A method for removing outer layer of rollstock includes: first step of cutting rollstock's outermost circumferential film in a first cut portion, the rollstock formed by a film sheet rolled from base end to tip end and the tip end temporarily fixed to an outer circumferential surface; second step of cutting the film in a second cut portion closer to the base end than the first cut portion, a length from the tip end to the second cut portion being equal to or more than one round of the rollstock's outermost circumference; and step of discarding a first cut-film piece from the first cut portion to the tip end and a second cut-film piece from the first cut portion to the second cut portion by drawing the first and second pieces with a drawing device while driving an unwinding roller mounted with a hollow portion of the rollstock to rotate.

The disclosure relates to a system for processing a ready-to-use web of a laminated packaging material including: a first rotatable roller and a second rotatable roller, wherein the web of laminated packaging material is wound from the first roller to the second roller a sensor for detecting a marking on the packaging material, said marking located at a predetermined position on said packaging material; at least one module arranged between the first rotatable roller and the second rotatable roller and configured to process the laminated packaging material; and a control unit connected to the sensor and the module. The control unit is configured to control the module based on the detected marking and/or information stored in the control unit. The disclosure also relates to a method for processing a ready-to-use web of a laminated packaging material, and a laminated packaging material.

Systems for providing efficient manufacturing of paper, sheet, and/or box products of varying size and structure, often with pre-applied print (pre-print), are provided herein. Efficient customer ordering/tracking, job aggregation, print imposition, corrugator planning, and tracking and adjustments throughout the manufacturing process are contemplated. A reel editor is configured to edit the roll based on waste and/or errors that occurred during various manufacturing processes (e.g., during printing). A control plan defining what is on each roll of printed web product may be updated after editing. Depending on the configuration, the reel editor may be integrated with various manufacturing components. The reel editor may be configured to determine if there is enough waste on the roll to even making editing worthwhile, such as based on desired quality of the images, customer requirements, different price points, among other possible factors.

In some embodiments, a method for manufacturing a packaging material includes forwarding a web of said packaging material through a nip provided between an anvil roller and an imprint roller which are arranged against each other, said imprint roller having a surface area including an imprinting area and a non-imprinting area, said imprinting area comprising protrusions forming an imprinting pattern. The method can further include imprinting the imprinting pattern into an outermost layer of said packaging material with said imprinting pattern as said web passes through the nip to form a visual or tactile pattern on the packaging material corresponding to said imprinting pattern. The method can further include adjusting the position of said web when said non-imprinting area of said surface area faces said packaging material The disclosure also relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a packaging material and a packaging material.

Provided is a glass winding system configured to switch between a breaking mode and a winding mode in which glass is wound with an interleaf to form the glass roll. Furthermore, a system for forming glass rolls includes a glass ribbon supply system (100), a cutting system (200) configured to cut the initial glass ribbon into a first glass ribbon and a second glass ribbon, a first glass winding system (400) configured to wind the first glass ribbon to form a first glass roll, and a second glass winding system (300) configured to switch between a breaking mode and a winding mode.

Provided are an accommodating device that performs appropriate processing in order to discard an empty paper pack remaining in the accommodating device and an image forming apparatus including the accommodating device. The accommodating device includes an accommodating unit, a processing unit, and a discarding unit. The accommodating unit accommodates a paper pack including a bundle of stacked sheets of printer paper wrapped with wrapping paper in such a manner that the printer paper is freely taken out. The processing unit flatly crushes and conveys an empty paper pack from which all of the sheets of the printer paper have been taken out and in which only the wrapping paper has remained. The discarding unit stores a flatly crashed empty paper pack conveyed from the processing unit in order to discard them.

A paper discharging apparatus comprises: a first conveying unit; a second conveying unit which includes a pinch roller and a feeding roller that are arranged closer to the downstream side; a movable mechanism which moves a surface part between a first position that the surface part is not contacted with the pinch roller and a second position that the surface part is contacted with the pinch roller through the paper so as to push the pinch roller; a control unit which moves the surface part to the second position, clamps the paper by the pinch roller and the surface part, and conveys the paper, thereby bending the paper, and which moves the surface part to the first position and clamps the paper by the pinch roller and the feeding roller, and rotates the feeding roller, thereby discharging the paper from the conveyance path.

An arrangement for controlling longitudinal forces acting on a web of packaging material being wound from a first reel to a second reel, said arrangement comprising a first roller having a first rotational axis and a second roller having a second rotational axis, wherein the first rotational axis is fixed while the second rotational axis is movable.

A control unit of a paper processing apparatus controls a driving unit such that pressing by a pressing member is released after an end portion of a paper bundle pressed by the pressing member is cut by a cutting blade, and controls, when determining that a front end portion of a removal member does not reach the pressing member at a position of the pressing member in a state in which the pressing by the pressing member has been released, the driving unit to move the pressing member to a position at which the front end portion of the removal member reaches the pressing member after the paper bundle is taken out.
