US-based FP International has developed a new innovaton ‘Handle Cut’, a fast and easy method to tear lengths of its NOVUS film from the packaging machine.
The company has introduced this new perforation on its NOVUS Resin Blend air cushions films. This perforation makes separation of the air cushions quicker and simpler. The ‘Handle Cut’ will be applied to all four NOVUS Resin Blend configurations Double Cushion, Supertube, Quilt-Air Large and Quilt-Air Small soon.
With the 10cm opening in the middle of each NOVUS film perforation, the operator can use only one hand to separate the appropriate number of cushions from the NOVUS packaging machine.
This enhancement helps in increasing packaging speeds and boosts convenience for the packer without any extra cost, as reported by mhwmagazine.
The NOVUS packaging machine is one of FP International’s pioneering PMOS (Packaging Materials On Site) systems, which inflate a variety of configurations from large air cushions to quilt/pad shapes. It is the most compact and fastest inflation system on the market, making packaging material on demand whenever and wherever it is required.
The NOVUS packaging machine saves money and space by eliminating the need to store and handle readymade protective packaging and traditional bubble material.
