Belorta Sort & Pak Service, Borgloon Belguim has chosen the Posie Packer poly bag labelling machine to apply the required labels to the wicketed produce bags used for their pear and apple packaging.
“The key feature that appealed to us” said Dirk Luyck Managing Director of the Sort and Pak Service, “was the ability of the machine to apply 2 labels on the same cycle per bag – significantly cutting our labour costs of applying the mandated labels. The machine is imported from Canada, with sales, service and distribution through Heto of Holland. The support Heto offered was exemplary.
John Vandergrift of Posie Packer said “ I am pleased to see that the machine is being used in the top fruit sector of the European produce industry. To meet today's key issues of food safety and traceability, time sensitive information is required on each consumer package. Poly bags not only are the lowest cost method to package produce, but are also the most environmentally friendly method for packaging. The bags provide a convenient and reliable place to apply time sensitive information labels (traceability, COOL, pull date, best before date) as well as promotional labels. The produce bag labelling machine offers a cost effective accurate alternative to manual application of these mandated labels. I am also pleased with the excellent support provided by my European dealer – Heto.”
