The Must-haves for any Packaging or Filling Operation
If you’re in the packaging business, then you know that having the right equipment is essential to your success. In this blog post, we will discuss five pieces of equipment that are crucial to packaging operations: laser scribing and filling equipment. Let’s take a closer look at each one of these machines.
Filling Equipment
Filling equipment is used in a wide variety of packaging applications. This type of machinery is responsible for filling containers with product, and can include both manual and automated options. Automated filling machines are typically used in high-volume packaging operations, as they are able to fill containers more quickly and accurately than their manual counterparts.
When it comes to filling equipment, it’s all about how many containers you need to fill and what type of product you’re packaging. If you’re packaging a product that is sensitive to oxygen, for example, you’ll need a machine that can accurately control the amount of product being dispensed. There are many different types of filling machines on the market, so it’s important to do your research and find one that best suits your packaging needs.
Laser Scribing

Many operations use laser scribers to create lot codes and expiration dates that are unable to be adulterated. This is necessary in such industries such as pharmaceuticals and food.
Tray Formers
Tray formers are packaging machines that are used to form cardboard boxes. This type of machine is typically used in packaging operations that require a high volume of boxes to be produced. Tray formers can be either semi-automatic or fully automatic, with the latter being able to produce more boxes per hour.
Case Openers
The inverse of forming a case, would be opening one. Case openers are packaging machines that are used to open cardboard boxes. This type of machine is typically used in packaging operations where a high volume of boxes need to be opened, such as for inspection or sorting purposes.
Conveyer Belts
A packaging line is not complete without some form of conveyance system. A conveyor belt is often used in packaging applications to move product from one station to the next. Conveyor belts come in a variety of sizes and can be either fixed or portable.
When choosing equipment for your packaging operation, it’s important to consider your specific needs. These five pieces of equipment are just some of the many options that are available on the market. Do your research and find the machines that best suit your needs.
