Today, there is a growing market for encapsulated products as consumers are wary of the persistent pollution around them. Fresh produce that is exposed to the environment is no longer preferred compared to tightly sealed produce in a vacuum packaging which assures consumers of contaminant free quality.
The rising cost of healthcare propels consumers to demand and seek fresh produce that can retain its nutrients and freshness through encapsulation.
Commercial environments such as industries with a host of products, Hot Melt Adhesive and restaurants with food and beverage options require quality encapsulation on their products, catalogues and menu presentation that reflects well on the company or organization. Products or documents which require frequent handling should be encapsulated with the right type of encapsulation film to avoid easy damage or exposure to bacteria in the atmosphere.
An encapsulated product assures its owner protection against external damages that include spillages, heat, moisture and wear and tear factors. Repeated mishandling through bending or folding of the catalogue, menu or document can lead to a faster damage which could incapacitate the item. Hence, new products are needed as replacements; higher costs are incurred which do not augur well with the bottom line of the company.
Types of film
The encapsulation process would require a special type of encapsulating film that would be melted over the important document or paper on one side or both sides for a stronger protection.
The type of encapsulation film applied would depend on the encapsulating process which encompasses polyurethane hot melt,cold or pressure sensitive options. Encapsulation films come in a myriad of quality and finishes that include glossy, satin, crystal and matte; each finish has its own special features to benefit the document.
