Thermoformed And Packaged by Costco

Costco developed two customized packaging machines for package assembly and sealing associated with this new packaging format. A machine is located at each of its packaging operations, in Costco’s Monroe, NJ, plant, and National City, CA.

At its Monroe plant, Costco uses thermoforming equipment and semi-automatic sealing machinery from Sencorp (www.sencorp-inc.com)

The custom in-line sealing machine operates at rates around 15 cycles/min. It has five automated pick-and-place stations and one to six operator stations for product filling. The sealer’s placement sequence before sealing is as follows: front SBS card, E-flute pad, front blister, product, back blister, and lastly, rear SBS card.
