfactant, which elaborates on surfactant 

formulations; Formulating For Efficacy, 

which provides solutions to optimize delivery 

of active molecules to the skin; and Surface 

Profiler, which aids in the understanding 

of surface roughness phenomena. He is 

currently working on an adhesion modeler to 

provide insights into the various mechanisms 

of adhesion, which will be covered in his 

AIMCAL Adhesion & Adhesives two-day 

training course. 

With his broad interests, Abbott has published 

papers, gained patents and spoken at 

conferences on a wide range of subjects 

including data storage, organic photovoltaics, 

oil-field corrosion, geomembranes, coating 

science and surfactant optimization for 

cosmetics manufacture. 

Although he loves pure science, his passion 

is applying science to real-world production. 

Because he finds that he often doesn’t 

understand a subject just by reading papers 

and equations, he writes programs that bring 

the academic sciences to life. His hope is 

that these models and the science behind 

them can help others to troubleshoot their 

own development and production issues.

On leaving school at 16, 

Charles Bishop served a fouryear 

craft apprenticeship in 

Mechanical Engineering. 

During this time, he also 

studied to gain O.n.C. 

and H.n.C in mechanical 

engineering at the local technical college. 

On completing his apprenticeship as a 

toolmaker, winning a ‘Best Student’ award 

along the way, Bishop entered Loughborough 

University and studied for a B.Sc. in Materials 

Engineering. On gaining an Honours 

degree and a diploma in Industrial Studies, 

he moved to the Physics Department to 

research vacuum deposition processes and 

he went on to gain both an M.Phil. and Ph.D. 

by research and thesis. 

After a period of time as a post-doctoral 

research scientist at the University where 

Bishop also took on consultancy work, he 

was headhunted into Imperial Chemical 

Industries (ICI plc). His first position in ICI 

was as a senior research scientist in Surface 

Engineering within the new Science Group. 

During his time, he worked for businesses as 

diverse as nylons, Polyesters, Explosives, 

Imagedata and Flex Products Inc. Projects 

included taking laboratory processes 

through to production, the technical input 

during the company selection process for the 

acquisition of a vacuum deposition company, 

troubleshooting a new $45M explosives 

production line, technology scanning to 

provide new technologies as part of a route 

to new markets, as well as numerous smaller 

product development tasks. During this time, 

work was carried out in the USA, Europe and 

the UK. 

In December 1998, Bishop elected to return 

to consultancy work and established his 

own business, C.A. Bishop Consulting, 

Ltd., offering help on all aspects of vacuum 

deposition including system design, process 

development and scale-up, process control, 

plasma surface treatments and coatings, as 

well as troubleshooting existing processes 

and running training courses. 

Bishop has published over 60 technical 

papers, has five patents and has managed 

training courses in the UK, USA, India 

and Europe. In 2007, his book Vacuum 

Deposition onto Webs, Films & Foils was 

published, which was followed by a second 

book Roll-to-Roll Vacuum Deposition of 

Barrier Coatings in 2010.

Jerry Brown began his career 

in web handling in 1960 

at Fife Corporation, one of 

the leading manufacturers 

of web guiding systems. 

He was involved in a wide 

variety of web-fed processes 

and made many important contributions to 

the early development and application of web 

handling equipment, including the following: 

• Independently discovered the normal entry 

rule in 1960, which allowed Fife to become 

the first company in the US to design 

web guide applications with predictable 

dynamic performance. 

• Conceptualized, in collaboration with an 

associate, the first bearing system that 

used more than two linear bearings to 

support steering rollers. 

• Developed numerous optical sensors and 

electronic control systems for applications 

in converting, textiles and metals. 

• Led the development of the world’s first 

microprocessor-based online nuclear 

thickness gauge. 

In 1997, Brown became an independent 

web handling consultant. He is a regular 

participant in web handling conferences 

sponsored by the Web Handling Research 

Center at Oklahoma State University and 

by AIMCAL. He has developed a modeling 

method based on elasticity theory and 

commercially available FEA software that 

precisely predicts the lateral behavior of

received his undergraduate 

degrees in Math and Physics 

in 1963. In 1968, he finally 

finished a Master’s degree 

in Space Physics under Dr. 

Van Allen at the U. of Iowa. 

He changed careers from launching things to

helping make things in order to feed his family adequately. Swisher 

joined Sheldahl to help develop a patented, solid state, flat screen 

television display. The patent for the TV screen didn’t actually 

work; however, the thin film materials and processes developed in 

the attempt led to innovative portable X-Ray image intensifiers, IR 

image intensifiers and low visible light image intensifiers that were 

of great interest to the US government. After this, several coatings 

were developed for use on adaptive, deceptive or just stealthy 

space decoys. Along the way, roll-to-roll coating of Bismuth films on 

polymers with immediate in-tank hot lamination was developed to 

make laser tracing films for situation displays. 

Most of Swisher’s interesting deposition experiences have been in 

evaporating very thick coatings of metals onto a variety of polymers 

and other webs. This has involved lead, tin, bismuth, aluminum, 

copper, silver, gold and lithium. 

He holds seven US patents in thin film coatings and five of them 

are making money for people. His most recent large projects were 

evaporating copper for use in flexible printed circuitry. 

Swisher’s current focus is helping some people try to make the 

world’s lowest cost, brightest solar mirrors for concentrating solar 

energy hybrid power plants. 

