Avoid packaging waste - banding instead of wrapping

Whether customer or salesman, everyone is increasingly paying attention to avoiding waste packaging and conserving the resources of the environment for themselves and for generations to come. This is exactly where A+P Service Peter Schiffmann e.K. comes in with  a banding machine for a variety of applications, especially in the fruit and vegetable sector.

Carton punnets of all kinds
In order to get away from packaging films, A+P Service has developed a cardboard tray that protects the goods while also being recyclable. "Not only apples and pears but also difficult products such like avocados, persimmons, oranges, tangerines, grapefruit etc. can be held together and packed in this bowl with a single banderole," says managing director Peter Schiffmann.

Just like the punnet, the banderole is recyclable, confirms Schiffmann. An integrated printer that will print all important data (logo, EAN code, lot number, size, etc.) directly onto the banderole, will make a label unnecessary.

Easy handling
Through the same system, goods without carriers like bananas, rhubarb, leek, etc. can be banded and priced. "A versatile machine that impresses people not only through its environmental friendliness but also trough its simple handling. It is unnecessary to change the machine from carrier goods to goods without carriers," Schiffmann says.
