SHORT DELIVERY TIME

CUSTOMER:
International manufacturer of coffee and tea products


PRODUCT:
Commercially available vacuum coffee packaging


PACKAGING SOLUTION of emkon.:
emkon. SURROUNDER

Eye-catching and cost-effective - these are the requirements for packaging at the point-of-sale. The attention of consumers and ultimately the purchasing is the goal. Especially in a shelf full of standardized products, such as vacuum packaging of coffee, this is a challenge.

Our customer had its packaging innovation precisely in mind: individual, innovative and material-saving. The emkon. team was supposed to provide the appropriate packaging machine. Start of production? Preferably immediately.

With the new development of the wrapping machine emkon. Surrounder we accurately respond to the needs of our customers. When was the start of production? Just 180 days after the order has been placed.

CUSTOMER REQUIRMENT:

  • Increased attention by individual banderoles
  • Saving of packaging materials by eliminating the paper full wrap around
  • Handling of different packaging units
  • Tightness check
  • Fastest possible market launch

 

emkon. SOLUTION:

The emkon. SURROUNDER checks the coffee packages for vacuum tightness. The units audited are wrapped with exactly tailored banderoles. Varying product characteristics such as rough surfaces and different flap positions are not a problem for attaching the banderoles. The correct placement of those is monitored by camera use. The rapid exchange of the banderoles allows easy switching to other designs and language versions.

 

CONCRETE CUSTOMER BENEFITS:

  • Attention: Packaging can be individualized by banderoles and immediately be adapted to market requirements
  • Cost saving: Reduced use of packaging material
  • Flexibility: A system for different packaging sizes and weights
  • Variability: Simple change to other materials (eg. lacquered foils)
  • Logistical Optimization: products are produced "blanco", according to needs they can be fitted with individual banderoles (language / design)
