One size fits<br />
all for sealing<br />
and height on the fly. This makes it ideal<br />
for dispatch operations where the case<br />
sizes are constantly varying.<br />
In operation, the Vario 588 case sealer<br />
automatically measures the height of<br />
the contents of the case and cuts the<br />
box down to just above the level of the<br />
contents. The taping mechanism moves<br />
to locate the tape line over the flap edge.<br />
The resulting case is designed to look<br />

which makes flexibility the<br />
new mantra. The Vario 588 case sealer<br />
from Opitz Maschinentechnik has been<br />
designed to meet these needs as it can<br />
handle packs of different footprints and<br />

dispatch operations to minimise costs<br />
associated with dead space inside the<br />
box so that costly backfill products<br />
are no longer needed and shipping costs<br />
are therefore reduced.<br />
The environmental and financial<br />
benefits of these material reductions are<br />
self-evident and Gregor Rauch, md of UK<br />
agency Raupack, says the Optiz volume<br />
reducing box sealer is a machine that<br />
pays: both to the customer and to the<br />
environment.<br />
