3M Adds New Specialty Packaging Automation Capabilities

Specialty Automation Available for a Wide Variety of Case Sealing Challenges

PACK EXPO, Booth #N-3319 – 3M today unveiled a series of Specialty Automation enhanced for 3M-MaticTM Case Sealers. The enhancements address a variety of packaging challenges common to the apparel, floral, agricultural, fulfillment or food industries as well as to other customers needing to ship small cartons, heavy products or mixed cases.

“Our engineers are always working to address the unique issues of packaging and shipping professionals,” said Gary Robbins, U.S. equipment marketing manager, 3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Division. “Whether dealing with new packaging materials, carton sizes and configurations, or even unusual environments, we can help speed up packaging and shipping processes with the right combination or custom specialty automation of 3M equipment and tape products.”

3M experts will be on-site at Pack-Expo 2012 to discuss customization to solve specific issues. They will also demonstrate 3M-Matic equipment with specialty automation features, including:

  • Equipment with six inch taping heads to seal wide-gapped flaps with a single C-clip
  • Equipment for situations where the operator needs to bypass taping for specialized handling of cartons
  • Equipment featuring a photo-eye activated edge-sealing taping head
  • Equipment featuring L-Clip taping heads to seal tab lock or mailer style cartons
