Tissue roll manufacturers use Logopak
Logopak has completed installation of two major print & apply labelling systems involving a total of 29 machines – six of them double height pallet labellers – at the Bolton and South Wales plants of one of the UK's principal paper tissue roll manufacturers. Fully integrated with the plants' own management information systems, the labellers also help keep track of production progress, allowing real time presentation of efficiency statistics, from initial creation of jumbo rolls of tissue through to output of finished product on pallets. Initially, the project was to provide GS1 transit labels on pallets stacked two high, but Logopak saw that major cost savings could be achieved by using print & apply machines to identify bundles of primary packs in place of the plastic strips and ink jet printers previously employed. As a result, a total of 18 Logopak 515 print & apply machines have been installed to label bundles of tissue prior to palletising. These labels include retailer codes and other shipping information but also carry programming instructions for the stretchwrapper. For more information call 01904 692333 or email
