Packaging Machines
Most packaging machines are built within a standard framework or configuration based around a standard pack format. Within this framework, they can then be customised in a number of ways:
- To process a range of sizes of pack
- To achieve a certain range of weights or volumes of product
- To include extra functions such as date coding, leaflet insertion, etc.
- To be compatible with other packaging machinery in the packaging line.
If a manufacturer wishes to avoid the risk and cost often associated with designing a completely new type of packaging machine, it is best to base any new design on a modification of an existing format that could be accommodated by adapting existing technology.
