PPWR is changing the requirements for packaging across the EU. For flexible packaging producers, this also means new material structures, more recycled content and new challenges in cutting and slitting.

Fairs and events that Sollex plans to visit in 2026-2028

Sollex 5Z reduced blade changes by 47% in a comparative production test while maintaining clean, stable slitting of agricultural blown film with recycled plastic content. Over the 14-day test period, the Sollex blade required 333 blade changes compared with 628 for the competitor blade, at the same blade cost.

In high-speed cast stretch film production, blade performance directly affects output, uptime and roll quality. This case shows how Sollex 4-60-030-Z helped a European producer running a W&H FILMEX II Stretch increase production speed from around 300 m/min to 400–600 m/min, extend blade life by up to 1400% and achieve seven days of stable production.

The MARTOR SECUNORM 540 is designed for demanding industrial cutting tasks where reach, control and safety matter. With a 36 mm cutting depth, ergonomic handle and manual blade retraction, it helps users cut thicker packaging materials efficiently while reducing the risk of blade-related accidents.

Sollex supplies razor blades and slitting solutions for Lung Meng blown film machines, helping manufacturers cut HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PP, PE and PA films with cleaner edges, stable performance and reliable finished product quality.

For manufacturers cutting machine clothing, industrial textiles, process belts and engineered fabrics, blade performance has a direct impact on uptime, precision and production efficiency. The Sollex alternative to the Martor 752 is designed as a durable, direct-fit replacement for demanding industrial cutting applications where clean cuts, long blade life and reliable performance are essential.

Cutting tasks are part of daily work in packaging, warehousing, logistics, and industrial environments. Choosing the right safety knife can help reduce injury risks, improve control, and support a safer workflow. Sollex supplies MARTOR safety knives for professional users, including Secunorm 300, Secunorm 500, and Secupro 625, designed for everyday cutting tasks involving boxes, film, tape, wrapping materials, and packaging.
