Packaging leader reintroduces double anodizing with improved sustainability
Newark, Ohio, February 4, 2011 — Anomatic Corporation, the global leader of high volume anodized aluminum and personal care and medical packaging, announces its new multi-functional and sustainable process for double anodizing. This innovative method allows package designers new opportunities to create a fully anodized, highly decorative finish — previously an arduous task with limited production capability.
The double anodizing process involves printing a design, logo or artwork using a specialized masking ink onto an anodized surface, followed by an exterior treatment to strip the anodic film base, and is then re-anodized in a second color and/or finish. Artwork, design, color and finish options are limitless when combined with Anomatic's system.
Additionally, the double anodized finish is superior to other decorating techniques in terms of product compatibility and durability. Characteristics inherent in anodized finishing allow each product to be assembled at higher rates of speed and increases resistance to scratching, denting, peeling and chipping.
Anomatic's latest advancement to its proprietary anodizing system is capable of producing 50,000 double anodized parts per day and lowers price points to a level that appeals to many markets. As a global leader of high volume anodized packaging, with plants in Ohio, Connecticut and Suzhou, China, Anomatic continues to develop innovative packaging solutions that provide their customers the ability to manufacture new product offerings.
