Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague


AICC, the Independent Packaging Association, , has publicized the Innovator of the Year competition finalists and will announce the winner at SuperCorrExpo in Orlando, Fla. on Thursday, Oct. 20, 2016. Winning machinery should solve a production or management problem, improve efficiency, and increase plant productivity. 
 
A feature article in International Paper Board Industry Magazine highlights the installation of the Powerpacker in a well-known European corrugated packaging group named Model. The article explains that the company was under pressure from customers to deliver 100% undamaged boxes. Traditional strapping damaged top and bottom boxes, resulting in customer rejections and wasted production capacity. Installing the ATS banding system at the end of the Powerpacker resulted in an all-time low customer rejection rate.
 
ATS Banding systems are a unique form of bundling that applies a gentle and secure strap of paper or plastic banding material to unitize the bundle with zero damage. These systems are specifically designed for the corrugate industry and can be configured for bundle size, production rate, and bundle integrity.
 
Felins supplies specialty and custom engineered bundling solutions, serving virtually every industry. Its sustainable packaging solutions reduce labor, packaging mass, and maximize total savings. A distributor of the ATS brand banding machines, Felins provides damage free bundling for corrugated boxes and many other industry bundles. More information about Felins is available online.
