e-Commerce packaging lines
can handle paper and plastics
Hugo Beck has launched
two new machines
specifically designed
to meet the demands of
e-Commerce packaging that
are now available in the UK
through Yorkshire Packaging
Systems (YPS).
The top of the range
PB 800 E-Com can pack
products in either paper
or plastic film, delivering
the flexibility and choice in
sustainable packaging styles
and substrates – all from
one machine.
Automatically adapting the
bag size to the dimensions of
the product, the new PB 800
E-Com is Hugo Beck’s most
flexible and efficient machine,
packing goods of up to 800 mm
width by 200 mm height and
700 mm length. Both uncoated
and coated paper can be used
for producing bags with two
glued or sewn sides plus a top
overlap. When using film, the
patented tight bag packaging
ensures there is a minimum
excess with only as much film
being used as is needed.
“These exceptional

e-Commerce systems offer the
versatility required by this paced and expanding sector
fastas
it responds to customer
demands for pack integrity,
data security and speed, as
well as the wider global calls
for sustainable and recyclable
packaging materials,” explains
Glyn Johnson, managing
director at YPS. “Any e-retailer
equipped with the E-COM
range can respond swiftly
and easily to a variety of
contracts or product lines,
thereby future-proofing their
operation for years to come.
One paper pack design
“At YPS, we can complement
Hugo Beck’s ground-breaking
machines with both recyclable
plastic film and recyclable
paper flexibles for a total
solution that’s ideal for any
online retailer,” he tells
Machinery Update.
Alongside the PB 800
E-Com machine, and for
those who are looking to pack
with film only, the new flexo
600 E-Com machine packs
e-Commerce goods to the
highest standards, minimising
film use and maximising
results both with and without
shrinking of the film bags.
Designed to process products
with a width of up to 600 mm
and a height of 300 mm,
a quick changeover adjusts
between product batches
or, as an option, the machine
can automatically adapt
to changes in a product’s
length, height or width.
Speed and flexibility are
key to the design of both
machines and as they are
connectable to customer’s
ERP or control systems, both
machines can also be easily
integrated within a production
line. Additional options
include the ability to add an
easy-opening perforation
to the packaging as well as
inserting a double-sided
adhesive tape for resealing a
bag for returns. An integrated
scanner with a controller for
product detection and creation
of a shipping label can also
be included on the line for
additional capability.
