FC Cut™

Can be cut by hand easily

FC Cut™ & Fancy Cut™ appeal is that you can tear the product by hand.
FC Cut™ and Fancy Cut™ are attractive for their superb crisp feel when cut by hand. Special processing has realized ease of cutting by hand of plastic laminate film. There are multiple methods of opening the package, among which making a notch is a ordinary method. While the FC Cut™ may have a shape that does not allow notching and consequently an ease of opening is achieved without requiring scissors. Thus, for example, in the case of the ordinary stick package it is not possible to cut the stick horizontally by hand, the FC Cut™, simply by applying it to the folding part (end area), the package can be opened easily just by pinching and pulling that part. Since the stick package allows a large aperture pulverous and granular contents can be discharged without effort and solid contents are easy to discharge with less effort.

Spot FC (Child Resistance)

Safety packaging for Children!

Since the edge part of Stick does not have an easy tear function, it cannot be opened even if the infant bites or touches it. Spot FC can add the easy tear function in any size at the selected part.

How FC Cut™ is created

A rough surface for opening is formed in a specified position of the surface layer of the plastic film. The FC Cut™ will be ready for use by devising the rough part for opening in such a manner as to position it in the folding edge  part of the package. A package whose material is a plastic laminate film used to have such a high rupture strength that scissors or a cutter were needed to open. In contrast, packages capable of being easily cut had the problem that their rupture strength generally tended to be a low one. The FC Cut™, however, can be cut simply by hand albeit it is a high rupture strength package the material of which consists of a plastic laminate film.

  • Their concomitant use with 3-side or 4-side seal and zip pouches may include adding an opening function.
