2 Foil Materials

This foil material is a reinforced structure with excellent properties for coffee bag packages. The foil structure is PET12/PA15/LDPE80, with a graphic as below.

Let’s first get a further understanding on each substrate layer material.

PET12, is one of the most commonly used printing substrates in flexible packaging pouches. With great optical clarity, high gloss, good chemical resistance, stable mechanical strength, excellent dimensional stability, and great printability, it can present the customer artwork print in great quality, and also provide great mechanical strength to the final package.

BOPA stands for Biaxially Oriented Polyamide, which is also known as biaxially oriented nylon (short as NY) film. It’s a versatile and flexible material that’s made by biaxially stretching polyamide resins using a flat cast die process, three-layer co-extrusion method, and two-step tenter frame orientation.

BOPA film has many properties that make it useful for various applications, including packaging, consumer goods, and industrial uses:

• Barrier properties: BOPA film can act as a barrier against moisture and oxygen. It can also be used to package greasy or aggressive substances.
• Mechanical strength: BOPA film is flexible, has high tensile strength, and is resistant to impact and punctures.
• Other properties: BOPA film is also transparent, glossy, and can be printed on.

LDPE, means low-density polyethylene film, which is the most used inner sealing layer for coffee bags. LDPE is also lightweight, easy to fabricate, and has good chemical and impact resistance. LDPE is recyclable and reusable, making it a popular alternative to traditional plastic. LDPE is nontoxic, non-contaminating, and has a high degree of break resistance. Most importantly, LDPE membrane can be modified against the requirement of specific products, and finalize the package with great seal strength and protection. The thickness of LDPE membrane will be decided against particular application.

The final thickness for this foil laminate should be 120 microns, with a tolerance +-5%. and the toughness will be enough to present a good standing effect for finished bags.

You may read here on our company website to get a deeper understanding of PET12/PA15/LDPE Foil Laminate and see how it can help you to decide the ideal packages.

3 Properties and Quality Assurance

3.1 Exquisite print quality

The artwork is achieved in gravure printing on our rotogravure print press which can print up to maximum 10 colors. With advanced print techniques and print defects inspection system, we are now outputing fantastic print effects for the customers’ artwork.

You are advised to watch the video below to have a further understanding on the print quality of this 2000ml liquid laundry detergent bag.

In our manufacturing plant, we take serious measures to achieve high color fidelity and consistency for repeated printed orders, and here we are going to give a basic introduction.

a.  Color Analyzer

This color analyzer is one of the auxiliary tools in our system to achieve the highest standard for color fidelity. The eXact Advanced doesn’t just validate the color of CMYK and spot color inks, it can simultaneously measure four M modes to visualize the spectral reflectance of a substrate or ink, measure the concentration of a specific ink, and measure the difference of a substrate or ink over white and over black.

b. Pantone Color Code

Pantone color guide would be so helpful to locate a specific color for the pring service supplier and the customers, especially there is a large area printed in single Pantone color. For many Pantone colors, the accurateness may be influenced by the printer, paper substrate and environmental factors when it is printed onto physical photo paper. We will locate the Pantone Color Code with the customers in their artwork design before the order is put into produce.

c. Physical Printed On Photo Paper

The computer files such as JPG, PDF, PSD, AI etc can not be taken as the guide to determine the color in print produce, as they present the colors through electronic screening devices. And different electronic screens may be set in different parameters by the various manufacturers, which will inevitably interfere with the colore presentation. Artwork can only be a reliable guide when printed on physical substrate, with the most common photo paper applied.

3.2 Delicate Bag Making

The bag is achieved with delicate details, which can create a perfect impression for the consumers when they pass by the products, and cause them a purchase. Some customers do like to buy a product out of its gorgeous profile.

3.3 High Barrier Performance

As explained previously, this foil laminate is finalized with a layer of thin aluminum metal sheet, which is of the best barrier performance against oxygen and moisture vapor. Usually, the active ingredients and additives in the laundry detergent may lose their activity or rot due to oxidation, light, temperature, humidity, pollution and other factors, thus affecting the cleaning effect and service life. Therefore, it is very important to store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and near heat sources.

