FachPack 2022: SealedAir to show automated packaging solutions for productivity and environmental boosts
31 Aug 2022 --- Sealed Air is preparing to show a range of automated packaging solutions at FachPack 2022 in a bid to demonstrate its continuing support for enhancing industry efficiencies, productivity and environmental sustainability.
The company will showcase several systems and products in on-stand demonstrations.
First, its Autobag brand automated systems will showcase high-speed printing and bagging. Developed for industrial and fulfillment applications, the systems require minimal labor and are designed to optimize continuous uptime and reduce packaging material waste.
Second, its automated void reduction system, Sealed Air brand I-Pack. This automates three key stages of a box packaging – height measuring, folding and closing – to rightsize packs and better optimize the transportation of goods.
The Sealed Air Cryovac brand.Pavel Kysely, vice president of sales Central & East Europe at Sealed Air, explains: “Automation is about much more than high-performance equipment. It’s also about addressing labor challenges to increase productivity and minimize errors and waste.”
“The ergonomic design of the new modular packaging station embraces automation by better organizing packaging areas to enable operators to work more efficiently. This can make packaging more comfortable, quicker, and easier to improve worker satisfaction and staff retention.”
Modular packaging and wrapping systems
The company’s modular packing station features a series of table, shelving and attachment configurations that can be tailored to an operator’s requirements to save space and reduce touchpoints.
Alongside the packing station, Sealed Air will also be showing its first paper wrapping systems, the new QuikWrap Nano and QuikWrap M. Both solutions have been designed to meet growing demand from low and medium-volume e-commerce retailers and fulfillment companies.
Another new product on display will be MySEE, the company’s digital-first commerce and customer experience platform. MySEE gives Sealed Air customers fingertip access to information about their packaging accounts whenever they want and need it.
“MySEE provides our clients with 24-hour access to their packaging accounts, seven days a week. They can place orders, check lead times, pricing information and shipping, and find out about packaging innovations,” says Kysely.
“Our customers will benefit with greater transparency and information about their packaging. The digital portal is initially being rolled-out to Sealed Air Brand Protective Packaging customers in Germany, and we look forward to expanding it across EMEA.”
Food processing
For food processors visiting FachPack, Sealed Air will be sharing insights about its Cryovac brand food packaging. Experts will be available to help companies to solve critical packaging challenges ranging from vision product identification and robotic staging to bagging, vacuum packing, quality assurance and robotic case packing.
“Sealed Air’s approach to innovation is driven by the continuous pursuit of what’s next. We’re constantly looking at how we can help companies solve packaging pain points, and packaging automation is one of the greatest opportunities for achieving this,” concludes Kysely.
FachPack 2022 attendees can visit Sealed Air in hall 6, stand 6-241.