He retired from Sheldahl in May 2006. Swisher hopes that his prolific 

entries in the “Journal of Failed Experiments” can be of use to help 

others avoid some potholes in the road to success.

Executive Summaries • A Look Ahead 

Global consolidation 

In today’s mergers and acquisitions market, companies 

within the metallizing, coating and laminating industries 

face a critical decision. They can choose to embrace the 

current industry trends or ignore them. For companies 

who want to survive, the choice is clear: They must 

actively prepare for consolidation with the proper strategy. 

Since 2001, Blaige & Co. has tracked and analyzed every 

disclosed M&A transaction within the packaging industry. 

Based on this data, the company recently completed a 

10-year report that found that, on average, more than 

50 percent of 2001’s Top 50 packaging converters have 

either merged or sold over the past decade. 

During this time period, industry “leaders” have emerged 

as the top 10-20 percent of packaging companies 

who have maintained their leadership status through 

aggressive M&A strategies, which include the best 

acquisitions and selective divestitures. Another 10-20 

percent of the industry is made up of consolidatees or 

“followers” who are rapidly losing market share and 

are required to go through restructuring and/or make 

divestitures. The majority of the industry, the primarily 

small to mid-sized processors, are gradually losing market 

share to their stronger competitors and must consider 

their options to survive and thrive in this fragmented but 

consolidating industry. 

An example of this pattern is evident in the flexiblepackaging 

industry where there were numerous 

competitors back in the 1980s. By 2011, 34 percent 

market share was held by only four “leaders”— Amcor, 

Bemis, Printpack and Sealed Air. Still, compared to what 

has happened M&A-wise in other packaging segments 

such as glass bottles, metal cans and beverage cans, the 

global flex-pack field appears due for significant, further 

consolidation in 2012 and beyond. 

The label industry is no stranger to this M&A trend as 

well. Our research shows an average of 40 deals each 

year since 2003, and like flexible packaging, one-third 

of the Top 50 label converters back in 2001 have been 

eliminated via consolidation over the past decade. 


Despite the global financial crisis, M&A volume within 

the packaging industry has continued to increase. Thus, 

it appears that the forces of global consolidation have a 

greater influence than economic cycles. The implications 

of this conclusion are unique for buyers and sellers of 

packaging converters. Potential sellers and managers 

should be cautious in applying typical industrial “buy-andsell” 

decisions and thought patterns to packaging M&A. 

Data already indicate that the “sophisticated” sellers 

(corporate and financial/institutional sellers) have been 

on top of the current wave of favorable sell-side market 

conditions. Private and entrepreneurial owners often wait 

too long to respond to market developments and sell on 

the back-end of the cycle or miss the wave entirely. For 

2012, however, there are indications that many private 

sellers are now beginning to explore market opportunities. 

Additionally, capital availability has shown a 10-fold 

increase, pushing valuation multiples back to nearrecord 

levels, and the amount of un-invested privateequity 

capital has grown to nearly 10-fold over the past 

decade to a staggering $480 billion. These factors will 

continue to drive the deal market in 2012 and 2013, and 

consolidations in the metallizing, coating and laminating 

field will accelerate, creating both risk and opportunity. 

It’s a seller’s market, but CEOs must develop and 

effectively execute consolidation plans to properly 

survive and thrive. They must “Lead, Follow…or Get 

Out of the Way.” Whether you are considering a merger, 

sale or equity financing for an acquisition, you will bring 

significant negotiating and value-enhancing power to your 

side by partnering with an industry dedicated advisor. n

Flexible Packaging 

Between 2005 and 2011, the global converted flexiblepackaging 

market has grown by over one-third — from 

US$49 billion to US$68 billion — during which time the 

balance of production and demand has been inexorably 

shifting away from Europe and north America in favor of 

the Asia-Pacific region. In 2005, the north American and 

European markets together accounted for approaching 

60 percent of the global total, but by 2011 this share was 

barely 50 percent while Asia’s share has grown to over 40 

percent. As Asia’s position has grown, it has become both 

a threat and an opportunity to traditional supply chains. 

Over the next five years, PCI forecasts that the global 

market will grow by at least a further 25 percent to over 

US$85 billion by 2016, as it responds positively to global 

packaged-food trends and the inevitable drive toward 

sustainability in food packaging. 

While growth has been most dramatic in the Asia-Pacific 

region, flexible-packaging markets in other regions also 

have seen significant gains, especially in the Middle 

East, Africa and Central and South America. A number 

of leading flexible-packaging converters, including 

Amcor, Bemis and Sealed Air have recognized these 

opportunities and have expanded their manufacturing 

presence, helping to transform these markets. 

Consolidation in the converting industry — at both the 

regional and global level — has been evident in recent 

years, and more is expected over the next five years. 

Much of it will involve the large global players and privateequity 

firms such as Sun Capital. Running counter to 

this consolidation activity is the emergence of a growing 

number of smaller regional producers that have been able 

to carve out important positions as lower-cost and shortrun 

suppliers to both the major brand owners and smaller 

food packers. 

As with all industries, flexible-packaging producers have 

been keen to address environmental issues. They have 

helped reduce packaging-waste volumes by replacing 

glass bottles, blown and injection-molded containers, 

aluminium and tinplate cans and paperboard packages 

with lighter-weight flexible alternatives. In some cases, 

this has also meant that packaged-goods companies are 

able to reduce their carbon footprint. As a result of these 

changes, one of the fastest growing flexible-packaging 

formats is the stand-up pouch, which is being used in 

many applications as a highly cost-effective and attractive 

alternative to rigid formats. 

