Machine route options

A contract packer may use a chamber sealer for small batches, semi automatic L sealer for flexible work, automatic L sealer for repeat cartons and sleeve sealer for grouped packs.

Quotation approach

Provide a product range rather than one ideal pack. The largest, smallest and most awkward products are the best starting point for specification.
