Printer/bagger lets Statcorp pack 'stat'

Maker of blood-pressure cuffs adds an imprinting bagger to cut labor and label costs, while productivity soars.

When a company moves from manual to semi-automatic packaging, there’s usually a nice payoff. If the company is Statcorp—and you add in automatic printing—the savings just keep coming. “Stat,” by the way, is hospital-speak for an emergency.

It didn’t happen quickly or without research. Statcorp tested competing equipment before it selected the BPS-2 Max bagging machine equipped with a thermal-transfer bag imprinter. The system is from Sharp Packaging (Sussex, WI), and Statcorp, based in Jacksonville, FL, was one of the first companies to use it.
