Bar Code Scanning Enhancement to Sealed Air’s SpeedyPacker Insight® System Improves Package Consistency, Productivity & Helps Control Costs

DANBURY, Conn. (July 12, 2011) – In line with its commitment to continuous R&D and advancing automated packaging solutions, Sealed Air has enhanced its SpeedyPacker Insight® foam-in-bag system with bar code scanning capabilities, resulting in greater package consistency, increased productivity and an improved bottom line for its customers. The new interface allows customers to utilize their existing unique product identification bar code to automatically initiate a pre-programmed package design and cushion sequence. By automating this process, Sealed Air has reduced the potential for under packaging, which can lead to damage, as well as over packaging, which results in costly packaging waste. Because the packers no longer have to choose which cushions go with which product, the learning curve for new and seasonal labor is dramatically reduced.
