In the realm of cartoning machinery, the wisest subjects have a full armor of skills, like efficiency and speed, and offer quick changeovers for maximum flexibility. Add a small footprint for space-savings and a few other user perks, for a royal collection of benefits to satisfy today’s customer.
“Regarding industry trends, the biggest ones we see are ‘count flexibility’ and quick changeover. What I mean by count flexibility is that our customer’s customers are seeking individualized cartons for their products in order to justify different price points. When one big box retailer sells a 12-count carton, their competitors then seek 10-count, 14-count and 15-count cartons to differentiate their price points. This also mandates changeovers, which need to be faster, simpler and more user friendly with each technological advancement,” says Billy Goodman, managing director, Cama Group.
