Metallized PET Film Roll Splice Handling

Metallized PET Film roll splices need a defined handling plan before printing or lamination. An unexpected splice can create a tension shock, damage the metallized surface or remain in material intended for finished pouches.

A Metallized Film Supplier needs the roll identification, splice location, web width and converter requirements. The customer should also define whether a splice may pass through the line or must be removed.

Record the Splice Construction

Identify tape type, overlap or butt design, face orientation and marking method. Confirm that the tape does not contact or contaminate the functional surface.

Control the Line Transition

Set the speed and tension procedure for approaching the splice. Inspect nearby web for wrinkles, scratches, coating transfer or registration movement.

Trace the Converted Material

Quarantine the affected section and verify removal before pouch making. Send Cailong the roll data, splice images, line settings and defect samples.