3.4 Fantastic Standup Effect

The bottom of this 2000ml liquid laundry detergent bag is much like a box for stability, and that will make the package well stand up on the goods shelf, good for branding and sale.

3.5 Great Mechanical Strength

We perform various inspections and tests to check the mechanical strength of the finished pouch, like drop tests, hard sudden strikes, anti-pressure tests

• Tensile Strength
• Sealing Strength
• Anti-puncture Strength
• Burst Impact Strength
• Anti-pressure Property

The above tests are performed against each order, on customer requirements, and you may check the exact values of this foil material PET12/PA15/LDPE in the Technical Date Sheet part of this post.

3.6 Beautiful spout design

Conducive to storage, spout closure is good, can effectively block air entry, delay the deterioration of laundry detergent, extend the shelf life of products. Fourth, both beautiful and practical, its exquisite design makes the overall packaging more modern, enhance the attractiveness of the product on the shelf.

4 Quality Control Measures

Serious quality control measures have been taken in our manufacturing plant, to ensure each order is finished meeting the requirements of particular customers. With more than ten years of working experience in this field, we finalize this QC manual standard, to make sure each order is produced following the correct procedure.

Here, please allow us to guide you further into our QC system.

4.1 Manufacturing Traceback

We apply a strict recording system to document the manufacturing details, such as environmental conditions, craftsmanship parameters, production facility conditions, etc, which allows us to trace back whenever there is a problem.

4.2 QC Test Report Against Each Order

There will be a QC test report issued against each order produced, with the core items evaluated in it.  It is highly appreciated by our customers.

You may read here to understand the QC test report of the packaging you need.

4.3 Print Inspection

In our manufacturing plant, the print inspection is always taken and done in a serious way, as we will never allow the customer artwork to be achieved in a way that deteriorate their business. On our gravure print press, there is in-line inspection system which can eliminate more than 98% of the defects in the printing process.

You may check how it works on our control panel.

 

There is also a supplementary off-line inspection equipment, to allow us to do the print inspection again whenever it seems necessary.

We are now producing bags against customer artwork, and we surely love to support the startup and market-testing period for our customers. We will accept a minimum order quantity of 10,000 bags printed against customer artwork design.

4.4 Airtight Property Test

The finished bag should be completely airtight, to get the products well-protected from oxygen and moisture in the environment. We perform the airtight property test against each order with the device as below.

In actual operation, we will pick up 1 bag every 1,000 pcs, and perform the test following the procedure in our QC manual.

4.5 Drop Test

Drop test should be considered as a very reliable way to check if the bag strength is enough to meet the various conditions, as it copies the way when the products falls off the good shelves, and the finished bag will suffer great sudden shock. In our daily QC work, We perform drop test against each order, of course, the standard for this drop test should be decided against customer needs.

Here, let’s take the same 2 liter stand-up bag of softener as an example.we are going to drop the filled fabric softener bag from 1.6m high, for 5 times.You are advised to watch the video below, for a further understanding.

After 6 drops for each bag, none of them breaks,  all are fine and dandy.

4.6 Anti-Pressure Test

Pressure-resistance test is another effective method to decide if the final package will serve as great protection for the products, especially liquid products, like household detergent liquids, and windshield washer fluids.

The leakage or breakage of the bag will surely be a disaster, either for the distributor or the manufacturer.  We will never expect this thing happens in our customer’s business.

Sometimes, for easier and fast operation, we may just get one person to stand on the well-sealed and inflated bag, to check if there is any burst of them.

4.7 Laboratory Tests

Laboratory tests are essential to keep us updated with the intrinsic properties of the foil materials which are not visible to the human eyes. It is crucial for gaining a thorough understanding of the data about the production of our bags. The craftsmanship can be improved bit by bit to pursue premium quality bags based on thorough analysis and application of these data. You may check more of these tests in the Technical Data Sheet part of this post.
