Bar code scanning enhancement to Sealed Air’s SpeedyPacker Insight® system improves package consistency, productivity and helps control costs.

Sealed Air has enhanced its SpeedyPacker Insight® foam-in-bag system with bar code scanning capabilities, in line with the company’s commitment to Research & Development and advancing automated packaging solutions.

The system brings greater package consistency, increased productivity and a better bottom line for its customers. SpeedyPacker Insight®’s new interface allows customers to utilise their existing unique product identification bar code to automatically initiate a pre-programmed package design and cushion sequence.
By automating this process, Sealed Air has reduced the potential for under packaging, which can lead to damage, as well as over packaging, which results in costly packaging waste. To programme the system, users simply input design and sequence information into a spreadsheet, which is then uploaded onto the SpeedyPacker Insight® system through a USB drive. A single USB can be used to download the information to multiple systems, eliminating the need to manually programme each system through the operator touch screen.
Once the spreadsheet is loaded, the system can store unique information for thousands of bar codes, while changes and additions can easily be made in seconds by downloading updated spreadsheets. To make the bar code programming as effortless as possible for customers, Sealed Air’s expertly trained sales and account representatives can perform a complete packaging audit of customer operations to ensure seamless integration.
Simon Davies, Product manager for Instapak®, said; “Our customers are looking for easy and cost effective ways to incorporate consistency, efficiency and cost control methods into their packaging operations without interrupting their existing product flow. The incorporation of bar code scanning into our existing SpeedyPacker Insight® system means that our customers will benefit from a faster, easier and more productive packaging process.”
The SpeedyPacker Insight® system is a fast and flexible solution capable of producing traditional foam-in-bag cushions as well as Continuous Foam Tubes (CFTs) for virtually any application. Ideal for online and integrated production assembly lines, the system can be used with any of Sealed Air’s Instapak® foam formulations and SpeedyPacker® film.
