Contract soap packer enhances capacity, efficiency

Stahl Soap installs new U.S.-sourced horizontal flow-wrapper and servo-feed conveyor to meet special customer equirements.

Stahl Soap Corp., East Rutherford, NJ, is a contract manufacturer and packager of bar soaps. Key customers include suppliers to hotel chains throughout the U.S. Typically, Stahl wraps and seals hand soaps in die-fold, printed-film packaging at speeds from 180 to 280/minute, depending on bar shape and size. While its Italy-originated packaging machinery works well, parts and service support has been difficult at times.

Recently, a hotel supplier client requested a new look and style of bar soap packaging with upscale graphics and a proprietary frosted film effect. The client (whose identity is confidential) also wanted Stahl to produce and package these soap bars in a wide range of shapes at high speeds. The bars were to be stamped with the soap trade name. The packaging graphics would then overlay and mimic that trade name. In addition, the client wanted all this without incurring additional contract packaging costs.
