and proven solution to their film production needs: an EDI
multi-manifold die.
EDI multi-manifold dies are used to produce biaxially
oriented films with enhanced properties for food
packaging, lamination, tape, photographic films,
electronics, labels, and over wrap by stretching the
material in two directions referred to as MD (Machine
Direction) and TD (Transverse Direction).
EDI multi-manifold die designs are engineered to order,
with continuous improvement taken from customer
feedback. Whether your specific application requires
a custom-designed die for the production of BOPA,
BOPET, BOPP, OPS, or a specialty application,
Nordson’s highly skilled team will work with you to design
an innovative solution to meet your needs.
