In the fast-moving world of flexible packaging, where innovation, speed, and quality dictate success, surface treatment is more than a technical requirement — it's a critical competitive edge. And when it comes to effective, consistent, and reliable surface treatment, Pillar Technologies’ corona treaters are the name trusted by industry leaders around the globe.
The Flexible Packaging Challenge: Adhesion is Everything
Today’s packaging must do it all — be lightweight, durable, printable, sealable, and recyclable. But none of that matters if coatings, inks, and adhesives can’t adhere properly. That’s where corona treatment comes in.
Corona treatment modifies the surface energy of films, foils, and laminates, allowing inks and coatings to bond correctly. But not all corona treating systems are created equal. In high-volume, high-precision environments, manufacturers rely on the most advanced and dependable systems.
