Glossary

1

Corrugated board

A paper-based packaging material made from fluted layers sandwiched between linerboards; used for shipping cartons, display stands, and protective packaging. At Rosupack, corrugated board is a core category with machinery, board grades, and box-making equipment on display.

2

FEFCO code

A standard numbering system from the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers used to describe box styles and corrugated board constructions. Buyers at Rosupack use FEFCO codes to compare folding carton and corrugated designs across suppliers.

3

BOPP film

Biaxially oriented polypropylene film, a clear or metallised packaging film used for labels, wrappers, and flexible packaging. Rosupack exhibitors present BOPP grades for food, confectionery, and household products.

4

Shrink film

A plastic film that shrinks tightly around a product when heat is applied, used for multipacks, beverage bottles, and logistics bundling. Shrink-film lines and resins are a regular equipment category at Rosupack.

5

Stretch film

A highly elastic film used to wrap pallets and stabilise loads during transport. Rosupack covers stretch-film resins, cast and blown film lines, and pallet-wrapping accessories.

6

Thermoforming

A process that heats a plastic sheet and forms it into trays, cups, or blister packs using a mould. Thermoforming equipment and food-service packaging are prominent at Rosupack.

7

Blow molding

A manufacturing process for hollow plastic parts such as bottles, jars, and containers. At Rosupack, blow-molding machines are shown alongside PET and HDPE bottle solutions.

8

Injection molding

A process that injects molten plastic into a mould to produce caps, closures, thin-wall containers, and technical parts. Rosupack exhibitors cover injection-molding machines, moulds, and automation.

9

Extrusion

A continuous process that pushes melted plastic through a die to make film, sheet, pipe, or profile. Extrusion lines for flexible packaging and sheet are a core equipment group at Rosupack.

10

Flexographic printing

A rotary printing process using flexible relief plates, widely used for labels, flexible film, and corrugated board. Rosupack features flexo presses, plate-making, and ink systems.

11

Gravure printing

An intaglio printing process using engraved cylinders, chosen for high-volume, high-quality flexible packaging and labels. Gravure presses and cylinder services appear at Rosupack.

12

Aseptic packaging

Packaging that keeps sterilised food or beverage stable at room temperature by filling in a sterile environment. Aseptic cartons and filling lines are part of Rosupack's food-packaging scope.

13

PET

Polyethylene terephthalate, a clear, strong plastic used for beverage bottles, jars, and thermoformed trays. Rosupack covers PET resin, preforms, bottle-making equipment, and recycling technology.

14

HDPE

High-density polyethylene, a durable plastic used for bottles, caps, crates, and industrial containers. HDPE grades and moulding equipment are shown at Rosupack.

15

Labeling

The application of printed labels to bottles, cartons, and packs, including pressure-sensitive, shrink-sleeve, and wrap-around systems. Rosupack includes labeling machines, label stock, and inspection systems.

16

Coding and marking

Technologies that print dates, batch codes, barcodes, or serial numbers onto packaging, such as inkjet, laser, and thermal transfer. Rosupack exhibitors show coding equipment for traceability and regulatory compliance.

17

Palletizing

The automated stacking of cartons, bags, or packs onto pallets for storage and shipping. Robotic palletizers and end-of-line automation are regular Rosupack exhibits.

18

Mono-material packaging

Packaging made from a single polymer type to simplify recycling, such as all-PE pouches or all-PP cups. Mono-material structures are a growing theme in Rosupack's flexible-packaging halls.

19

Sustainable packaging

Packaging designed to reduce material use, increase recyclability, or incorporate recycled content. At Rosupack, this covers recycled resins, paper-based alternatives, and lightweighting technologies.

20

Smart packaging

Packaging with active or intelligent functions such as oxygen scavengers, temperature indicators, or QR-linked traceability. Rosupack features smart-label and connected-packaging suppliers.

21

Converting

The process of turning base paper, film, or foil into finished packaging through printing, coating, laminating, and cutting. Rosupack is a converting-focused show with film, foil, and paper conversion lines.

22

Lamination

Bonding two or more layers of film, paper, or foil with adhesive or heat to create barrier properties. Laminating machines and adhesives are shown at Rosupack.

23

Barrier film

A film layer that blocks oxygen, moisture, or light to extend shelf life. Rosupack covers EVOH, metallised, and coated barrier films for food and pharma.

24

Blister packaging

A pack formed by a thermoformed cavity sealed to a backing card or foil, common for pharmaceuticals and small consumer goods. Blister lines and materials appear at Rosupack.
