■ Our solution

Aisa’s Decoplas™ 120 line
 

Decoplas™ is a unique technology which combines standard tube extrusion with innovative labelling decoration.

We produce the tube body with a label already decorated by a flat-printing process, and welded onto the plastic extruded sleeve. The thin polyethylene-based label can have a PET or OPP film, with or without barriers, on the surface. Labels are metallised, transparent or white before printing. The tube bounceback can be adjusted by selecting different extrusion material densities.

By moving the decoration out of the extrusion tube line Decoplas™ offers improved flexibility and high productivity.