The growth in barrier packaging to reduce food waste in 

distribution is another trend that is expected to continue 

to drive added-value flexible packaging. Demand for high 

oxygen- and moisture-barrier metallized laminates and 

complex oxygen barrier coextrusions is already strong, 

but new cost-effective technologies are being developed 

and are likely to extend this sector further. 

Finally, the emergence of biodegradable and compostable 

materials as potential alternatives to petroleum-based 

polymer substrates has been vigorously promoted 

as an environmentally-acceptable route to handle all 

the problems of packaging-waste disposal; however, 

higher raw-material costs and the lack of suitable barrier 

properties of biodegradable and compostable materials 

means that so far they have made little impact. Most in 

the market believe, however, that environmental and 

legislative pressures will ultimately see the development 

of competitively priced non-oil-based alternatives, for the 

benefit of all. n

Executive Summaries • A Look Ahead


Labels & Labelstocks 

There’s no doubt about it. The label industry has changed 

dramatically in recent years. It’s now totally global – 

whether industry suppliers or label-user brand owners 

– they have a presence almost everywhere. Even key 

converters are becoming increasingly international in 

their operations with sites in more than one country or 

continent. 

The challenge for the industry has been that 80 percent 

of label growth now comes from emerging markets, 

especially China, India, South America, Eastern Europe 

and Southeast Asia. Globally, labelstock growth still runs 

at around 4-6 percent per annum; it’s just in different 

places than where it historically used to be. While north 

America and European market growth has declined to a 

miniscule amount each year, places like China and India 

are seeing double-digit growth. Suppliers to the industry 

have had to rapidly adapt to this pattern of change, 

building new coating, manufacturing and distribution/ 

service centers in developing markets. 

Demand for label materials worldwide — now around 44 

billion sq meters each year — has in turn lead to quite 

rapid materials inflation and significant cost increases for 

paper, film, adhesives and chemicals. This all comes at a 

time when major buyers of labels have been rationalizing 

their product lines and, at the same time, changing their 

buying patterns to shorter and shorter run lengths, more 

just-in-time sourcing and more variations and versions. In 

addition, they have been looking to drive down prices. 

not unsurprisingly, label-press manufacturers and 

converters have had to adapt to the changing market 

requirements for shorter runs and faster job changeover. 

A key beneficiary has been the digital label press. Well 

over 1,500 digital presses have been installed in the 

global roll-label industry in the past eight years alone. 

More than 300 new installations are expected during 

2012, which will represent around 20 percent of new 

narrow-web press installations this year. 

Conventional label-press manufacturers are not sitting 

idly by while digital races ahead. They have been bringing 

out new innovations to compete in the quick-change, 

quick-response, short-run marketplace. nilpeter, for 

example, recently introduced its Revolver Die System 

that enables a new die to be prepared while the press 

is running. Shorter web paths, new chambered doctorblade 

systems, slide-out print units, etc., are all helping 

conventional (flexographic) press manufacturers to 

compete in the new world of digital. Combination 

printing-process presses are also continuing to find new 

applications and markets. 


With shorter runs and more job changeovers comes a 

growing need for enhanced prepress solutions, such as 

HD Flexo and Digital Flexo Suite from EskoArtwork, and 

more comprehensive management information systems 

(MIS) and workflow software to handle 15, 20 or more job 

changes per press per day. 

On top of all the market and technology trends, there’s 

also been an increasing demand from brand owners 

and consumers for the label industry to be “greener.” 

Labelexpo Europe saw the launch of thinner materials 

(15 micron), fully-recyclable film liner, more labels per 

roll, new recycling initiatives and new developments in 

linerless and wash-off labels. Ink manufacturers, press 

manufacturers, UV-curing system suppliers and others 

are all applying environmental, waste-handling and 

sustainability solutions. 

So where does the label industry stand today? Pressuresensitive 

labels continue to grow and are the dominant 

technology in developed markets. Wet-glue labels are 

still strong in emerging markets, but face increasing 

competition. Shrink-sleeve labeling also is quite strong in 

emerging markets and is even finding new applications 

and markets in developed countries, but from a smaller 

market base. 

new ideas, applications and markets continue to be found 

for labels. QR codes, Snap Tags, electronic labels and 

other innovative, interactive ideas are gaining ground. 

Smart labels are finding increasing applications, while 

anti-counterfeit and brand-protection solutions are on 

the rise. Converters certainly need to become more 

customer- and service-focused, developing Web-toprint 

portals, introducing MIS systems to link printer and 

customer, and even becoming one-stop shops for more 

than one label technology or to additionally supply folding 

cartons, flexible packaging, pouches, sachets, etc., to the 

same customer. 

The world of labels is continuing to change, perhaps 

faster now than ever before, but the opportunities are 

still out there, and the best converters will survive and 

grow. Labelexpo Americas in Chicago (Sept. 11-13) 

undoubtedly will have much to encourage that growth. n

vacuum-coated & 

Metallized Materials 

The global market for vacuum-coated and metallized 

films, papers and boards is highly regionalized. Demand 

is at its highest in Asia, representing 50 percent of the 

global market, followed by Europe at 24 percent, north 

America at 18 percent and South America at 5 percent. 

