Key Features

Festooning is the solution for products with the following characteristics:

  • Narrow and/or thick
  • Highly elastic
  • Three-dimensional structures
  • Sensitive against winding compression
  • Little running time on the converting line
  • Bulky, resulting in high storage and shipping cost
  • Slippery, hard to wind up

The principle Key Features of the Kortec Festooning Technology are

  • Modular concepts, which allow the purchase of a festooner line in a size which matches the required capacity
  • Large operation envelope - in terms of width, product type, etc.
  • Low manpower requirements
  • Switch between boxes and compressed film packs
  • Roll to roll automated butt splicing - means less operating errors
  • Low average number of splices
  • Large pack dimentions resulting in a high running time per pack
  • Fast and easy product change-over
  • Compression packaging - festooned stacks can be compressed and shrink wrapped, if required
  • Cost reduction at the customers converting line (man power, splices, waste,...)
  • Easy de-festooning - no special equipment required
  • An added value process, for example the possibility of adding an in-line lamination
