Printed films play a crucial role in hygiene product packaging — from sanitary napkins to diapers and wet wipes. Yet, many purchasing teams unknowingly fall into the same traps when sourcing printed PE film.
At Sanvera, we’ve helped dozens of hygiene brands optimize their print film performance. Here are the top 3 misconceptions we see most often — and what they may be costing you.
Misconception 1: “Any PE film can be used for printing.”
Reality: Not all PE films are print-compatible. Films without proper surface treatment (like corona treatment) or with unstable thickness profiles can lead to:
- Ink smearing or poor adhesion
- Color inconsistency
- High reject rates during lamination or converting
What to do: Use films specifically formulated for printability — with controlled surface tension, optimized resin blends, and tight GSM tolerance.
Misconception 2: “Higher print quality = better packaging.”
Reality: Overengineering your packaging can backfire. Excessive ink density, unnecessary layers, or high shrinkage films may:
- Reduce production speed
- Cause registration issues in high-speed lines
- Increase unit cost with no added brand value
What to do: Balance visual appeal with technical performance. At Sanvera, we help clients co-develop print specs that match both branding and machine reality.
Misconception 3: “Once approved, the film doesn’t need revalidation.”
Reality: Ink suppliers change, humidity fluctuates, and so do raw material batches. Skipping periodic checks can lead to:
- Ink ghosting
- Poor lamination performance
- Packaging complaints from end-users
What to do: Sanvera provides batch-level QC reports and encourages regular co-testing with clients’ printers and packaging converters.
Small mistakes in printed film sourcing can lead to big production losses.
