Strategy Group lands UK first with Ishida kit installationJosh Brooks, 27 August 2010Be the first to comment on this article Contract packer Strategy Group has become the first UK firm to install Ishida’s new Flexible Strip Pack Applicator (F-SPA). The Nelson, Lancashire-based company has invested in the kit to boost business and push into new markets. The machine, supplied by Index, incorporates an “automatic clip strip solution” and can attach Hang Strips to products. “In the past, placing packs onto strips was a very labour intensive operation,” said Strategy Group sales manager Melanie Norcross. “Packs usually had to be adapted with the inclusion of a hole or Euro slot to enable them to be placed on the strips. The strips themselves could be quite heavy and bulky.” She explained that this added extra costs to the packing process and the Ishida system would ensure a “cost effective operation, which enables the strips to take on a far more pro-active marketing role”. According to the manufacturer, the F-SPA loads 60 bags per minute onto the Ishida Strip-tape, ready to hang at point of sale locations. The patented Ishida Strip-tape design heat seals the bags to the re-sealable strip tape. Click here for today’s headlines from across the packaging industry Speak Your Mind |
