Food packagers are having a hard time responding to changing products and sizes using dedicated packaging lines. Flexibility and cost control are essential, and many of them are finding that traditional equipment just isn’t cut out for this new environment. The traditional packaging line concept focuses on creating a purpose-built line that runs high volumes for extended periods of time (multiple shifts or days between changeovers).

The flexible packaging cell format demands that industry alter its mindset of the past several decades. To successfully compete in today’s market, packagers need to update their packaging capabilities and invest in more agile, responsive systems.
