Print Solutions Packaging Solutions

Antalis Packaging has announced the addition of the 3M Matic Case Sealing range to its portfolio, further strengthening its end of line packaging automation offering. This expansion enables it to provide customers with a complete case sealing solution, including case sealing machines, taping heads and tapes.

By integrating the 3M Matic range alongside its existing case sealers, Antalis Packaging is giving customers greater choice, flexibility and confidence when automating their packaging operations.

The range is designed to eliminate costly and inconsistent manual taping, delivering reliable, high speed and repeatable seals at the end of the packaging line. Customers can choose from adjustable models, ideal for long runs of uniform box sizes, or random models that automatically adjust to varying case dimensions which are perfect for operations handling mixed size cartons.

The range consists of:

3M Matic Random Case Sealer 7000r Pro / 7000r3 ProDesigned for handling mixed carton sizes, these machines automatically adjust to both case height and width. Capable of sealing up to 24 case sizes per minute, they deliver flexibility, speed and consistent performance.

3M Matic Adjustable Case Sealer 7000a Pro/7000a3 ProIdeal for uniform box runs, this adjustable case sealer offers durability and reliability. With interchangeable two inch or three inch AccuGlide 3 taping heads, it supports evolving production needs while sealing up to 40 cases per minute.

3M Matic Case Sealer 8000af/8000af3A fully automatic flap folding case sealer that seals both top and bottom flaps. Built with welded steel construction and advanced safety features, it delivers consistent sealing performance for high-throughput operations, sealing up to 40 cases per minute.

Investing in case sealing equipment offers measurable operational advantages, including, increased speed and throughput compared to manual taping, improved efficiency and consistency, reduced tape usage, as machines apply the exact amount required, enhanced workplace safety, helping to limit repetitive strain injuries, lower labour costs and more predictable packaging performance.

Steve Marples, category manager, said: ‘As businesses look ahead to the coming year, now is the ideal time to evaluate end of line packaging processes. Investing early in automated case sealing equipment allows organisations to reap productivity and cost benefits as soon as possible, while also making smart use of any remaining capital budget ahead of the next financial year.

‘Antalis Packaging’s machinery experts are on hand to advise and support, helping customers identify the most suitable case sealing solution for their operation. In addition to case sealers, Antalis also offers case erectors, enabling a fully integrated case handling solution from box forming through to sealing.’
