Enhancing Slitting Performance with Integrated Laser Scoring Technology

In flexible packaging and shrink sleeve converting, slitting is the core process that defines both productivity and final product quality.

Webcontrol takes slitting performance to the next level by integrating laser scoring technology directly into the slitting systems, transforming conventional converting lines into multifunctional, high-value production solutions.

Our slitting machines deliver:

●   High-speed, high-precision web handling

●   Excellent tension control and consistent roll quality

●   Reliable performance for a wide range of material

By incorporating a laser scoring device, the slitting process is beyond slitting, enabling additional functional features in a single pass.

Compared to conventional mechanical tooling, laser scoring technology enables non-contact processing, allowing precise control over depth and position. This results in:

●  Consistent and controlled opening performance

●  Reduced material deformation and burr formation

●  Enhanced product appearance and overall brand quality

With this integration, converters can easily achieve:

●  Easy-tear cuts for improved consumer convenience

●  Linear scoring for precise tear 

●  Perforation for control opening behavior

One machine, multiple values, added process

By combining slitting and laser scoring into a single system, Webcontrol helps customers:

●  Eliminate secondary processing steps

●  Reduce equipment footprint and operational complexity

●  Improve production efficiency

●  Expand capabilities for high-value packaging applications

This makes it an ideal solution for converters looking for upgrade from traditional slitting to smart, integrated and sustainable converting systems.
