 At Tatrafran, our prepress department combines a graphic studio with an in-house photopolymer plate production facility. This enables us to maintain full control over the entire flexographic prepress process - from artwork preparation to the finished printing plate.

Our graphic studio handles the adaptation and technical preparation of artwork in accordance with the customer’s requirements and the specific demands of flexographic printing. In-house production of digital photopolymer plates allows us to fully control the prepress process, produce printing plates quickly, and make any necessary adjustments without delay.

This ensures accurate reproduction of the original design, consistent color performance, high print quality, and repeatable results from one print run to another. It also helps us reduce lead times and respond more efficiently to our customers’ needs.

Our flexographic printing department is equipped with two modern 8-color printing presses, providing high-quality printing on flexible packaging materials.

The equipment enables printing on film and paper up to 1,250 mm wide, as well as applying protective and decorative varnish coatings. Advanced printing technologies ensure accurate color reproduction, high image detail, and consistent print quality throughout the entire production run.

The high productivity of our equipment allows us to efficiently handle orders of varying complexity and volume while maintaining consistently high quality and meeting agreed delivery deadlines.

Lamination at our facility is carried out on modern laminators that combine high productivity, versatility, and precise process control. The equipment enables us to produce multilayer packaging materials with enhanced performance and barrier properties.

Technical capabilities of the lamination department:



- lamination width — up to 1,310 mm;


- adhesive lamination of up to 4 layers;


- solvent-based and solventless lamination;


- application of Cold Seal adhesive for packaging temperature-sensitive products.



Our modern equipment ensures high lamination quality, strong bonding between material layers, and consistent performance of the finished packaging throughout the entire production run.

Tatrafran LLC is equipped with high-performance bag-making machines featuring LEMO internal adhesive reinforcement. This technology enables the production of bags with a bottom gusset, as well as bags with rounded or straight bottoms.

The equipment also allows for valve perforation, commonly known as a tear-off valve, which is particularly useful for manual product packaging.

In addition, the machines can produce round ventilation holes to ensure air circulation, as well as easy-open notches on the bags.

These capabilities allow us to manufacture flexible packaging tailored to specific product and customer requirements, combining functionality, durability, and convenience of use.

Tatrafran LLC is equipped with high-performance SOMA slitting machines, designed for precise longitudinal slitting and rewinding of flexible packaging materials.

The equipment is suitable for both monofilms and multilayer laminates with thicknesses ranging from 8 to 200 μm. The minimum slitting width is 35 mm, enabling us to manufacture products to meet a wide range of customer requirements.

Our modern slitting machines ensure high cutting accuracy, consistent finished roll quality, uniform winding, and high productivity. This allows us to efficiently process orders of different volumes and formats while ensuring that the materials are ready for further use on packaging equipment.

Tatrafran has its own quality control laboratory, where packaging materials and finished products are tested to ensure compliance with established standards and technical requirements.

The laboratory is equipped with specialized testing instruments, including:

- a universal testing machine for evaluating seal strength, interlayer bond strength, tensile strength and elongation, elastic modulus, and coefficient of friction;
- laboratory scales;
- a thickness gauge;
- a film sealing device;
- an optical ruler.

The laboratory’s testing capabilities enable us to monitor the key quality parameters of packaging materials and finished products, ensuring consistent performance, reliability, and compliance with customer requirements and applicable technical standards.

One of the key advantages of Tatrafran’s production capabilities is our in-house automated Inkmaker ink-mixing station, supplied by an Italian manufacturer specializing in precision dosing and ink preparation for printing.

The system enables us to quickly produce the required colors and make adjustments directly during production, reducing print preparation time and ensuring consistent results.

Automated dosing of ink components provides high color-matching accuracy and repeatability from one print run to the next. The system also supports the Pantone Matching System (PMS), allowing us to accurately reproduce corporate and complex colors in accordance with approved color standards.

This technology gives us greater control over the entire ink preparation process and helps ensure consistent, predictable color results across every production run.
