THE CORONA TREATMENT DIGEST
A diligently curated publication of the latest on packaging industry trends, news, and corona treatment. Written by experts.
Flexographic Printing
Corona treatment is necessary in flexographic printing to ensure that the ink adheres correctly to the substrate and does not smudge or smear.
Rotogravure Printing
Corona treatment is essential in rotogravure printing to ensure that the ink adheres correctly to the substrate and does not peel off or fade quickly.
Digital Printing
Corona treatment is necessary in digital printing to ensure that the ink adheres correctly to the substrate and produces high-quality images that do not fade quickly.
The Treaters
Narrow Web
Narrow web corona treaters can be found on printing presses. From intricate label printing to flexible packaging, narrow web corona treaters cater to diverse printing and labeling applications.
Mid-Wide Web
For larger flexographic operations, mid-wide web corona treaters are equipped for incredible line speeds and fast-paced production environments.
Sheetfed
For sheet processes. Sheet format corona treaters treat a wide range of thicknesses. They can also handle rigid materials like corrugated plastic.
The Benefits
Benefits of Corona Treaters in Printing Applications
The benefits of corona treaters in printing applications are many, including improved print quality, longer-lasting prints, and cost-effectiveness.
Better Adhesion
Corona treatment improves the surface energy of the substrate, resulting in better adhesion of inks, coatings, and other materials applied during the printing process.
Improved Print Quality
Corona treatment ensures that the printing ink or coating adheres to the substrate, resulting in higher print quality and sharper images.
Longer Lasting Prints
Corona treatment ensures that the prints are long-lasting and do not fade or peel off quickly.
Cost-Effective
Corona treatment is a cost-effective way to improve print quality and ensure that prints last longer.
SHEETFED PRINTING CORONA TREATERS
Corona treaters are commonly used in sheetfed printing to ensure that the ink adheres correctly to the substrate and produces high-quality prints. The surface energy of the substrate plays a crucial role in determining the adhesion of the ink or coating, and corona treatment increases the surface energy of the substrate, making it more receptive to inks and coatings.

Web printing is a printing process that involves printing on a continuous roll of plastic film or other flexible substrates. This printing process is commonly used in the packaging industry to print on materials like polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, and other plastic films. In film web printing, the surface energy of the substrate is critical for ensuring that the ink or coating adheres correctly to the substrate.
