It enables the printing of high definition graphics that can withstand the moisture, heat and pressure of the retort process which is used to ensure the extended shelf life and safety of filling goods. VarioLam AB LEC provides very high bond strengths on a wide range of film structures. It is universal for every lamination structure imaginable and therefore strongly supports a Lean Production, Continuous Improvement Process (CIP), as well as an enhanced Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE).
