Dirty Static Problems

Bison Bag Company, located in Lockport, N.Y., prints, converts, and laminates a variety of films and other flexible packaging materials for many industries. Using flexography as well as the latest in digital technology, the company produces printed and plain poly bags and pouches.

Until recently, Bison Bag used static control bars with an eradication field of about 1˝. The bar helped eliminate some static charge, but not all of it and the result was bags that didn't stack well.
