Chinese Hot & Cold Foil Fresnel Lens Packaging Technology Now Available
Advanced hot and cold foil fresnel lens packaging technology from China will be available for the first time to Western manufacturers and converters as part of a new move from leading supplier, Fresnels Inc. The Shenzen-based sole distributor has introduced the foil products to enable the packaging sector outside of China to have available proven technology that will provide significant efficiency and cost savings benefits.
Current fresnel effects for consumer products are achieved using PET laminates, which cover the whole packaging before being overprinted to leave only the lens showing through. This method can be considerably expensive and wasteful in terms of materials, resulting in a product that can be costly to produce and cannot be recycled due to the high level of PET contained within the bulk of the laminate.
