Tresu develops flexo unit for sanitary napkins

The Danish company Tresu has developed a multi-colour flexo printing unit for applying patterns to non-woven disposable sanitary napkins. It applies patterns on the inside of the product, working alongside other converting processes on the napkin production line.

The printing unit is said to be a compact unit made up of four water-based colours, a hot air dryer and a register guidance camera. It can print to non-woven materials between 15 and 22gsm, especially pre-perforated PE polymers. It includes Tresu’s F10 iCon ink supply system which also has automatic cleaning.

Allan Sander, vice-president of Tresu Solutions, comments: “Consumers are increasingly seeking assurance about the quality of their products, and research has shown that there is stronger loyalty to napkin brands with recognisable printed designs such as icons or logos printed on the fabric. Tresu’s customised printing integration system enables the personal hygiene industry to achieve this, while maintaining a cost-controlled, flexible, single-pass operation.”
