One of the most important packaging features for consumers today is the ability to see the product inside the packaging. Our patented laser die-cut rollstock (DCRS) technology gives your consumers this important feature without sacrificing efficiency or shelf life.

This proprietary technology allows us to use high-speed lasers to die-cut customized windows into paper flexible packaging laminations in roll form. Compared to equivalent forms of packaging such as stand-up weber bags, die-cut rollstock provides several benefits:

• Adds significant shelf life for your product with better barrier and the ability to be gas flushable.
• Large productivity improvements and production savings due to automated packing and increased output per hour.
• Less inventory space required because die-cut rollstock takes 20% less storage space than bulky premade bags prior to packing.
• Prevents infestation; pests can’t enter bag because it is heat sealed.
• Low cost machining changeover; existing automated vertical FFS packaging machines can be modified to fill die-cut window rollstock.

Applications for die-cut window rollstock (DCRS)

Die-cut window rollstock is ideal for many applications, such as:

• Snacks
• Bakery products
• Deli products
• Pet treats
• Grains & cereals
• Dried meats & fruits
• Confectionery products

Patented die-cutting solutions

• State-of-the-art die-cutting technology
• Patented inline die-cutting process using extrusion lamination
• Heat-sealable liner & hermetic seals to increase shelf life

Cost savings and brand improvement with DCRS

C-P’s DCRS looks great and saves time by providing an automated packing solution for products such as cured meats.

After switching from hand-wrapped packaging to C-P Flexible Packaging’s die-cut window rollstock (DCRS) utilizing a flow wrapper, Elevation Meats saw improved productivity efficiency, cost savings, and brand image.