Asia, China and India are major producers and exporters 

of vacuum-metallized materials, both for “domestic’’ 

regional use and for being low-cost exports to north 

America and Europe. In China, metallized-paper demand 

for labels and cigarette packaging is strong. In films, 

China is focused on metallized polypropylene (PP) – 

particularly cast polypropylene. India has the highest 

concentration of metallized polyester (PET) of any market, 

but investment in metallized oriented polypropylene 

(OPP) is growing. 

In Europe, metallized paper volumes are falling – 

particularly in tobacco packaging – in response to 

legislative pressures, and for wet-glue beer labels, due 

to lower-cost requirements, competition from pressuresensitive 

labels and reduced beer consumption. Barrier 

packaging for foods remains the key market for vacuumcoated 

products – primarily PP films, but with PET 

showing stronger growth. There is significant competition 

from imports — metallized paper giftwrap and metallized 

PET and OPP — from lower-cost production areas. 

north America is also seeing metallized-paper volumes 

decline. Legislative environmental pressure to substitute 

aluminium-foil laminates with metallized-paper structures 

is not, as in Europe, a major change driver. Here too, lowcost 

imports are impacting domestic production, which 

is experiencing marked consolidation. In films, biaxially 

oriented polypropylene (BOPP) dominates, particularly for 

flexible, extrusion laminations for snack-food packaging. 

South America is developing quickly in vacuum-coated 

materials production and use. Demand for metallized 

papers is increasing annually at 20 percent in Brazil, 

focused on the beer market. Overall, demand for 

metallized-label papers outstrips local capacity and is 

supplemented by imported base metallized papers/ 

finished printed labels from north America and Europe. 

In vacuum-coated products, metallized OPP has a 

majority share, around 84 percent, growing annually at 

3-5 percent. Indigenous South American manufacturers’ 

heavy investment in film production and downstream 

metallizing has made them major exporters of base and 

metallized film – with north America a special focus. 

Metallized OPP is widely used in flexible packaging and 

in wraparound labels for beers. Metallized PET usage will, 

however, grow considerably in the near term for barrier 

laminates for flexible packaging. 

Focusing on market characteristics by substrate, most of 

today’s global volumes — 78 percent — are in vacuumcoated 

films. Metallized PP dominates. Metallized-PET 

usage is growing strongly in Asia. PET usage in north 

America and Europe is slowing, but early recovery is 

expected. Metallized polyvinyl chloride films are widely 

used for decorative end-uses. Other vacuum-coated 

films include polyamides, cellulose acetates, regenerated 

cellulose films and polyimides. 

In vacuum-coated papers and boards, metallized-label 

papers — stalwarts of the north American and European 

beer markets — have suffered significant reversal. 

Metallized-paper packaging also is declining in line with 

falling demand in the tobacco sector and as the functional 

benefits of films take the lead in flexible packaging. 

Transfer-metallized boards remain a successful niche 

product. Metallized-paper and paperboard laminates offer 

better environmental credentials than metallized film/ 

board or aluminium-foil/board laminates. 

Vacuum-coated and metallized products — particularly 

films — will continue to thrive, especially in the packaging 

market. They offer real opportunities for innovation, both 

functionally and aesthetically. n

Release Liners 

Worldwide, release-liner market growth in 2011 

averaged 6-8 percent, but every region was different. 

An estimated 63.6 percent of the world’s release-liner 

markets represent the developed, mature geographic 

markets of north America (31.9 percent) and Europe 

(31.7 percent). Almost 29 percent of release-liner sales 

are in Asia, growing at 10 percent per annum. South 

America — another high-growth market with attractive 

future prospects — currently has a 4.6 percent share of 

the world market. Asia and South America will continue 

to grow at a higher rate than north America and Europe, 

with Asia soon being larger than developed geographies. 

Continuing high raw-material costs, margin pressure and 

structural change are prime issues for the release-liner 

value chain. The market also has been characterized 

recently by ongoing material- and chemical-supply 

shortages, rationalization and downsizing and converter 

consolidation. 

An estimated 41.3 percent of the world’s release-liner 

market is represented by direct coated (SCK or glassine) 

substrates, with 15.4, 17.0, 12.0 and 14.3 percent 

respectively represented by clay-coated, polyolefincoated, 

other papers and film substrates. Growth in SCK 

and glassine liner substrates is being driven primarily by 

the label segment, the largest release-liner application 

market, representing 51.5 percent of global liner usage. 

Film liners make up 14.3 percent of the worldwide market 

today. Clay- and polyolefin-coated liners (particularly in 

graphic arts applications) continue to penetrate specific 

markets where performance characteristics support their 

choice. 

There has been significant release-base downgauging 

of both paper and films, particularly in labelstock 

applications, driven both by the need for manufacturing 

economies and environmental, waste-reduction and 

recycling issues. The increasing global impact of the 

REACH legislation and the continuing lack of alternatives 

to platinum as a silicone-coating catalyst are topics of 

high interest. 

For pressure-sensitive labelstock applications, film liner’s 

share has grown considerably to around 20 percent today 

– primarily with PET as the substrate. 

Pressure-sensitive tapes are the second-largest releaseliner 

application segment, accounting for one-eighth of the 

total world market. Industrial applications such as building 

and construction, HVAC, film casting, envelopes, etc., 


suffered as a result of the economic downturn – in both 

the markets for pressure-sensitive and process liners. 

