Comexi
Value-added products for Makoter
"In regard to perforation, the quality and precise position, the possibility to define the strength of opening, and the ability to choose the model based on the needs of our customers, are the main arguments that have influenced us to purchase the Comexi S1 DS with laser technology,” explains Saša Makoter, owner of the Slovenian company. Additionally, he adds that this agreement with Comexi allowed them to be more competitive and opened up the possibility of creating products with higher added value, in turn increasing capacity. “Moreover, we will be able to introduce new products to the market without changing the equipment of our customers.”
Hygienic applications
Makoter, which is headquartered in Ljutomer, uses the Comexi slitter to produce flexible packaging for hygienic applications such as toilet paper rolls, tissue towels, napkins, and handkerchiefs, among others. The company, which was founded in 1981, in a garage producing plastic bags for packaged frozen foods, has specialised, since 1993, in the production of bags for various retail and manufacturing industries, including the toilet paper industry. Presently, Makoter has 133 employees and produces more than 7000 tons of different films.Recommended for tasks with large-diameter rolls, the acceleration ratios of the Comexi S1 DS achieve high productivity, due to is capability to handle diverse challenges and reach top speeds without loss. The integration of a laser-in-line processing system allows for customisation, differentiation, and at the same time, the performance of a wide gamut of applications and finishing processes, which include the following: micro perforations, macro perforations, design windows, pre-cut adhesive labels, alpha numeric codes and bar codes, security systems, and easy open applications.
