Oregon, USA-based Earth2O’s new retail line for six different PET bottle sizes up to 1.5 litre, with filling rates as fast as 300/min, has switched from corrugated trays to shrinkwrap using Arpac's latest high-performance continuous motion multi-pack shrinkwrapper.
The Brandpac BPMP-5000 can be adjusted for different bottle sizes and collations in less than 15 minutes, claims Arpac.
The decision to switch to shrinkwrap takes advantage of the Brandpac’s ability to accurately apply printed film. It can register the film on the actual artwork rather than requiring an ‘unsightly’ black block to be printed for print registration purposes, explains Arpac.
Arpac, who also designed and supplied the conveyor, adds that if necessary Brandpac machines can be set to run with corrugated.