The medical, hygiene and wound-care markets are 

buoyant worldwide, but Asia outpaces other world regions 

with medical applications alone expanding by 20-25 

percent per annum. These segments favor film, and there 

is increasing use of film liners and carriers in the global 

ethical and OTC wound-care market. Stoma care, surgical 

incision films and drapes, electrode terminals and related 

medical applications also are strong global liner markets, 

as well as the hygiene market in developing economies, 

where the use of disposable diapers, feminine hygiene 

and adult-incontinence products increases. 

For pressure-sensitive graphic arts applications, paperbased 

liners – mostly polyolefin-coated – continue to 

account for the bulk of this substrate’s usage. 

Release-liner waste management in the pressuresensitive 

label field is a hot issue now and will be in the 

future, although there is growing evidence of recycling 

schemes in north America and Europe involving collection 

and recycling of liner waste. While film liner must be 

sorted by polyolefin type for recycling, it is easy to handle 

in industrial waste-recycling processes and needs no prior 

treatment. “Clean” film-liner waste is commanding high 

prices and can represent a positive revenue stream for 

converters. Papers have been claimed to be the natural 

answer to sustainability issues in packaging, but release 

paper recycling is currently underutilized. 

Finally, there is increasing interest in linerless labels, 

especially for food packaging, weigh-scale and industrial 

barcode-labeling applications where label shape 

limitations are not an important factor. n

Photovoltaics 

For the solar industry, which has enjoyed compound 

annual growth of 60 percent from 2005 through 2012, 

this year presents a dichotomy of challenges for 

manufacturers of photovoltaic (PV) technologies, along 

with opportunities for system investors in terms of low 

hardware costs. Photovoltaic module availability is 

allowing for high margins and thus flexibility to maneuver 

strategically among all demand-side participants from 

small residential installers to investors in multi-megawatt 

installations. Meanwhile, manufacturers of photovoltaic 

technology, including converters of thin-film materials, 

face negative margins along with a real possibility of 

failure for some.

FiGuRe 1. Global PV Supply and Demand for 2011 

Over the past six years, the global photovoltaic industry 

grew steadily from 1.4 gigawatts (GWP) in 2005 to 7.9 

GWP in 2009, before skyrocketing to 17.4 GWP in 2010 

and 23.1 GWP last year. It is just this success that also 

has led to the current correction period in the PV industry. 

In 2012, the industry faces a situation of high levels of 

inventory held by manufacturers (supply) and installers/ 

system integrators (demand). It also faces a high level 

of manufacturing capacity. This situation, along with 

decreasing incentive rates, is holding prices down at 

artificially and unsustainably low levels. 

Germany’s feed-in tariff (FiT) incentive model, which 

initially was analogous to a 20-year, highly-profitable 

annuity, ignited strong growth for photovoltaic systems, 

driving demand from the megawatt range in 2003 to multigigawatt 

levels. In 2004, strong demand coincided with 

a constraint of polysilicon — the PV industry’s primary 

raw material. During the 2004-07 years, average prices 

for modules increased significantly, driven primarily by 

strong demand and to a lesser degree by the polysilicon 

shortage. In 2009, manufacturers from China, and to 

some degree Taiwan, began aggressively pricing for

to Europe. Escalating and expensive demand for 

photovoltaic systems in Europe led to significant changes 

to FiT programs and by 2011, as previously stated, high 

levels of inventory, high capacity and decreasing FiT rates 

began to hold prices at artificially low levels.

As of now, the global photovoltaic 

industry faces a significant supply/ 

demand imbalance — 57 percent 

of supply (primarily crystalline- 

Silicon) comes from the China/ 

Taiwan region, while 65 percent 

of the finished technology goes 

to Europe (see Figure 1). Unlike 

other markets, such as those 

being developed by China and the 

US, these markets are hampered 

by no/or low incentives and a 

struggling manufacturing sector 

operating with negative margins. 

In summary, the worldwide 

solar industry is entering a 

correction period that may last for the next two years. 

The industry has historically accelerated learning in 

terms of lowering manufacturing costs and increasing 

technology conversion efficiencies, along with developing 

innovative business models. These improvements, along 

with creating new low-incentive markets, will be crucial 

when the industry emerges from its correction in 2015. 

Moreover, though the industry may need to accept slower 

annual growth that will result from this low-incentive 

environment, this is the hallmark of a maturing industry. n

thin-Film Batteries 

Lithium-ion batteries and ultracapacitors are used 

commonly in cellphones, laptops and consumer 

electronics and also are becoming more prevalent in 

electrified-drive vehicles and stationary renewable-energy 

generation storage applications. Projections for electrified 

vehicles alone predict a market size close to US$15 billion 

within five years and stationary applications are expected 

to grow by 100-fold within 10 years. As mundane and 

boxy as large-format battery and ultracapacitors systems 

may seem from the outside, at their base lie a large 

amount of sophisticated and very precisely manufactured 

thin films made via roll-to-roll web-converting processes. 

Two thin-film opposite polarity electrodes and a thinfilm 

separator make up each Lithium-ion battery or 

ultracapacitor. The negative electrode – or Anode – is 

comprised of a copper foil in the 10-20 micron range, 

which is double-side solution coated in a stripe- or 

skip-coat pattern. The Cathode’s (positive electrode) 

substrate is an aluminum foil in the 15-20 micron range. 

The electrochemical components added to either side of 

both electrodes can range from 20-100 microns per side. 

The Separator, a polymeric single or multilayer porous 

material, typically from 15-25 microns thick, keeps the 

two electrodes from direct contact and avoids electrical 

shorts. These three components are then assembled and 

packaged and, with the addition of a liquid electrolyte, 

form a base cell from which small or large battery systems 

can then be arranged. 

