The new cera2heat digital heating technology allows the lamination of a thin (80 - 150 µm) layer of plastic film inside fiber-based moulded packaging. The digital lamination using cera2heat technology ensures that the film has a consistent thickness throughout the packaging, guaranteeing that even a thin film provides a sufficient barrier for gases, liquids and grease.
Additionally, it is easy for consumers to separate the constituents and dispose of them in a material-adequate manner. This results in a sustainable, fully recyclable packaging that also offers thermal insulation for hot drinks, which is not found in standard plastic cups. In addition, the cera2heat technology offers the following benefits:

Uniform material distribution and adhesion, even in the bottom corner, without the need for plug-assistance.

Significantly reduced heating times compared to radiation heating.

Simplified machine design and uncomplicated production process.

Compatibility with materials that have narrow processing windows, such as Polypropylene or recycled plastics.

Energy savings due to the use of thinner film.
