Rotogravure printing
High-definition reproduction with attention to colour matching, registration, fine text and detailed artwork.
Manufacturing capabilities
One production path from print to finished pouch.
Printing, lamination, slitting, inspection and pouch conversion aligned around the approved packaging requirement.
Integrated operations
Connected processes under one manufacturing programme.
Each stage has a direct effect on appearance, barrier, bond strength, seal behaviour and repeatability in commercial production.
Multi-layer lamination
Solventless and solvent-based lamination options for structures selected around product and barrier requirements.
Slitting and inspection
Slitting, rewinding and inspection operations supporting roll quality and downstream conversion requirements.
Pouch making
Conversion across stand-up, spout, shaped, three-side seal, centre seal and side-gusset formats.
Custom laminate structures
Structure development informed by contents, barrier targets, filling method, sealing and distribution conditions.
Packaging development
Technical discussion covering new formats, artwork, samples, performance needs and production planning.
Development process
Turn a packaging brief into a production specification.
The final structure and production approach depend on the specific application and agreed commercial specification.
Understand the application
Review contents, size, format, filling process, storage and distribution.
Align the structure
Consider barrier, layers, sealing behaviour, print and conversion requirements.
Review before scale
Confirm artwork, dimensions, sampling needs and approved production specifications.
Prepare for production
Move into planned commercial production with in-process quality checks.
Manufacturing equipment
Equipment supporting print, laminate, inspect and convert operations.
Representative equipment across the principal production stages at Addtech's manufacturing facility in Vapi.
01 / Print
Rotogravure printing
The 8+1-colour ELS rotogravure press supports controlled registration, colour reproduction and repeat runs.
02 / Laminate
Lamination
Solventless and solvent-based equipment supports multi-layer structures selected for the required performance.
03 / Finish
Slitting and rewinding
Slitting and rewinding equipment finishes laminate rolls for inspection and downstream conversion.
04 / Convert
Pouch conversion
Pouch-making equipment converts approved laminates into stand-up, spout, shaped and sealed formats.
Technical focus
Requirements considered beyond the visible pouch.
The package needs to align with the product and production environment, not only the visual brief.
Barrier
OTR and WVTR needs
Oxygen and moisture transmission requirements can inform structure selection where relevant to the application.
Seal
Integrity and containment
Seal behaviour is considered for liquids, gels, powders, granules and demanding chemical formulations.
Print
Colour and registration
Artwork reproduction, brand colours, fine text and registration are addressed during print planning.
