UK-based corrugated packaging specialist GWP Group has significantly enhanced its production capabilities with the installation of new automated taping equipment.<\/p>\n

The machinery, which went live earlier this month, is primarily dedicated to producing taped boxes with integrated tear strips, a packaging format in high demand from e-commerce retailers across the south-west of England.<\/p>\n

The company said initial production runs have yielded impressive results, with output increasing by up to 16 times compared to previous methods.<\/p>\n

This productivity boost is attributed to the equipment\u2019s integration with the company\u2019s existing machinery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new equipment makes us considerably more efficient when producing taped cartons for our e-commerce customers. The growth in this sector, particularly during the pandemic years, means that this equipment will create benefit for many of our customers,\u201d said David Mason, sales manager at GWP Packaging.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe initial results, in terms of both the output and the quality of the packs we are producing, are very encouraging.\u201d<\/p>\n
