You know that carton packaging ‘tells’ a consumer that your ready meal or packaged meat is superior quality. You’ve baulked at using it because the carton sleeves have to be applied by hand, and this would slow down your production process.
Well, now they don’t.
At Foodpro, Le Mac is introducing the heavy gauge LSL system (demonstrated on its LSL500 machine) that can automatically apply premium cardboard sleeves to such packs that normally require hand-application, and can do it while maintaining high operating speeds.Premium packaging and automation no longer have to be mutually exclusive.
Le Mac’s LSL500 machine wraps cardboard around the food trays fast and can actually adhere it to the tray if desired, preventing the cardboard sleeves from being swapped in store.
The technology is already finding wide acceptance in the UK where ready meals and premium meat cuts/ready to cook meat dishes are increasingly popular, as they are here, and for the same reasons - more and more, both ‘foodie’ and ‘time poor’ describe everyday people.
It is also being used in the UK by the largest meat processors and supermarkets and is gaining traction in new markets including poultry, salads, pastry and cakes.
Le Mac is the first and only company in Australia to offer an automatic sleeving option for premium cardboard tray sleeves.