Both Anode and Cathode films are typically manufactured 

via identical processes. Active chemical components 

are combined with a solvent and mixed in batches for 

several hours. next, the slurry is coated onto both sides 

of the current collecting foil through a slot-die and then 

run through a convection dryer where the solvent is 

evaporated and the solid components are baked onto 

the foil. Coating lines employed are typically capable of 

handling web widths of 500 mm to sometimes over 1 

meter and are equipped with turret unwinds/rewinds and 

dryers in excess of 20 meters long. The coated master 

rolls are then moved to a separate machine and slit to 

widths to suit the intended application and cell design. To 

reduce coating porosity and obtain an evenly coated film 

thickness, the slit electrodes are run through a high-load 

calendering press, usually two-high, with large-diameter 

heated steel-roll machines that are heated to aid in 

achieving the required compression and profile uniformity 

while inducing minimal stress to the web. The Separator 

film can be produced via dry-extrusion and stretched or 

wet-cast processed. 

The three films (Anode, Cathode and Separator) are then 

assembled or laminated using a high-speed winding or 

stacking process to make either cylindrical or prismaticshaped 

cells. All manufacturing processes to this stage 

handle webs in roll-to-roll processes common to those 

found in many converting industries. 

As in any industry, improving product performance and/or 

decreasing manufacturing cost are essential to remaining 

competitive. To this end comes the current objective 

of minimizing or even eliminating solvent use. For the 

future, there is great interest in moving to a continuous, 

solventless mixing and extrusion-coating process in 

making the electrodes. Solvent handling and recovery, 

dryer capital and operating costs, as well as floor space 

are large cost drivers in a thin-film battery-manufacturing 

operation, thus the justification for current development 

activities. Also, a development currently being worked on 

is getting around solution or extrusion coating altogether 

by way of vapor deposition. Vapor deposition of some 

or conceivably all of the aluminum and copper metals, 

Anode, Cathode, Separator and even the electrolyte 

layers, produce more intimately bonded layers, thus 

improving product performance resulting in a true solidstate, 

large-format battery. n

extrusion Laminating 

& Film Making 

The basic extrusion laminating and coating technologies 

as we know them today began in earnest after the end 

of WWII and have continued to grow in capability and 

complexity in the years since. In the mid- to late-1980s, 

laminating capability for snack packaging with high bond 

strength was related to a basic capability of 100 mpm 

(330 fpm) speed with an 18-cm (7-in.) melt drop using 

LDPE at about 315 deg C (600 deg F). Today, you can 

purchase machines, which operate at high speed and 

material efficiencies while depositing multilayer coatings 

of five or more layers, if desired, to add improved barrier, 

optical or physical properties. The same improvements 

also are available for film manufacture ranging from cast, 

blown and oriented films for use with or to compete with 

the extrusion coater and extrusion laminator. In many 

cases, you are limited only by your imagination and 

pocketbook. 

The sources of the dramatic improvements in capability 

have been both evolutionary and revolutionary, and the 

knowledge gained about what makes a functional product 

is still controlling the final properties and attributes of the 

products made today. Primary areas of advancement 

have been in new resins, die design and coextrusion 

technologies, digital drives and the integration of multiple 

components and improved control methods. This has 

allowed existing product designs to be improved in both 

quality and productivity. At the same time, advances in 

basic machine components — such as screw designs 

and the extruder, die and coextrusion capabilities 

— all combine together to allow further productivity 

improvements and capabilities not possible from a single 

improvement. 

The availability of a widening range of new copolymers, 

tie resins, barrier and reinvented “old” resins has been 

driven by advances in polymerization research and 

catalyst technologies. These material advances have 

made the use of coextrusion widespread and extremely 


effective in product-property enhancements. Three-layer 

extrusion coatings and laminating layers using various 

copolymer-skin resins now allow the uncoupling of line 

speed and bond-strength development by reducing the 

impact of melt oxidation on bonding. Better and new 

surface-oxidation control of the melt is still possible in 

the future and is constantly being reinvented to improve 

bonding and, in combination with coextrusion, should 

allow further improvements in productivity down the road. 

The addition of barrier properties to the extrusion coating 

or laminating layer has kept pace with comparable 

advances in film extrusion. Five-layer barrier coatings 

and lamination layers are common, and nine- and higherlayer 

counts in packaging films readily are available 

from suppliers. new micro- or nano-layer coextrusion 

capabilities are now generally available and, combined 

with resin availability, will make significant and important 

improvements in film physical properties. The new 

coextrusion capabilities of splitting barrier-polymer layers 

permit further barrier improvements over single layers of 

the barrier polymers. Edge encapsulation (side-by-side 

coextrusion) also has improved scrap utilization and 

reduced neck-in for both film and extrusion coating. 

Continued growth and improvement in all of these areas 

should fuel further growth and advancements in product 

quality, performance and completion between film and 

lamination technologies and should extend these products 

into the new and evolving technologies we use in our 

everyday lives, from packaging and window films to solar 

cells and OLED TV screens. n

vacuum Deposition 

Considering the general economic gloom, I look back 

over the last 12 months and am excited about the 

developments that entered the roll-to-roll, vacuumdeposition 

marketplace which, I am sure, will provide and 

improve products for many years to come. 

In metallizing, it has been tough but, even so, the global 

consumption of metallized film has increased. Similar to 

recent years, India, China, South America and Russia 

are higher-growth regions, with north America and 

Europe being static or very low growth. Even in areas 

with sluggish markets, there are sectors of larger growth. 

