Packaging Quality (CONT’D FROM PAGE 18)
es due to packaging issues add up quickly. The Impact Of Packaging Quality
The improvement seen by the food company came from one simple change: higher-quality boxes. Before switching suppliers, the company faced frequent jams and slowdowns on automated lines. Once Accurate Box took over production of its litho-laminated packaging, those issues dissipated. With boxes that ran smoothly at full speed, the company maximized productivity. In high-volume environments, small disruptions can snowball into major delays. But when packaging works in harmony with automation, it keeps lines running at full speed, eliminates unnecessary waste, and helps teams hit their targets with fewer headaches. The Bottom Line Accurate Box’s investment in state-of-the-art equip- ment and structural design capabilities ensures its pack- aging runs consistently on automated lines. This reliability translates into less downtime, smoother runs, and ulti- mately higher throughput at lower operating costs for its customers. “Our mission is to go beyond delivering boxes. We deliver consistency, quality, and reliability,” added Hirsh. “When packaging is done right, it drives productivity.” For more information about Accurate Box Company, visit www.accuratebox.com .
