We define converting as the general term for activities that produce new value after sending relatively thin materials such as plastic film/sheets, metal foils, paper, paperboard, nonwoven fabric, textiles, metal plates, and glass through processes including coating, laminating, and printing.
Converting can be considered an integrated technology that combines a variety of fundamental technologies, such as coating, laminating, printing, and slitting. Converting results in products used in a wide range of fields, including packaging, agriculture, architecture, information, electricity, transportation, medical, security, environmental, and disaster prevention. In this way, the technology is used to satisfy the wide range of needs created by modern society. In addition, the potential of converting in the futuristic fields of bio technology and nano technology is increasing, bringing greater interest to this field.
