JLS will showcase its Osprey case packer’s latest feature, which allows for vertical pack of stand-up pouches (SUP), at PACK EXPO. 

The shrink film bundler was designed and manufactured to package liquid soaps and cleansers for a contract packer that manufactures under license for well known brands.

The case packer can be purchased separately or integrated into an automation line.

“Skills gap is worsening in U.S. manufacturing industry” paints a rather dire view on the state of manufacturing for the glass half-empty people, whereas the headline: “Addressing the skills gap in manufacturing” indicates that a more proactive problem-solving approach is occurring for the glass half-full crowd.

Automation is big these days – the simpler, faster, more cost-effective and compact it is, the better off the line will run. Or will it? Thankfully, there will always be a need for packaging line workers.
