Quarter II Newsletter
Starview’s FAB8-1418 and FAB8-1824 machines are offered with an additional automatic feeding station as shown above. This makes the FAB Series machines ideal for automated packaging of double card trapped blister packages.
The front card is placed by Feeder #1; the blister is inserted into the die cut in the front card by Feeder #2. Operators place the products into the blister and Feeder #3 places the back card.
The
double card trapped blister packages are quickly replacing the traditional
clamshell packages.
The cards can be produced from typical SBS blister card materials
or from advanced
design
film reinforced board such as Natralock from MWV and Safe-Pak from
International Paper.
Blisters may be
produced from PVC films but are increasingly manufactured from RPET
films. For
a completely
recyclable package the blister is simply trapped and not sealed to the
cards.
Specially
machined face plates are used to provide the selective sealing patterns to
avoid sealing the
board to the plastic.
Starview’s exclusive quick-change feature for changing these plates
allow them to be
changed quickly, while hot and without hand tools. Complete changeover of
the machine
between package designs can be made in 20 minutes or
less. How
many of your customers are ready to convert to sustainable
packages?
