Case Packing System Helps Meet Supermarket Demand
In a bid to improve in-store shelf replenishment efficiencies major supermarket chains are demanding ever more shelf-ready packaging from their suppliers.
Demonstrations of ST 1250 utilising the modification will highlight the potential cost savings and the increased efficiency of product handling to be made by forming U-Cards at the time of product placement, said PiP.
Duncan Macintyre, the managing director of PiP, said: "This means costly adaptations to the in-feed of flowrappers to form U-Cards will become a thing of the past.
This is an exciting development that we are confident will be well received by the food industry." The ST1250 is said to be simple to mount on or over a variety of wrapping machines and is suitable for feeding items such as flat U cards and C cards at high speed with accuracy and reliability.
