On August 15, 2026, OMOpack brought two new slitting lines into full service at our flexible packaging production facility. These new slitting lines are the latest step in our capacity expansion program, allowing us to process wider master rolls, shorten production cycles, and hold tighter tolerances on every finished roll. For brands that depend on custom packaging, this means faster delivery, steadier quality, and more flexibility when order volumes grow.
Why Slitting Lines Matter in Flexible Packaging
Slitting is one of the most precise steps in flexible packaging manufacturing. After film is extruded, printed and laminated, the slitting machine cuts wide master rolls into narrower finished rolls that match each customer’s exact specification. The width, edge quality and tension of those finished rolls determine how smoothly they run on filling and packaging lines. Poorly slit rolls cause misaligned printing, wrinkled film and unplanned downtime at the customer’s packing station.
With the two new lines, OMOpack can now handle master rolls with greater width and heavier weight, reducing the number of splices and improving material yield. The machines are equipped with digital tension control and automated blade positioning, which keep width deviation within very tight limits even at high line speeds.
What the New Lines Mean for Customers
The most immediate benefit is shorter lead times. Because more slitting capacity is available, production planning is less likely to be blocked at the finishing stage, and rush orders can be scheduled with more confidence. This is especially valuable for small and medium brands that order in batches and need reliable turnaround to keep their own shelves stocked.
Quality is also more consistent. Automated inspection on the new lines flags edge defects early, so problematic film is removed before it reaches the packing station. For brands looking to elevate their product presentation, consistent roll quality translates directly into better print registration and cleaner pouch forming.

Supporting Customers Across Global Markets
OMOpack serves food, beverage, pet food and e-commerce brands in many countries, and different markets come with different compliance requirements. The new slitting capacity gives us more room to run dedicated campaigns for export orders without disrupting standard production. Whether your packaging must meet EU or US requirements, consistent roll quality and reliable documentation remain the foundation of smooth customs clearance and a successful retail launch. See our comparison of US vs EU packaging requirements for an overview of the key differences between the two markets.
