Then your adhesive application probably differs from the standard. Do your functional requirements vary by zone? Consider the required adhesion, release properties, protection or adhesive-free areas. If so, zone coating could be the right solution for your process. It allows you to apply your specific requirements in a controlled way, zone by zone.<\/p>\n<p>However, zone coating places specific demands on your application:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Highly accurate dosing;<\/li>\n<li>Controlled start and stop points;<\/li>\n<li>And stable pattern formation across the entire web width.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is not without its challenges. At the same time, zone coating offers clear benefits in functionality, cost control, material use and design freedom. We help you overcome the challenges in your process.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tYour challenge\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>In practice, this added complexity often causes issues as soon as you move away from full-web coating. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Edge build-up<\/strong><br \/>\nAdhesive accumulating at the edges due to uneven distribution or poor nozzle alignment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start\/stop deviations<\/strong><br \/>\nUnclean transitions during intermittent coating, causing overlap or gaps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Variations in coating weight during pattern coating<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Unpredictable behaviour at higher line speeds<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For functional labels, multilayer tapes and applications with tight tolerances in particular, every deviation directly affects product quality or waste levels. We understand that you are not only looking for flexibility in where you apply the adhesive. The stability of your production process matters just as much.<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/maan-engineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PTF2049.jpg\" alt=\"_PTF2049\" height=\"1280\" width=\"1920\" title=\"_PTF2049\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/maan-engineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_4074.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4074\" height=\"1278\" width=\"1920\" title=\"IMG_4074\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tTargeted application without compromise\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>When correctly controlled, zone coating offers several benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lower adhesive consumption<\/strong><br \/>\nNo unnecessary coating outside the functional zones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved product functionality<\/strong><br \/>\nCombine adhesion and release properties within a single product.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Greater process stability<\/strong><br \/>\nLess contamination and less process drift.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tighter tolerances<\/strong><br \/>\nConsistent edges and reproducible patterns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A key condition is the correct alignment of the application technology and process settings.

Reproducing it day after day under industrial production conditions is another. In zone coating, material behaviour, viscosity, line speed and process settings are continuously interacting. Even a small deviation can affect coating quality, product functionality or waste levels.<\/p>\n<p>That is why a successful zone coating application does not start with choosing a nozzle, intermittent coating or pattern coating. It starts with a clear understanding of how the product, material and process interact. With our coating expertise, test facilities and practical experience, we help translate this into a stable, controllable production process that does what it needs to do: perform continuously and reliably.<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/maan-engineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Innovatie-techniek-Maan-Group-Raalte-8.png\" alt=\"medewerkers bij de Maan Group richten een machine in voor productie\" height=\"1280\" width=\"1920\" title=\"Innovatie &amp; techniek Maan Group Raalte-8\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tHow do you get there?\t<\/h2>\n<h3>\n\t\t\tFrom functional requirement to stable process\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>Zone coating often starts with a functional requirement. An adhesive-free zone. A specific pattern. Or a combination of properties that full-web coating cannot achieve. The next challenge is translating that product requirement into a stable production process.<\/p>\n<p>This starts with analysing the material and defined process requirements. Based on that analysis, we determine which coating strategy best fits the application. We then validate the approach in our test centre. We assess not only functionality, but also reproducibility under realistic production conditions. The insights gained guide the configuration. Step by step, this creates a solution that not only works in theory, but also delivers reliable performance at industrial scale.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tWhich coating strategy fits your application?\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Would you like to understand the different technologies and identify the strategy that matches your product requirements and line conditions?<\/p>\n<p>We have set out the differences and specifications for each technology in a clear overview.
