Corona effect surface treatment machine BottleTEC

The importance of making the final packaging for a product look professional is an increasing trend at many bottle manufacturers. Manufacturers are focused on branding more than ever. Bottle manufactures do not want their labels to fall off the bottle or have logos printed poorly resulting in the product looking low end or poorly made. This can happen because the surface of the bottle has not been surface treated. When bottle makers face label, coating and ink adhesion challenges corona surface treaters are often used to increase the adhesive strength. Bottle adhesion problems occur because many of the container materials used in the packaging are chemically inert. Bottle coating ensures that labels are not peeled off until complete destruction of the label occurs. Surface treatment activates surfaces to create bonding sites to enable successful adhesion. In simple terms, Surface Treatment (etching) is the preparation of a plastic surface to allow maximum adhesion between the plastic and other materials such as glue, inks, or coatings. Without this step in the production process the imprinted ink will run off and certain types of labels won’t stick.