The biggest of these uses metallizers for the production 

of transparent barrier films. The perceived wisdom was 

that adding oxygen to aluminum metallizers would create 

problems, and it was impossible to produce transparent 

aluminum oxide in this way. Years ago, one company 

quietly challenged this wisdom, modified a metallizer 

and, some years ago, began producing transparent 

barrier material. The big change has been that a couple 

of machine suppliers have developed systems with a 

turnkey process to produce transparent aluminium-oxide 

barrier coatings. This year saw the first of these systems 

delivering material into the market. 

Using an in-vacuum polymer-deposition process, coating 

onto the polymer before or after the metallization or both 

has gained renewed interest. Previously, the only way of 

depositing the polymer was by feeding monomer in from 

outside the vacuum system, vaporizing the monomer, 

condensing the vapor on the substrate and curing it. 

The change this year was the news that one company 

simplified the deposition using in-vacuum printing capable 

of depositing polymers either pre- or post-deposition of 

the aluminum. 


Both of these process developments look to offer plenty 

of potential for opening up new markets in the future, 

as they both appear to be cost-competitive technology 

improvements. 

Looking further to the future is the use of atomic layer 

deposition for the production of barrier coatings. This 

technology is well understood for coating discrete 

substrates, and so the chemistry and process is well 

developed. Laboratory-scale roll-to-roll systems have 

been built with a variety of technological solutions. I would 

expect that over the next year these will yield results that 

will guide someone to produce a specification for a larger 

pilot-production system to be built within the next two 

years. 

Sputtering or the high added-value coating markets over 

the year have appeared somewhat more erratic. What 

hit the headlines was the failure of some of the thin-film 

photovoltaic companies. The PV market is bound to be 

volatile as it is growing so rapidly during a time of global 

economic instability. Governments starting and stopping 

feed-in tariffs have made this market even less stable. 

What it has not changed is the underlying trend that the 

PV market continues to grow rapidly. The result has been 

that companies that planned for smooth growth have had 

to adapt their strategy. Thus expansion is delayed for a 

time to react to the dip in growth. This is only a delay, and 

substantial growth will return and continue for many years 

to come. n

Web coating 

The web-coating process produces a wide variety of 

essential products by adding a functional layer(s) to a 

substrate. While originally developed to prepare printed 

matter by Johann Gutenberg in 1440, it has continued to 

be a dynamic, continually growing process that now helps 

convert many traditional and new products. It is widely 

used to improve quality and costs for existing goods, 

food packaging, adhesive tapes and window film, as well 

as new product concepts, RFID, high-energy lithium-ion 

batteries, fuel cells, solar cells and photovoltaic panels 

because it is a versatile, high-productivity, high-quality, 

low-cost process. 

Over the past decade, there have been significant 

advances in the application of new technology to 

web coating. Examples include the development and 

increased use of the pre-metered slot-die process; the 

introduction of in-line instruments to control quality, 

improve productivity and reduce costs; and the use of 

surface-treatment technologies such as flame, electrical 

discharge and plasma to modify substrate properties. All 

of these developments help improve adhesion, product 

performance and coating quality. 

In the next decade, there will be several technology 

trends. The application of the slot-die coater will increase 

and emerge as the most widely used coating method; 

however, there is no one coating method that can meet all 

needs. As a result, converters will need the ability to use 

multiple coating methods. Cartridge coaters will make this 

need practical by reducing changeover time from hours to 

minutes. There will be advances in coating technology for 

coating uniformly thin layers and for solventless-coating 

methods. 

Basic drying technologies such as impingement air and 

electromagnetic radiation will continue to be the preferred 

methods of providing heat to dry or cure coated film. 

Technology advances will be seen in improved designs, 

heat recycling and computer-based process-control 

optimization, which together will significantly reduce dryer 

energy costs. 

Use of in-line technologies to evaluate surface quality of 

the entire substrate and to measure and control coating 

weight will accelerate. Application of “cloud computing,” in 

which the computers and software to operate instruments 

and analyze data is done centrally over the Internet, will 

significantly reduce costs by not requiring computers and 

support for each instrument. Further, instrument costs 

will decrease, their capability will improve and they will 

be much easier to use. These technologies will be a 

necessity for all converters, if they want to manufacture a 

quality and cost-effective product. 

The availability of many of these new technologies will 

result in the upgrading of existing coaters being a more 

cost-effective route to improving quality and productivity. 

Because the coating process is modular, it is relatively 

easy to replace rate- and quality-deficient modules (i.e.: 

dryer heating and ventilation, coating method and range 

drive). With a proliferation of less-expensive alternate 

energy sources (solar cells, high-efficiency wind turbines), 

their use in the converting industry will increase. 

The end-product mix will shift from a few large-volume 

products (photographic films) to many low-volume, 

higher-value products. As a result, startup losses will be 

much more significant than with large-volume products. 

Converters will demand new technologies to reduce these 

losses. n

slitting & Winding 

Since the start of the Industrial Revolution in the mid-19th 

Century, European and American manufacturers have 

sought methods and tools that would make production 

processes more efficient, profitable and safer. This goal of 

process improvement persists today within our paper and 

converting industries. Equipment suppliers continue to 

develop new technologies for the advancement of flexibleweb 

management and control. 

