Water Activated Tape & New Solutions
The increasing capillarity and complexity of the requests for supply and delivery of the product to the end customer has alerted manufacturers, who are now looking for packaging solutions that reduce risks, simplify operations and comply with environmental standards. In particular, the research focused on solutions aimed at obtaining greater safety in the closure of the packaging, ecological compliance of the packaging in support of sustainability objectives, operational efficiency and extreme versatility of use in the various product sectors.
Recent sector studies have identified this solution in the use of water-activated tape coupled with manual or automatic end-of-line packaging systems.
The simplest and easiest solution to apply is the one made by WAT tape and tabletop dispensers. https://www.evi-italia.com/dispenser-carta-gommata.html
In this regard, international industry studies predict that the market for water-activated tape dispensers (and related belt) will grow considerably and steadily in the coming years, increasingly fueled by the automation needs required by end-of-line stations.
The need to process requests quickly requires practical and transversal solutions; The adoption of systems that use WAT tape is essential because:
- We move “in no time” to sustainable packaging: the operational problems generated by the pressure related to the introduction of specific regulations and the requests of customers oriented towards the replacement of plastic tapes with biodegradable tapes activated by water are immediately satisfied.
- With the “e-commerce boom” increasing global parcel and shipping volumes requires tamper-evident and stronger sealing.
- With increased automation and efficiency, integration with automated packaging lines is reducing costs and increasing productivity.
As manufacturing companies adopt automation and legislative bodies tighten restrictions on plastic packaging, the use of WAT tape solutions will continue to grow rapidly, pointing to this choice as a strategic investment for companies preparing for the next decade of global trade.
The advantages deriving from the implementation of solutions that use WAT tape and semi/automatic or automatic devices for end-of-line packaging are countless. https://www.evi-italia.com/en/nastratrici.html
Tabletop dispensers, manual, semi-automatic, and automatic taping machines help speed up the production line, eliminate bottlenecks, reduce operator fatigue and injuries, produce excellent quality, and save money in the long run.
In a practical way, it can be seen that, with this solution, operators work in a healthier and safer way; End-of-line packaging automation equipment limits fatigue and reduces the risk of operator injuries as a result of repeated movements during the work shift.
Automation of end-of-line packaging increases overall productivity; moreover, with WAT taping you get a high-quality seal that guarantees the seal of closure, avoiding breakage or damage to the packaging during transport, which is extremely useful if you consider the fact that the statistical reports on the cases of complaints during shipping indicate reserves of collection of the package around 10 – 15% for damage or tampering.
Finally, in addition to all the benefits of including end-of-line packaging automation in your workflow, there is one extremely important benefit to consider: cost savings.
Higher quality work means less product damage, happier customers, and fewer disputes/re-shipments and replacements.
Overall, the automation of end-of-line packaging is a simple and effective way to improve business activities and protect the related profits; the use of WAT tape makes the packaging 100% environmentally friendly and allows the customer to dispose of it in a single solution, eliminating the costs for separate disposal.
In this area, EVi® offers its experience, with innovative solutions that have resulted in the creation of a range of countertop dispensers and a series of high-performance taping machines.
In addition to the specially developed and patented automation solutions, EVi® combines the proposal of a customized series of WAT tape that can be identified as: without reinforcement, reinforced with longitudinal, transverse or sinusoidal wires (in several combinations) and with rhomboidal weave reinforcement, for heavy-duty uses that cover every operational need of the packaging.
If interested, EVi’s® operational experience is available to share and implement customized solutions and products necessary to optimize the continuous needs of a constantly evolving market that is always looking for new proposals that are extremely environmentally friendly.
