HERMA, a leading manufacturer of precision labeling machines for a variety of sectors, has partnered with one of the nation’s top grocery store chains to enhance efficiency and accuracy of its clamshell salad packaging lines.
The collaboration centers on the integration of HERMA’s high-performance 752C Wrap Labeler and 652C Top & Bottom Labeler into the retailer’s clamshell salad packaging lines. The two solutions are designed to meet the speed and precision demands of modern food production environments.
Following a successful trial and initial installation, the grocery chain has expanded its investment, with over two dozen HERMA systems now fully integrated across multiple production facilities.
“Food labeling is about more than just presentation. It’s about consistency, reliability, and operational speed,” said Gavin Purvis, Director of Sales & Marketing at HERMA US. “Our 752C and 652C models are built to meet the demands of high-volume food producers, and we are thrilled to support a major grocery chain in delivering fresh, clearly labeled salad products to stores nationwide.”
The HERMA 752C Wrap Labeler is ideal for applying full or partial wrap-around labels to cylindrical or rounded containers, while the HERMA 652C Top & Bottom Labeler offers synchronized precision for clamshell packs, applying labels on both the top and bottom surfaces in a single pass. Together, these machines provide a complete solution for labeling retail-ready salad packs efficiently and accurately.
Key benefits of HERMA’s labeling systems include:
- High throughput with consistent labeling accuracy—Up to 60 products/minute in the case of the 752C and up to 250 products/minute in the case of the 652C
- Tool-free adjustments for fast changeovers between product formats
- Compact footprints that integrate seamlessly into existing production lines
- User-friendly touchscreen interfaces and robust machine construction
The growing presence of HERMA US labeling systems in salad packaging lines reflects rising industry demand for automation solutions that meet today’s consumer expectations for speed, consistency, and quality in fresh food packaging.
