Résumé : |
For many manufacturers, end-of-line packaging where goods are placed and sealed into secondary packaging such as corrugated cartons serves as one of the last lines of defense to ensure finished goods arrive to their final destination in excellent, saleable form. It’s a common process in manufacturing facilities across a variety of industries, but doesn’t always carry the same approach.
Manual labor, for example, is still used by some manufacturers for tasks like picking and packing. Others have moved to automation for everything from case forming and packing to sealing and palletizing in an effort to improve the efficiency of their operation by enhancing uptime, reducing labor costs, and minimizing material waste.
Case taping and sealing is a small but critical function of the overall end-of-line system. Different application techniques can enhance the reliability of the seal, the productivity of the line and the safety of those opening the cartons. |

- FIGURES : 1. For the best seal for cartons, the case sealing equipment and packaging tape must work together - 2. Packaging tape isn't a one-size-fits-all-solution ; some sealing solutions, like taping recycled cartons, may require a specialized packaging tape for the best seal - 3. A folder tape edge may deliver an easy-to-open seal that can be safely opened by hand without the need for a knife - 4. Folding the edge of the tape as it's applied can deliver stronger, more reliable case seal capable of withstanding the rigors of the distribution network - 5. During the packaging tape manufacturing process, microscopic nicks are inherently formed on the edge of the tape roll, which can propagate during application and lead to failue. Folding the edge of the tape eliminate microscopic nicks, helping to prevent tear-outs during tape application - 6. Excessive tension during application of the tape may lead to tape stretch, placing cases at risk to pop open in storage or transit |
