Quality Packaging Specialists International is a leader in contract packaging and supply chain solutions. With 36 years of experience satisfying the world’s best pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, they know how to get the most out of each step in the chain.

That includes their cartoners, where high speeds, repeatable performance and ease-of-use produce high quality packages and maximize efficiencies. QPSI recently installed two Stealth™ horizontal cartoners from MGS Machine at their Macungie, Pa facility.

“Before we selected MGS’ cartoners, we considered multiple suppliers. We compared reliability, changeover time, speed to market, ease of doing business, transparency and price,” says William Hamilton Jr., Senior Vice President of Operations at QPSI. “We chose MGS because they gave us what we were looking for and more. From the beginning, they’ve worked to establish a long-term relationship with us rather than simply looking for a sale. They act like a partner instead of a vendor.”

The Stealth is a high-speed servo-driven continuous-motion horizontal cartoner that achieves speeds of up to 400 cartons/min in a small footprint. It can be equipped with standard or custom-designed infeed modules to handle virtually any primary package including bottles, blister cards, tubes, vials, pouches and more. It accommodates carton sizes from 0.75 x 0.38 x 1.88 in. to 4 x 3 x 8 in. and produces a variety of cartons including all types of tuck and hot melt styles as well as special closures.

“The servo motors on the Stealth cartoner contribute to the machine’s reliability. These cartoners offer accurate and repeatable performance that requires less operator intervention,” notes Hamilton. “The consistency of these cartoners means our operators can be doing something else.”
