Labeling your cartons and packages can be one of the most labor intensive – and expensive – aspects of your production line. If you're currently incurring the cost of labels and ribbons, you stand to save thousands by implementing a more streamlined – and better integrated – labeling system. Two products from AT Information Products (ATIP) can help reduce your costs and, even better, alleviate the burden associated with traditional labeling systems: the iJET Printer and the X1Jet AUTOPRINT system.

If you're considering integrating a stretch wrapper into your production line, you've undoubtedly wrestled with concerns over operator skill. With the time – and financial – investment required to properly train operators, it can be risky gambling on employees that may – or may not – stick around. This, coupled with the downtime incurred by a training period, can make the integration of a stretch wrapper seem out of reach. Well, with Lantech's new "Load Guardian" program, these concerns are a thing of the past!

Next month, October 11 to October 13, Technical Packaging Systems will be giving customers the chance to explore stretch wrapper options firsthand with our Lantech Truck Blitz. Loaded up with the company's Q400XT with the "EZ Scale" and "Click-N-Go" upgrades, this is an excellent opportunity to learn about advancements in stretch wrapper technology, as well as see these amazing pieces of equipment in action. During the event, our staff will be on hand and prepared to answer any questions that you may have about integrating new stretch wrapping equipment into your operation, such as our equipment's production speeds, maximum load weights and wrap forces.

When you buy a car, you take it for a test drive. When you pick out new clothes, you try them on. Why should purchasing packaging equipment be any different? We want to be able to show our customers how much of a difference the packaging equipment we sell can have on their operation, and why the equipment we offer is second to none. That's why we're happy to extend our Automation Summit invite to you. The event will be running from August 29th to September 16th. We will be featuring Case Forming, Tray Forming, Inspection Equipment, and many others on our showroom floor (Stretch wrapping, shrink wrapping, food sanitary conveyors, etc.). 

Stretch films are very diverse in terms of thickness, pre-stretch, different additives and resins, and also how the film is extruded. The two different techniques used to create stretch film are blown and stretch. Each of these techniques used to create the stretch film will yield different properties – and depending on your application – you’ll want to consider what the best fit is for you. We have laid out the quick and easy comparisons between blown film and cast film for you.
