Butler Automatic says its film splicers such as the SP1 Automatic Splicer can make pre-applied zipper film easy to incorporate into existing packaging lines.
As a result, these splicers greatly increase profitability and reduce lead time for reclosable packaging.
The automatic splicers are engineered with a small footprint, and are custom built to fit on the front end of virtually any flexible film packaging line.
They also make reclosable packaging retrofits a possibility for many packaging lines.
Rolls of pre-applied zipper film are less dense than traditional film roll stock, leading to fewer impressions per roll and therefore less time between roll changes.
Automatic splicing eliminates the downtime of these additional roll changes, dramatically improving the profitability of packaging with pre-applied zipper film.
