Stewarts of America are your perforating specialists, and the one stop shop for precision hole making.There are HOLES in many more places, performing important tasks than most of us realize. Papers, Films, Foils, Foams, Cardboards, Nonwovens, Composites and other materials can all be MACRO, MICRO or NANO PERFORATED for a wide range of reasons. There are obvious applications, like the holes that allow air in bags to extend shelf life. But…. how about giving diapers sufficient porosity to allow urine though to an absorbent layer? a large open area to allow fragrance to emit from an air freshener? De-gassing during a rubber vulcanizing process, or to allow air to escape between the layers of an aircraft’s composite layered fuselage to increase structural rigidity? In Food packaging, the most common applications are packaging for pet foods, frozen foods, boil in bag, microwaveable packaging, lidding Films, Steam Vents and easy tear openings. The applications are vast and endless.HOW DO I KNOW WHAT PERFORATING TECHNIQUE WILL WORK BEST FOR MY PROJECT?This question is literally the reason why we have become a one-stop shop for perforating solutions. We take the following simple steps to take you from concept to production:Discuss the project and expected outcomeStudy material and see which process works best to achieve your perforating goalsDetermine hole size and pattern that is suitableRun sampleDesign tooling and machineryRun toll perforating orInstall and setup perforation tooling or machinery in your facility Whether you are having issues with trapped air or liquid, looking to add grip, texture, extend the surface area of a material for increased absorbency of liquid or sound, our experience in the hole making arena will fast track you to where you need to be. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PERFORATING TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE:Hot pin perforating (rotary and vertical)Cold pin perforating (rotary and vertical)Slit perforating (razor and crush)Tear line perforating (cross tear, inline tear, both or custom)Punch perforating (vertical cam, electro-pneumatic and electro-mechanical)Rotary punch perforating (ejection and suction)Laser perforatingThermal (flame) perforatingVacuum perforatingEmbossingCONCLUION:No matter whether you have an extruder, laminator, flexo-printer, coating machine, slitter, center folder, VFFS, HFFS, flow wrapper, bag making machinery or other process, perforating can be added to your existing equipment as tooling, as an attachable unit, or can be offered as an offline process.

RT SeriesThe RT Series comes in a range of 32-20, 42-25, 62-25 & 82-20 and can produce both rigid and flexible packs.Unlike traditional linear thermoformers, the Shawpak thermoforming machine uses a rotary drum to form, fill and seal the medical devices. Using a drum reduces the need for expensive clean room space, as itâs so compact. It also reduces waste on blister packs and increases the flexibility for tool changeover. LP SeriesThe LP Series – launched at the start of 2021 – represents the best solution for packaging flat medical products. The Shawpak pouch machine is a highly flexible and innovative solution for producing pouches. The machine can also be utilised to make 4-side seal packs for flat medical devices. Other beneficial features include a compact bespoke design, which saves valuable floor space and utilises modular assemblies for quick changeovers and improved accessibility. Take back control of your supply chain, produce your own medical packaging on demand. LB SeriesThe LB Series is a linear blister machine with a maximum forming area of 630mm x 380mm x 100mm. The LB63-38 Form-Fill-Seal system is tailored to produce male-formed rigid blister packs directly from roll stock. LT SeriesShawpakâs newest machines coming soon include the LT series. The LT63-38 machine is able to produce larger blister packs, allows for product retention by including undercut on packs and has the ability to male vacuum form. The maximum blister size is 630 x 380x100mm.
