Converting and printing

Rewinding and slitting rolls are available on-site. Rolls are rewound to make composite rolls of the various trial points or slit down to narrower rolls to fit a variety of converting operations. The 1 m width of the coater produces rolls that will fit many commercial presses. Rotogravure and flexographic printing presses are available on-site. WMU can also arrange local resources for sheeting or corrugating. The corrugator can take the surface-treated liner and/or medium off the WMU coater and produce a box. A finished corrugated box is ideal for further testing or providing sample products for your customers.
