Web handling seminars for converting and package printing

The course was lead by R. Duane Smith who, in his 36 years of experience in the industry, has become internationally recognized as a leading expert in web handling and winding technologies. The course provided practical information on how to confront the difficulties in web transporting, slitting, spreading and winding flexible packaging papers, films, foils and nonwovens. The importance of in-wound tension was discussed and how it is achieved and measured on various types of winders, as well as the causes and cures of common roll and web defects.
