Preco, LLC provides innovative and cost-effective solutions for converting applications such as enhanced medical device packaging, surgical tool fabrication, and orthopedic devices. We manufacture laser converting systems that are flexible, and precise and process at very high speeds, automated die cutting equipment featuring the tightest tolerances for production and rotary systems that offer the most flexibility for registered web processing. We are a global, industrial, materials processing company, that provides standard, and custom, machine tools, and contract manufacturing services, for the medical market. Integration to all levels of automation, and offers conventional multi-station rotary, four post servo or hydraulic or traveling head die cutting machines. | Preco is a leading provider of industrial laser, rotary and die cutting solutions. With flexible systems and contract manufacturing services that are trusted by the global leaders that push the boundaries of performance and productivity. Preco has two paths to production that meet you anywhere in your process to deliver tailored solutions for web handling, converting, packaging, laser welding, cladding, and heat treating – in our facility or yours. | Preco, LLC was the first to pioneer the use of industrial lasers to modify and enhance flexible packaging material. We continually expand our laser systems technology and contract service capabilities to meet the needs of the growing market for convenient easy-open, breathable and microwave venting packaging applications. Preco provides high-quality, cost-effective laser processing systems for flexible packaging. Cross Web systems direct the laser beam across the web for shape scoring, shape cutting and for perforating applications. Web Direction systems are utilized for scoring and micro-perforating. Preco’s FlashLite line of laser modules can be integrated over virtually any existing production line. Preco’s Contract Manufacturing Services can provide you with all of the resources needed to integrate laser processing into your manufacturing stream. Our SQF, and ISO 9001 & 13485 certified contract facility processes over 500 million linear feet of film per year. As the undisputed industry leader, many of our laser processing services are unique techniques offered only by Preco: • Laser Scoring for Consumer Convenience (AcuTear®) is a process of utilizing a focused spot of energy to remove material to a specified depth, thus providing easy open/easy tear flexible packaging while maintaining the strength and barrier properties. • Laser Perforating for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (AcuBreathe®) is a process of generating a series of small through holes to extend the shelf life in fresh-cut produce. Laser Perforating (AcuBreath®) is also used in burst protection applications when changes in air pressure are a concern. • Laser Scoring for Microwave Venting (AcuVent®) is used to produce controlled depth laser score segments into flexible packaging. These laser score segments (vents) are weakened areas of the material and when placed into a microwave the steam generated from within the package bursts through the vents, automatically ventilating the package for a perfect microwave product. | Preco is a premier provider of advanced energy solutions for material processing that is unique with the combination of laser processing and die cutting systems and services offered. We are a leading designer and manufacturer of precision automated processing systems for high-speed and high-accuracy cutting, perforating, welding, and other specialized industrial processing applications. With engineered systems, contract manufacturing, an applications development team and many resources within our company, we can provide solutions unlike any other manufacturer in the industry. Preco’s advanced laser and die cutting equipment provides solutions for your energy storage and power generation devices. Our contract manufacturing services can assist with producing battery and ultracapacitor modules and power generation devices such as high-efficiency turbines and fuel cells.
