            1

            Web unwinding

            Large rolls of facestock and liner materials (paper- or film-based) are placed on individual unwinding systems.
            2

            Printing

            The substrate goes through one or multiple flexo printing stations. Alternatively, an unsupported pre-printed face material may also be used, eliminating the printing step.
            3

            Silicone coating

            A UV-curable silicone release coating is applied on the liner.
            4

            Adhesive coating and laminating

            Pressure-sensitive adhesive (hotmelt, UV-curable hotmelt, water-based) is applied on the liner, on top of the silicone layer. Then, both webs are joined during the laminating process.
            5

            Die cutting

            Label material is cut to the desired shape and size and waste matrix is removed.
            6

            Slitting

            The roll is slitted into narrower rolls. If needed, other converting operations can be integrated in-line.
            7

            Finished product

            Rolls of finished labels are market-ready.

            When we purchased our Cohesio 3 years ago, we were pleasantly surprised by ETI's approach. Communication is always very smooth and they ensure that our machine has a very high uptime. We love that they are an honest, straightforward company where family values are really important. And they keep their promises, so this was a perfect match for Label Products.

            We began discussions with ETI as we tried to improve a specific technology within our business, and as we talked with their team it became evident they definitely were subject matter experts in this field. ETI has become a technology partner for us. We depend on the process expertise that ETI provided during the integration to further enhance the creation of our highly-specialized products. With any new process there is a learning curve, which was also the case here. We were delighted with the post-order support from the ETI team.
