High-speed digital video recorders help P&G analyze packaging line problems

At its packaging facility in Seaton Delaval, Northumberland, England, Procter & Gamble UK contract packages a range of premium perfume products in container sizes from 30mL to 125mL. Brand names include Dolce & Gabanna, Lacoste, Hugo Boss, Laura Biagotti, and Baldessarini.

Accommodation of this broad variety of perfumes, containers, dispenser pumps, closures, labels, and cartons (provided by multiple, undisclosed suppliers) requires diligent attention to details on the P&G packaging lines.
