Folding and Holding It Together

New and liberating technology

There is a slew of advanced folding and gluing equipment on the market that is designed to unburden a converter and its operators from one or more aspects of the work required of their processes.

In addition, notes AIM Technical Manager Jeff Wilcox, with the signing of the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 by President Bush last May, packaging converters of all sizes are finding it feasible to invest in new equipment. The result is a larger demand for new machines rather than used, Wilcox said.
