Calm, Cool Converting

The company's converting and finishing services encompass slitting, inspecting, rewinding, diecutting, laminating, and pouch forming. Notable equipment additions at Palmas in the past 12 months have included its third film doctoring/slitting machine, two zipper pouch-forming machines and a solventless laminator—all, says Love, intended to support anticipated growth in flexible packaging volume. In the next year Love expects that Palmas will make further preparations for increased flexible packaging production with the purchase of one to two additional pouch-forming machines, as well as shrink film seaming and cutting machines.
