In packaging, the sale is often treated as the finish line. At Cadillac Products Packaging Company, we see it as the starting point. Recently, one of our customers faced a significant challenge when their film supply was offshored to Asia. This shift caused minimum order quantities to triple, dramatically increasing their annual volume requirements, cash […]
Keep ReadingIn today’s packaging world, fitments are far more than functional add-ons — they’re key components that transform flexible packaging into a smart, user-friendly, and sustainable solution. From spouts and valves to caps and closures, fitments extend the life, value, and versatility of flexible packaging across markets ranging from food and beverage to personal care, household, […]
Keep ReadingWhen it comes to high-performance flexible packaging, three materials consistently lead the pack: Biaxially Oriented Nylon (BON), Biaxially Oriented Polyester (BOPET), and Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP). Each of these films offers unique characteristics that make them ideal for specific applications — from food and medical to industrial and personal care. 🎯 Application Snapshot: Film Common […]
Keep ReadingBiaxially film orientation is a process where manufacturers heat and stretch a plastic film in two different directions, both lengthwise and widthwise. Think of it like taking a piece of soft dough and stretching it out evenly in all directions. This reorganizes the polymer molecules inside, creating a very thin, strong, and clear film. How biaxial […]
Keep ReadingWhy Release Films Matter in Prepreg Manufacturing In advanced composites manufacturing, release films are essential. They create a clean, non-stick barrier during the curing of pre-impregnated fibers (prepregs), ensuring parts release smoothly from tooling surfaces. Without high-performance release films, defects, surface damage, or excess resin could compromise the final composite structure. Industries like aerospace, automotive, […]
Keep ReadingIntroductionIn the rubber manufacturing world, precision and performance matter. Rubber separator release films play a quiet but critical role—ensuring compounds are protected, separated, and processed with consistency. Whether you’re working with natural rubber, EPDM, SBR, or silicone compounds, the right release film can optimize production, minimize waste, and reduce contamination. What Are Rubber Separator Release […]
Keep ReadingIn the world of flexible packaging, two popular barrier material types stand out: Aluminum foil and MetPET, or MetOPP. While both types offer excellent protection for sensitive products, they each come with distinct advantages that make them better suited for specific applications. Aluminum Foil: The Ultimate Barrier Aluminum foil remains the gold standard when it […]
Keep ReadingIn today’s environmentally conscious market, manufacturers are under increasing pressure to reduce VOC emissions and adopt safer, more sustainable materials. Whether you’re producing flexible packaging, coatings, or labeling products, understanding the differences between water based, solvent free, and solvent based adhesives and inks is essential for making informed decisions. VOC & Environmental/Safety Comparison Table Property […]
Keep ReadingFlexible packaging has transformed industries by offering lightweight, durable, and cost-effective solutions for preserving and protecting products. However, raw packaging films often lack critical performance attributes such as barrier properties, printability, and mechanical strength. Advanced coatings play a crucial role in enhancing these materials, providing improved functionality and extending shelf life. Among the most effective […]
Keep ReadingThis emerging technology offers an innovative and potentially sustainable solution for waste management. This process, often referred to as microwave-assisted pyrolysis or microwave-induced decomposition, involves using microwave energy to break down organic and synthetic materials into useful byproducts. How It Works Benefits of Microwave-Assisted Waste Decomposition Challenges and Considerations Future Potential With growing concerns over […]
