Contract Packager Ramps Up Productivity, Reduces Labor

A contract packager shrinkwrapping stacks of booklets had issues maximizing the speed of a new high-speed side sealer. A Clysar shrink professional solved the issue with a combination of equipment and film. 

A flighted infeed conveyor was added to the line, which squared up the loose materials and fed them into the tunnel at a controlled pace. A scale allowed workers to feed the booklets by weight rather than hand-counting them. LE Gold shrink film (a glossy film with a gentle shrink force) was used to make sure the film would not curl or damage the thin flexible materials. Productivity went through the roof, packages were more consistent and the line required six fewer people to run.
