Professional Converter
Noupack has sufficient capacity to meet the demands of converting production.
What Is Converting?
Material Transformation: Converting can mean altering raw materials into usable products. For example, converting rolls of flexible packaging film into bags or pouches that can hold food or other items.
Printing and Finishing: In the printing industry, converting includes processes such as printing, laminating, coating, and die-cutting. These processes enhance the functionality and appearance of printed materials.
Flexible Packaging: In flexible packaging, converting involves taking base materials (like BOPP or CPP films) and transforming them into finished products that meet specific requirements for food safety, durability, and shelf life.
Technical Processes: Converting can also refer to technical processes like extrusion, where materials are melted and formed into specific shapes or films.
Converting Process
The converting process in the flexible packaging industry involves several key steps that transform raw materials into finished packaging products. Here are the main steps involved:
- Design Phase
- Cylinder Or Flexo Plate
- Lamination & Coating
- Printing
- Slitting and Rewinding
- Bag and Pouch Making
- Filling
- Sealing
- Finishing
Key Factors That Impact The Quality Of Converted Packaging Materials
1, Material Selection:The type of material used (e.g., BOPP, CPP, PET, nylon, aluminum foil) significantly affects the durability, barrier properties, and overall performance of the packaging. Each material has unique characteristics that determine its suitability for different products and environments.
2, Durability:The ability of the packaging to withstand physical stress during handling, transportation, and storage is crucial. Packaging must be robust enough to protect the contents from damage while maintaining its integrity.
3, Barrier Properties:Effective barrier properties against moisture, oxygen, light, and contaminants are essential for preserving product quality. For instance, materials like EVOH provide excellent oxygen barrier capabilities, making them suitable for food packaging.
4, Seal Integrity:The quality of seals in flexible packaging directly impacts its ability to protect contents from external factors. Proper sealing techniques and materials ensure that the package remains airtight and tamper-proof.

Common Materials Used in Composite Packaging and Properties
Aluminum Foil
Aluminum foil offers excellent barrier properties, effectively preventing moisture, oxygen, and light from penetrating, which helps maintain food quality and freshness. It is lightweight, easy to process, and recyclable, making it suitable for various food packaging applications.
Nylon (Polyamide)
Nylon possesses good mechanical strength and abrasion resistance, along with high barrier performance. It is suitable for food packaging that requires resistance to high temperatures and freezing, effectively extending the shelf life of products.
Polyester (PET)
Polyester materials have high transparency and excellent optical properties along with good barrier performance. They are commonly used in beverage bottles and other packaging, providing resistance against moisture and oxygen ingress.
Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer (EVOH)
BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene)
CPP (Cast Polypropylene)
Kraft Paper
Polyethylene (PE)
Bioplastics
