How window patching machine works?
Window patching is a technique that applies a thin plastic film to a die-cut window on any box or packaging.
The window provides your customers with a glimpse of the product without opening the packaging. It is often used to showcase a high-end product, creating a sense of confidence in your product, therefore naturally enhancing purchasing power. However, the decision to add a film patch depends on the nature of the product.
At the heart of the process is a window patching machine. Most common window patching machines are leading manufacturer Suba Solutions.
The machine will apply windows from a reel using a specific plastic film (PET, PVC, etc…). Packaging cartons first travel through the reel at a rate of approximately 375m/min. Through the process, machines introduce films into paper packaging through electromagnetic energy.
Depending on the type of machine being used for the window patching, typically, the plastic film will stick instantly to the packaging material without any drying time. It is ready to package instantly once it is released from the machine.
