Case History

Labelling of Pet Food Carton Boxes

28/05/2019

The pet food producer needed to customize some pet food boxes, by adding a promotional claim label with a low-budget, fast and accurate machine.

Etipack provided a combined solution with a friction feeder and a labelling machine; this module is meant to operate off line to apply labels on boxes and flat packaging of different size. Below the main features of the system:

• Friction Feeder Whizzy, equipped with brushless motor, automatically separates and feeds flat boxes stacked in the magazine

• Labelling machine applying self-adhesive labels for highest flexibility

• This integrated off-line compact solution can be easily placed in small areas of production departments, dedicated to automated small-scale processes

• The combined process of friction feeder and labelling machine results in accurate application of labels and thus adding on the package appeal

• Easy fitting and adjustment devices on the feeder and on the labelling machine will allow to process different size of boxes and labels

The choice of a combined system with friction feeding and labelling machine with self-adhesive labels, compared to alternative solutions, has provided to this pet food producer:

• The highest degree of flexibility in implementing limited automatic processes on specific production batches in order to provide additional information (discounts, promotions)

• The highest degree of flexibility in processing a variety of formats of boxes and labels

• Guarantee to comply with law provisions by communicating to consumers optional information

• Choice between different types of systems, depending on specific production needs
