UK-based Denhay Farms has integrated Ravenwood\u2019s linerless technology to automate its bacon sleeve packaging operations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Established in 1952, Denhay has been crafting bacon for approximately 30 years. Its products are available through domestic retailers Waitrose and Sainsbury\u2019s, as well as Ocado and Amazon Fresh.<\/p>\n

Denhay has installed two Ravenwood Nobac 5000 linerless applicators, streamlining its production processes and reducing reliance on manual labour.<\/p>\n

The company has also joined forces with ProPrint Group, a domestic provider of linerless printing, to help produce the new linerless sleeves.<\/p>\n

The switch to linerless technology aligns with Denhay\u2019s strategy to enhance staff welfare and optimise spending.<\/p>\n

Denhay implemented the fully automated labelling system across all its own-label sliced bacon products, including the Spoilt Pig brand and wholesale catering packs.<\/p>\n

In addition to enhancing packaging efficiency, the technology has reduced storage and shipping space due to the compact nature of linerless reels compared to traditional manual sleeves.<\/p>\n

Before this change, employees reportedly dedicated long hours to repetitive manual sleeving tasks. With the transition to linerless, staff now have more time to concentrate on other aspects of production.<\/p>\n

During the transition, Denhay said it aimed to maintain the appearance and feel of its original cardboard sleeves.<\/p>\n

The company stated that the new sleeves, supplied on a roll and cut to size by the applicator, are designed to meet these aesthetic standards.<\/p>\n

The lack of backing paper offers a sustainable solution, according to Denhay.<\/p>\n

Denhay Farms managing director Jim Loescher said: \u201cWe\u2019re absolutely thrilled with how seamlessly the linerless applicators and our new linerless sleeves have integrated into our production process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe machines have transformed our labelling operations, making it faster and more efficient, while the sleeves provide a premium, high-quality solution that perfectly complements Denhay\u2019s brand.\u201d<\/p>\n
