Versatile design for performance + sustainability
Easy Opening - Integrity Preserved - PrimeTear™.
PrimeTear™ uses a patented process to control the laser precisely on MDO/PE films. Laser power and score depth are synchronized, so the pack opens easily while the film keeps its tensile strength and barrier integrity.
Bringing PrimeTear™ to Your Packaging
PrimeTear™ can be delivered through FlexPak’s in-house laser processing services, allowing brands and converters to access advanced easy-open functionality without new capital investment. Ideal for development and full-scale production runs.
In-House Laser Processing
PrimeTear™ integrates into existing or new LasX LaserSharp® systems, allowing converters to bring PrimeTear™ capabilities directly onto their production lines with high-speed, repeatable scoring on PE and MDO films.
Laser System Integration
PrimeTear™ performance by optimization of our laser process software and hardware to deliver a consistent easy open feature. FlexPak works with customers to develop suitable materials for consistent opening performance and package integrity.
