“Wrap labels” have been used for OTC medications and other applications for years. It enables a manufacturer to achieve and maintain regulatory compliance on a relatively small container. A contract packaging company recently came to us seeking a different solution due to an ever-increasing label content.
A large US dental supply company was expanding its market into Canada. One of their products is packaged in a relatively small volume and in a small jar. The label covers virtually the entire circumference of the jar, with the English copy utilizing almost all the label surface.
A chemical company wanted to automate the hand applying of large drum labels for all their product offerings. They began working with a label applicator manufacturer to engineer a custom-built device that would apply a roll label up to 25” wide.
Recently I was invited to a meeting to discuss a particular problem a client of ours was having with the high-density polyethylene container jugs for their custom blended products. The client developed a system that would allow a device to mix various ingredients into custom blended products for niche applications.
Every business is in a constant quest to increase efficiencies and reduce costs. In the case of a major US agricultural products company, they were in a quest to reduce lead-times and increase efficiency for corrugated cartons, multiwall bags, and labels by looking for ways to improve the artwork approval process.
