US-based Ryback & Ryback Inc says it has developed several products to make shrink sleeve production, quality control and completion easier for companies in the shrink sleeve industry.
The company has recently developed the Sleeve Maker, designed to make single solvent seamed samples without the use of a seaming machine.
Sleeve Maker is a “fast and easy” way to have a sleeve that can be run through a heat tunnel and shown to customers as a professional sample, the company says.
“We’ve all been there, trying to create a single shrink sleeve sample using tape, glue, and double stick tape. It never works right and never looks as professional as a solvent sample,” says company owner Ron Ryback.
“I’ve developed the Sleeve Maker so that machine quality solvent based samples can be created faster, cheaper, and easier than running full production samples on a seamer.”
Other products developed by Ryback & Ryback include a Narrow Web Kit to make running smaller layflat sizes on Karlville K1-5 equipment possible; a Wick Holder developed for solvent application on thinner gauged films for several machine types; a Curl Tester to quickly know if your film tension is correct on a laminated film; and a Handheld Layflat Ruler to give the ability to measure precise layflat sizes during machine operation.
The Monroe, North Carolina-based company – formed in 2000 to provide service and consulting to packaging, printing and converting industries – recently introduced shrink sleeve ancillary equipment as part of an initiative to make shrink sleeve production easier.
