The first machine introduced on the market is the E-CO Flex: this pack station consolidates multiple stations into a single unit, improving productivity, efficiency, and profitability while also supporting green initiatives and reducing plant space needs compared to current multi-pack station setups. For the first time on show at INTERPACK 2023.
The E-CO Flex simplifies E-fulfillment packaging by selecting the best-fit box size for the product and connecting to the customer’s WMS system.
It erects and tapes the bottom of the box, using traditional or water-activated tape, and adds any necessary identification stickers. The result is a pre-assembled container presented to the operator, who simply inserts the items to be shipped and secures them with the required amount of cushioning material. The operator reinserts the open-faced box back into the machine where the remaining void is measured: if necessary, the E-CO Flex will automatically reduce the height of the box and then close it.
The E-CO Flex is fruit of a partnership with the American based Company Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (“IPG”), a global leader of packaging and protective solution, which provided the Water-Activated Tape (WAT) closure technology featured in the machine.
