PERFormaX rules
The new Performax rule is designed for Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP) and Retail Ready Packaging (RRP).The effective perforating rules for SRP/RRP should accomplish the following 6 major goals:
- Creating packaging that consistently stands up to transportation and handling stress – if the packaging fails at this point, all else is meaningless.
- Make packaging that is easy to open and to merchandise.
- When torn, the resultant edges should be “safe” to handle (eliminate consumer paper cuts) and have an excellent look and feel.
- Have strong teeth, at a consistently even height, that will not only produce consistent perforations, but will be sturdy enough to stand up to the forces of rule insertion and diecutting.
- Make it simple to choose the right perforation for the specific application at hand.
- Be reasonably priced and readily available.
