To solve this issue, the converter
required immediate action from the sheet producer.
The sheet producer began experimenting with material
changes in-house, but struggled to achieve consistency
of release.
THE IMPACT
While the OnCap Denesting additive solution was
developed initially to satisfy the needs of the converter,
it was so effective that the sheet producer has plans to
incorporate this technology into its entire portfolio of
packaging solutions.
