Solve Common Multipack Challenges
We offer advanced features to streamline production and enhance the consumer experience:
- Perforations can be added to facilitate the opening of the multipack. If additional help is needed, tear tape can be tagged on for performance improvement.
- Blockout inks can be used to cover up the UPC barcodes from the individual containers that are being wrapped. Rather than sticking labels on individual items to cover the UPCs, blockout inks save labour and time by ensuring only the multipack barcode is scanned. Blockout inks also increase the legibility of the graphics on the multipack sleeve by preventing the graphics of the individual containers from showing through.
- Heat activated adhesive can be used to secure the units within the pack or to create a straight wall of containers. The adhesive does not leave any residue.
- Trays and pucks can be used to align the containers and keep the containers stable during packaging.
