EAS packet placer

In a collaboration with Sensormatic Electronics (Deerfield Beach, FL), George Gordon Associates (Nashua, NH) has developed a new machine that places elect-ronic ar-ticle surveilance (EAS) labels or "packets" inside rigid containers.

Nov 30, 1995

The PPS-250EAS Packet Placing System applies labels directly into a container at speeds to 150 cycles/min. It employs a stepper motor and an electric eye to mark the frequency of a continuous stream of EAS labels. It then cuts and places the label in a predetermined spot.

How can polypropylene, one of the most widely used plastics in consumer packaging, be diverted from landfills or incinerators? Packaging World Senior Editor, Anne Marie Mohan, sits down with Professor Edward Kosior, CEO and founder of Nextek and Nextloopp. They discuss how the Nextloopp initiative is uniting stakeholders across the packaging supply chain to enable the closed-loop recycling of food-grade PP.

Lightweighting continues to drive measurable progress in packaging reduction. Coca-Cola’s redesigned bottles, shown here across several brands, lower PET weight from 21 g to 18.5 g for key sizes, a 12% reduction expected to cut PET use by 3 megatons by 2025.
