If not applied in the correct coat weight, whether too light or too heavy, the lamination bonding will fail, causing the overlay to bubble, blister or otherwise delaminate from the base material, a scenario that worsens as the problematic packaging travels farther down the distribution chain.
“The ultimate dilemma created by delaminated packaging is when it reaches the store shelf, which is a terrible situation for the product manufacturer and packaging supplier and could easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars,” says Ray Mayes, a packaging controls specialist whose firm, Cereal City Electric (Battle Creek, MI), services the Midwestern food industry.
