Packaging Industry - Business Opportunities

  • Streamline your process for adding labels, closures or RFID to paper board or flexible packages, including paper bags and envelopes
  • Add coupons or other promo items at any location - on (or inside) the packaging

PowerForward's label applicator technology can make the difference . . . for applying value-added items to your packages.

 

Streamline how you add pressure sensitive items to packages
Adding pressure-sensitive labels, closures or RFID near the end of a packaging process (as shown in the carton example below) is expensive . . . errors waste packaging material and the product contents. Plus you may be moving your materials to another part of your plant or using an extra supplier, adding to your costs and turnaround time.

Now you have another cost effective option

Using a PowerStick label applicator you can apply items much earlier - in the high speed part of your packaging line. As shown below, a PowerStick applicator applies pressure sensitive items before cutting and folding - directly on your high-speed web either after printing or before cutting.

The above process works for any web of packaging material. It offers flexibility. An item can be applied at any location - either inside or outside a package - while maintaining production speed. The PowerStick automatically synchronizes with the speed of the web process.
