Scenario: A packaging company was contacted after the customer was having a problem with their present tape-sealing equipment and materials. One of the most common case-sealing problems has to do with using the wrong tape. This mostly results in inconsistent sealing because of environmental issues, low product security, or additional tape use. Using out-of-date sealing tools and hot seal tape, the customer experienced the tape not sealing completely creating damage to their product.
The packaging company executives visited the customer’s facility several times to work through the Tape-it-Right program with the customer.
The initial step for making sure success for this customer was implementing three new sealing machines into their facility. As well, post-testing up to 5 different forms and sizes of tape, they landed on 400 acrylic long roll tape as it is compatible with their sealing equipment and solves their pain area.
The customer is now seeing consistent sealing practices on all their cases along with increased throughput. As well, they will be having their sealing machines serviced on a daily basis by the packaging company’s in-house service team.