Some of the more recent innovative flexible-web 

technologies include improved web tension control, 

winding procedures and slitting tools. Web tensionsensing 

load cells now have very stable, fast and 

sensitive digital amplifiers. Direct web-tension 

communication to winder drives improves efficiency and 

potentially offers production data for roll and process 

analysis. 

Converters are showing increasing interest in non-stop 

web cut-and-transfer unwinds and rewinds. Combined 

with automatic slitter-positioning systems, the ability 

to run continuously reduces downtime and increases 

productivity dramatically. This process efficiency 

throughput can be improved only with faster web 

speeds. Referencing speed, paper winding and slitting 

at production web speeds in excess of 9,000 fpm exist 

today. We can expect more interest in this capability in 

the future as well. 

Automatic slitter-positioning systems can relocate “onthe-fly,” 

maintaining their slitting action while changing 

setup width locations. Individual slit-width correction can 

be made automatically or manually via touchscreen. 

These positioning systems can also react to tension 

control, thickness gauge, edge guiding or camera signals 

automatically when there’s an indication of potential loss 

of roll quality. 

Additionally, automatic slitter-positioning systems can 

relocate shear-slitting sets, or crush and razor holders 

simultaneously within 4-10 seconds. When relocating a 

large number of holders, significant production time can 

be saved compared to slower “pick and place” automatic 

positioning systems. 


Wrapping films over a brush roller rather than a grooved 

and hardened-steel roll greatly reduces setup time and 

prevents blade damage and potential loss of cut-edge 

quality. 

Teflon-coated, lubricated, heated or chilled knives help 

reduce gummy buildup on adhesive web materials, 

preventing scrap rolls. 

Crush-cutting anvil rolls that slowly oscillate in the crossmachine 

direction increase crush-knife life tremendously, 

even on fiberglass-mat products. Knives can last months 

instead of weeks, which greatly extends time between 

anvil resurfacing. 

Shear knifeholders with dual air-pressure supplies have 

had a major impact on extending knife life and boosting 

roll-edge quality. Separate high-pressure Overlap stroke 

and low-pressure knife-contact stroke assure low male 

and female side-load force. 

Computer-controlled, servomotor-driven electronic shear 

knifeholders have eliminated operator Overlap setup 

error, improved safety and provided consistency to male 

and female knife-contact force. 

Additionally, computer control and electronic 

communication between flexible-web process equipment 

should advance use of Supervisory Control and Data 

Acquisition Systems (S.C.A.D.A.). 

These are just a few examples of the more recent 

converting-process improvements implemented over 

the past 150 years. The purpose remains the same. 

We continue to seek better ways to improve efficiency, 

profitability and safety. The more things change, the more 

they stay the same. n

Web Handling 

The surest method to predict the near future is to 

extrapolate from decade-long trends. So what can we 

expect in web handling? 

Material costs will continue to rise, perhaps steeply, 

as might be the case for petroleum-based products. 

Expected responses would include efforts in waste 

reduction, material substitution and decreasing 

thicknesses, all of which have profound web-handling 

effects. For example, wrinkling is often in the top three 

causes of waste in a plant and any material changes 

can risk more wrinkling. Among the most challenging of 

product-design changes is to merely reduce thickness. 

Finally, buying cheaper materials to save money can be 

tempting but may have unintended consequences such 

as increased wrinkling caused by bagginess. 

Labor costs will continue to be significant. The expected 

responses would be more automation, such as better 

HMIs, grade setups stored in PLC menus, roll handling 

and so on. We would hope that process engineers will do 

their web-handling homework before setting up recipes 

for things like the TnTs (Tension, nip and Temperature) 

to optimize each of their grades. note that some web 

machines today, such as paper machines and coater/ 

laminators, have more buttons and dials than a small jet 

aircraft. The challenge for management is finding relevant 

training so that operators can fly rather than crash. 

We will continue to see a consolidation of machine 

builders. This is, perhaps, not totally a bad thing. Consider 

that a decade ago you could find hundreds of suppliers 

who claimed to be able to build a winder and scores that 

also tried their hand with coaters. Some machine builders 

are currently doing quite well in terms of orders, though 

their expertise is spread thinner than I’ve seen in my 

lifetime. 

We can expect ever-changing proportions of materials. 

Commodity grades, especially printing grades of paper, 

are doing poorly, and tablet computers will shut down 

even more paper machines and printing presses. 

Commodity packaging materials were always subject to 

the economy and are now competing with more complex 

constructions that were not possible a decade ago. On 

the other hand, many high-tech materials, such as solar 

cells, electronics, environmental and medical products, 

are moving from sheet to web handling to get economies 

of scale. 

There are two trends in information — one side negative 

and the other positive. On the downside, we are seeing 

a near total shutdown of all corporate R&D except for 

the occasional product development. Web-handling R&D 

is confined to a few dwindling and scattered academic 

programs. Also, trade magazines and, to a lesser extent, 

trade organizations are being shuttered. On the upside, 

Internet-based fare is growing but still trying to find its 

stride — particularly monetization. 

All of these trends have a hidden but connecting factor 

— the ever-present need for web-handling training. While 

something like 15,000 people have attended a formal 

web-handling short course, there is no sign of reaching 

saturation. Indeed, the training rate is level or even rising. 

There is, however, a shift of venue. Due to the very high 

costs of travel, attendance at public short courses has 

leveled. Conversely, in-house training is increasing. 

Extrapolating further we might expect a huge pent-up 

demand for training-on-demand — a subject in which I am 

currently immersed. n
