THE PROCESS IN PRACTICE
Printing and Converting, Connected
Production brings the printed design and the material structure together. Tsimis’s plants in Lamia combine rotogravure printing with lamination, coating and sleeve production, supported by independent ink-mixing and solvent-recovery installations.
Build the Structure
Solvent-based and solvent-free lamination, hot-melt and cold-seal coating are available converting processes. Their use depends on the intended material structure.
Support the Process
An independent ink-mixing station supports production, while the solvent-recovery installation supports solvent recycling and reuse. Quality controls accompany the production process.

Your questions,
answered.
What is the difference between printing and converting?
Printing places the artwork on the material. Converting includes processes such as lamination and coating that contribute to the required packaging structure. The two are considered together for the final application.
Which materials does Tsimis print and convert?
The material range includes OPP, PET, PVC, PE, paper and aluminium. The appropriate material or combination depends on the product, printing and packing requirements.
How should I describe a production requirement?
Include the application, dimensions, colours, current structure and expected quantities. Identify any coating, lamination or label-format requirement so it can be discussed with the relevant team.
YOUR NEXT STEP
Prepare your packaging brief.
Start with your product, pack dimensions, packing process and artwork. Add quantities and the change you want to achieve. You can begin with the information you already have.
