Roll-Fed carton material
Available in various 1 liter and portion pack configurations, Elopak supplies material for the most common roll fed aseptic carton filling machines on the market.
The artwork should be supplied in the same way as for Pure-Pak® carton production, with one clear difference: panels 1 and 5 meet on the back of the carton and form a seal. Please note that the layout elements need to be positioned accordingly to create a seamless visual.
Every Roll Fed carton contains a dedicated register mark: the EB logo at the bottom of the package. The marking is essential for the production process. Color and printing specification for this element is identical to that of EAN bar codes.
