| GoBox 2500 CL foldable crate |
|
| Description |
Companies in the retail sector can achieve significant cost savings with the GoBox 2500 CL, a new foldable crate, only available in the UK through Goplasticboxes.com.
Russell Smith, the company’s plastic box specialist, said: “What makes this crate unique is its locking system. A latch beneath the handle locks the crate’s side walls securely into place, but when lifted, the latch collapses the box flat, which can offer businesses considerable cost savings on return journey transportation. Unlike most foldable boxes, the GoBox 2500 CL makes virtually no sound when both erected or folded down, so it can help reduce noise pollution in food packing areas and supermarkets.”
A standard truck can hold up to 7,788 flat-packed crates – 33 stacks of 236 crates per pallet – ensuring minimal wastage space in transit. Fewer return journey trips can help businesses reduce their expenditure and improve their carbon footprint, making the GoBox 2500 CL an eco-friendly solution for goods transportation.
The GoBox 2500 CL has been ergonomically designed with a number of useful built-in features. Improvements to the crate’s base allow superior drainage for industrial washing and better airflow, offering optimum product protection. Label holders at each end of the crate provide clear barcode visibility, making it easier for customers to identify their products throughout the supply chain.
Optional features include corporate personalisation with a logo moulded on both sides of the crate; RFID location points at the ends and sides of the crate, allowing businesses to track their goods; and a variety of different single colour and two-colour options.
The GoBox 2500 CL is available in two versions – solid (LRS) and perforated (LRP) – and is manufactured in recycled and virgin materials. The crate measures 600mm (L) x 400mm (D) x 221mm (H) when standing and 52mm (H) when folded, and it weighs 2.2kg.

| Hygienic Plastic Pallet |
|
| Description |
Goplasticpallets.com has introduced a new pure yellow pallet to its range of hygienic plastic pallets to illustrate the high quality colour matches it achieves working with Belgian manufacturer, IPS.
Jim Hardisty, Managing Director of Goplasticpallets.com, said: “Pure yellow is a colour that many pallet manufacturers struggle to achieve, and sadly brown/grey tints have become an industry standard. Since we introduced the first hygienic pallet to our range, we have been working closely with IPS to develop the design and colour options. The pure yellow hygienic pallet is the latest addition to our range.”
The IPS hygienic pallet is manufactured using the finest quality food grade virgin HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and has totally smooth, sealed surfaces. It can therefore be easily cleaned, manually or with an automated system.
The pallet is available from stock in two styles – a 1200mm (L) x 800mm (W) Non Perimeter version and a 1200mm (L) x 1000mm Full Perimeter version – and seven single colour options including blue, green, red, white, grey, beige and black. Businesses can now also order the pallet in pure yellow, and for orders in excess of 500 units, they can have their pallets coloured in any colour of their choice or choose from one of Goplasticpallets.com’s 84 two-colour options.
The IPS hygienic pallet is particularly popular with the food service industry. Goplasticpallets.com has recently taken orders from a number of major food manufacturers, including Nestlé UK, Kellogg’s, Cadbury Kenya Ltd and Vion Food.

| Weber 5300 Print & Apply Applicator |
|
| Description |
High-resolution printing and high-speed operation combined with a diverse selection of label application methods.
• Modular design provides eight different label application configurations
• Choose from a wide range of 203-, 300- and 600-dpi print engines
• Capable of handling print speeds up to 16 ips
• Numerous I/O's ease interfacing with external devices
• Monitor operation via a web browser
• Available with RFID capability
Weber’s Model 5300 system is redefining the meaning of versatility in pressure-sensitive label printing and application.
In addition to offering a broad selection of high-quality print engines that feature various print resolutions and label dispensing rates, the Model 5300 system is available with optional RFID print-encode engines.
Standard direct- and thermal-transfer print engines from manufacturers Zebra, Sato and Datamax produce text, bar codes and graphic images at 203-, 300- or 600-dpi. The Zebra-based RFID models combine these printing capabilities with the encoding and verification of RFID inlays to meet EPC Gen 2 protocols.
Modular Design
The Model 5300 printer-applicator system’s modular design provides one standard system, yet a choice of eight distinct methods of label application that are accurate to ±0.03 inch:
• Tamp-blow. This is a very popular method of air-assisted label placement used with standard applications, and is particularly useful in the labeling of recessed areas. A printed label is fed onto a tamp pad and held by vacuum, a pneumatic cylinder extends to within .25 inch of the product, and the label is blown onto its surface.
• Air-blow. Another air-assisted process. The label is blown onto the product from a fixed distance without the aid of a pneumatic cylinder.
• Direct tamp. This method is similar to tamp-blow, but the flexible tamp pad makes direct contact with the product during application.
• Swing-tamp. Labels are applied to the front or back of a product using a 90-degree swing arm applicator and tamp-blow technology.
• Twin-tamp. Special rotary arm enables the application of two labels to the front and side of a product; or its side and back; or one label can be placed on the front, side or back of an item using tamp-blow technology.
• Corner-wrap. One label is wrapped around the corner of a case using an articulating, contact method of application.
• Dual-Label. For the printing and two-label, adjacent side labeling of pallets in line.
• Electric tamp-blow. Electrically-operated cylinder extends to the product and the label is blown onto its surface. Ideal for very high-speed labeling.
In addition, an optional secondary label wipe-down station is available as a complement to any of the above application methods. Quick-change tamp pads also may be ordered to accommodate various label sizes.
The Model 5300 labeling system’s modular design ensures that the system can be reconfigured to address subsequent print-and-apply labeling requirements. This modularity can preclude the future acquisition of an additional printer-applicator.
Special Features & Options
The Model 5300 system includes a number of noteworthy features that add to the operational versatility of this printer-applicator:
• Browser-based monitoring. The status of all operational functions and configurations can be monitored by logging on to a web page that is unique to each Model 5300 unit.
• Numerous I/O's. The system can be interfaced with many types of external devices.
• One-to-one media consumption. Special label unwind and rewind dimensions are matched to the system’s ribbon supply to ensure they are consumed at the same rate, reducing downtime and eliminating partial changeovers.
• Print job storage. Multiple label printing formats can be stored in the system’s memory, making it easier for an operator to select a job directly from the applicator instead of downloading a computer file.
The Model 5300 system boasts numerous additional features as well, including an upgradeable microprocessor controller, various inputs/outputs, plus durable construction that will withstand harsh industrial environments.
There also are several optional enhancements that can increase the system’s functionality. A product height sensor, for example, enables the printer-applicator to label items of varying heights delivered by the same conveyor.
Other options include a 15-foot umbilical connection that enables the remote location of the unit’s controller; an adjustable stand for optimum system orientation; label-on-pad and product-presence sensors; plus beacon light alerts to signal the status of label and ribbon supplies.
