i-Vision: Keeping an eye on your product

  Food and beverage manufacturers make sure their products are attractive to their target consumers, and do so by choosing unique and extraordinary packaging designs. For this, shrink labels are definitely an indispensable tool and carrier. Label designs and bottle shape designs are also becoming more and more diversified – and all these demand advanced equipment standards, accuracy in application, and other technical capabilities. In response to these packaging requirements, Dase-Sing developed i-Vision , a peripheral device that works with the company’s automatic shrink sleeve labeling machine. An orientation system, i-Vision guides bottles or containers – even special bottle types – move in the right direction on the conveying system. When a bottle goes off track, i-Vision will help re-orient it as it goes to the next process for follow-up work.

Feature on Gold Great Good - manufacturer of OPP labeling machines in Taiwan

  Gold Great Good Machinery Co., Ltd has been in the packaging business since 1993, providing manufacturers in different industries with labelling machines designed and produced in Taiwan.   According to general manager, Cai Linhui, participating in the Japan Packaging Exhibition Group was a turning point for the company.

Over the years, it has also entered several markets including mainland China, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.  Sophisticated equipment and environmentally friendl

Checkweighers: Aiming for 100% accuracy

  WEIGHT is one of the physical aspects by which products can be easily scrutinised. Any inaccuracy could be taken as a sign that a production line is having quality control issues. For one, it could be a problem with checkweighing. Mettler-Toledo defines a checkweigher as “a system that weighs items as they pass through a production line, classifies the items by preset weight zones, and ejects or sorts the items based on their classification*.”  These machines are designed with various user considerations in mind.  There are so many checkweigher models out there today, so how do you choose the right one for your own business? Whether your company is small, large, or expanding, there's always a machine or solution that will fit your needs, according to   Nigel Wong, Head of Market Support Center, Asia Pacific, Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection.   Read more: Checkweighers * Principles of checkweighing.  https://www.packagingstrategies.com/ext/resources/FDP/Home/Files/PDF/Principleso

As the months drag on, more brands are temporarily shutting down, filing for bankruptcy, reducing the number of their workforce, or reducing their man hours. Every company is still struggling as a result of the pandemic's domino effect on industries. But there will always be a way to make up for losses. Will technology save the day?    Entering the new year with re-evaluated plans to buffer their businesses from all sorts of disruptions, manufacturers are making certain their products and services reach customers at the shortest possible time. Supply chain issues were among the most difficult for several producers, manufacturers, and retailers to handle in the past several months, and as such its management is a priority. Many companies were able to manage this with more ease than other
