Registered vs Random Repeat Custom-Printed Rollstock Film

Today, we will discuss the differences between registered and random repeat custom-printed films for rollstock packaging. Our customers often seek further clarification on these terms and how they compare. Let’s explore the characteristics of these two types of custom-printed thermoforming packaging films.

REGISTERED PRINT PROS:

MORE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING

ABLE TO FIT MORE INFORMATION ON A SINGLE PACKAGE

SEAMLESS TRANSITION FOR EX-LABEL CUSTOMERS

REGISTERED PRINT CONS:

REQUIRES HIGHER ATTENTION TO DETAIL

ONLY CAN USE ONE PRINT FOR ONE LOT OF PRODUCT

RANDOM REPEAT PRINT PROS:

REQUIRES LESS ATTENTION TO DETAIL WHEN RUNNING ROLLSTOCK

CAN USE SINGLE PRINT FOR MULTIPLE LOTS OF PRODUCT

RANDOM REPEAT PRINT CONS:

LESS AESTHETICALLY PLEASING

How to set up the artwork file for random repeat custom-printed non-forming film

Random repeat print is quite simple to set up. Typically you need to set up per the width of your roll multiplied by how many lanes are being printed. As far as the advance, you will need the plate size from the printer. All of this information is readily available upon request.

How to set up the artwork file for registered custom-printed non-forming film

The registered print will need to be set up off of the die file provided by the manufacturer of your thermoforming vacuum packaging machine. You need pocket length, pocket width, pack width, top film (non-forming) width, and advance length (repeat length). Usually, the die file will provide all of this information making it easier to forward off to JVR Industries. We require our customers to only send a 1-up file and we can step out the artwork and apply the required distortions for proper printing.

What file types does JVR Industries use?

JVR Industries can use pre-existing files such as .ai, .pdf, .psd, and .jpeg. The file type we require for your specific job depends on what you require of us. If you are looking to just print the file you have, then we need a workable file such as an adobe illustrator file or illustrator pdf file. In the event that your text needs to be edited, we will need the text to be live in the file.

Looking for a brand-new design? No problem! You can leave that up to our in-house graphic designer/prepress technician to tend to. Lastly, if you are considering a recreate, we need any file type. Flattened files like .jpeg might work but depends on the specific scenario. Please feel free to reach out to andrew@jvrinc.com for any custom printed rollstock thermoforming vacuum packaging film requests.

Conclusion

Selecting the type of printing is all dependent on your personal preferences and needs!

Typically, random repeat printed bags only use one color of ink like black. It is not uncommon for customers to use this for things like bio-hazard, recycling, or suffocation warning symbols. Often times this type of printing is so our customers can meet the standards or requirements in their industry.

5 steps to vacuum seal liquids in chamber vacuum sealers

Today we discuss the basic principles or steps of how to vacuum seal liquids in a chamber vacuum sealer! Here are 5 steps to vacuum seal liquids in a chamber vacuum sealer: Pre-chill product, clean the mouth of the pouch, gravity-feed product in the pouch, increase headspace in the bag, and use a SKIP function, if present on the unit. These 5 steps help promote seal integrity, maximize vacuum draw, demote the opportunity for freezer burn, and prevent liquids from boiling over!

How does rapid boil affect vacuum draw? Can’t I continue the vacuum process after the boiling starts?

Once a rapid boil takes place, you have officially hit the maximum vacuum draw potential for that specific pouch. You could pull for an additional 10 minutes after the rapid boil commences and all you will achieve is a mess, a bad seal, and no more vacuum draw than when the boil began.

If you were to toss a hot liquid in a chamber pouch to vacuum seal it, you would notice the liquid boiling much quicker than a chilled one! Maximize your shelf life by pre-chilling your liquids ahead of time!

How do you vacuum seal juicy foods?

Vacuum sealing meat is a concern that many of our customers have because of the rapid boiling that takes place in the juices. The smaller the quantity of liquid, the more minimized the impact of vaporization from the boil. Some meats have a higher moisture content. We suggest not pouring all the liquids in with the meat to minimize the impact of vaporization. The less liquid you have, the less of a concern of the impact on vacuum draw. Also after sealing many high moisture content products, we suggest making certain you get your oil pump nice and hot to expel any unwanted moisture from the pump.

What type of vacuum sealer is most appropriate for the job of vacuum sealing liquid rich foods?

Selecting the proper sealer whether it be a low-level vacuum sealer or industrial-grade chamber vacuum sealer is everything when sealing liquid rich foods properly. Let’s discuss the factors that can majorly impact your final seal when dealing with wayward liquid.

Dry piston vacuum pump vs oil pumps: One of the biggest factors behind longevity

Most typical low-end external models such as edge or suction vacuum sealers host what is called a dry piston pump. An external vacuum sealer might not be the best selection for liquid food. What about a chamber vacuum sealer? Some lower-end chamber sealers will even have this type of pump at the heart of the unit. So if you are considering entire liquid food items, you may want to read on!

Dry piston pumps are more than fine if you are sealing only dry food only. Once a dry pump, alternatively known as a “maintenance-free pump,” starts vacuuming any type of moisture-content products, the pump will slowly internally corrode eventually leading to an unusable pump. The downfall of a “maintenance-free” pump in this situation is that it lives up to its name: maintenance-free.

Oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps on the other hand are able to expel moisture content preventing internal corrosion with proper care. Oil pumps, once they are hot, will separate the water and oil. The liquid in the pump will then vaporize and exit out of the exhaust, but continue to circulate the oil. Selecting the proper vacuum sealer with the best vacuum pump means a better life span, higher vacuum draw faster, and more! Learn more here on the differences between dry pumps and oil pumps.

“…the same exact composition of co-extruded polyethylene and nylon.”

What are the major differences on chamber vacuum pouches and vacuum seal bags (used for edge, suction, and external vacuum sealers)?

Before we get into the differences in chamber pouches & foodsaver bags, we want to show you the similarities! Chamber vacuum pouches and vacuum seal bags for external sealers are the same exact composition of co-extruded polyethylene and nylon.

Now that we have that out of the way, what are the differences? The products have three simple differences!

The first difference is the texture. Chamber vacuum pouches are smooth in texture whereas the vacuum bags are embossed causing a dimpled texture.

The second one would be standard thickness. 3 mil vacuum chamber bags tend to be the standard for a chamber vacuum sealer such as our JVR Vac100 or Vac110. Units like foodsaver, weston and so forth tend to use bags that are around 4-mil thick. Vacuum sealer bags and rolls need to be thicker so it can more easily be embossed without punctures or failures at the creation state. Chamber vacuum pouches not only come in 3 mil, but also in 4-7 mil options! Not only do you gain this benefit, but you pay much less due to less tooling in order to make the product. That leads us to difference #3!

Now finally on to the last and third reason why these two products are different: COST! Cost is everything when it comes to something used so frequently. Everyone needs to save food, money and time. The chamber vacuum pouches are significantly less expensive than its counterpart vacuum bags. With this product you can save up to $0.47 per pouch as opposed to the expensive vacuum seal bags and rolls. Why are they so much less expensive you may ask? Simple! The two differences above explain it all. Standard thickness and embossment crank up the price on external vacuum seal bags and rolls. Save up to $1,000.00 in the first year if you are using 6 pouches a day!

“A chamber vacuum sealer distinguishes itself from a regular vacuum sealer by removing all the air in the pouch & chamber, resulting in a completely airtight seal for your product.”

How does the sealing process work?

The air inside is first evacuated out of the chamber vacuum sealer machine. Once the chamber vac machine removes the air from the chamber entirely, it then recycles the air into the seal section. The air is re-exerted or recycled under the seal bar lift pistons forcing the bar up while simultaneously heating the seal wire (heat strip) up. The more air you remove, the more powerful the seal.

What can you do with a chamber sealer? Why would you need a chamber vacuum sealer?

Promote longer-lasting food storage and reduce food waste. Save up to $1866 per year on food waste and enjoy deliciously prepared meats at the same time! You can also save up to $0.47/pouch as compared to external texture/embossed vacuum seal bags & rolls for food saver style machines.

SAME PRODUCT, NEW LOOK

Introducing our line of VacPouch – Chamber Vacuum Pouches. Use these in pair with your VacSeries, including Vac100 and Vac110! Also compatible with other chamber vacuum sealers.

Lowest Oxygenation Rates: High Barrier

Our high barrier pouches are co-extruded with EVOH which dramatically decreases OTR (oxygen transmission rate) and lowers gas transmission as well! Higher OTR means more shelf stable products. For most applications, this may be more than you need. The price is substantially higher compared to our standard VacPouch. If you need further guidance, please feel free to call JVR.

Pre-printed Pouch: Safe Handling Chamber Vacuum Pouches

Need pouches that have the safe handling instructions already printed on your pouches? We have those too! Feel free to check out what we have online or call for more questions. Do you need more than some generic printed safe handling pouch? Maybe consider having our designer custom design your company a pouch! 

Custom Pouches: In-house design and custom

printed chamber vacuum pouches

We now have an in-house designer who is willing and able to create a unique pouch for your company. Have a really rough mockup of what you want printed or previously printed with another company, but do not have the artwork? Well we can also recreate from mockups, scans, low resolution proofs, etc! We are capable of printing with CMYK to PMS (Pantone Matching System).
