Shamrock Packaging

Although case formers do a simple job – erecting shipping boxes – they are deceptively complex pieces of packaging equipment. With a lot of moving parts and sophisticated controls, the right case former speeds production, saves space once occupied by manually pre-formed cases, and enables packaging line employees to devote time to more productive activities. The wrong case former, on the other hand, is a source of continual bottlenecks and performance issues. And because there are so many options, it takes a reliable, experienced packaging automation partner like SPG to make the right choice.

A corrugated carton is the centerpiece of secondary packaging.

Take advantage of our decades of corrugated experience and expertise, and our full product offering, to procure corrugated cartons that minimize your cost and maximize your efficiency.

Stretch wrap film, introduced in the 1970s, is still the most efficient way to palletize or unitize a load. However, since film technology never stands still, maximizing your packaging efficiency and minimizing cost requires ongoing film evaluation.

Molded fiber trays and thermoformed trays serve as a popular alternative to other disposable packaging. Some fiber trays can degrade in a compost facility, and provide a "green" image for retailers to their clientele. At SPG, we work with retailers and commissaries to find the right tray for the application. Take advantage of our warehousing programs to improve space utilization in your facility and reduce inventory costs.

A corrugated or plastic partition is a great packaging option, as it eliminates the need for inner packing materials, strengthens the shipping container, and, in many cases, greatly reduces product damage and returns. Taken together, all of these advantages can more than offset the material cost of corrugated partitions in your operation.

Whether you seal manually or have a tape sealing machine, using the right carton sealing tape makes the difference between a smooth-running packaging line and an inefficient one; between a secure shipping carton and one that may be damaged in shipment.

Improved product appearance. In some cases, a stock label is like fitting a square peg in a round hole. A custom label, in the optimum size and with high quality printing, will give your product more shelf appeal. Improved packaging line efficiency. Stock labels work best in low-volume, manual applications. If your business is growing or needs labeling to keep up with rapid production rates, a custom label in the correct size and put-up will prevent bottlenecks. Reduced cost. Economics vary from application to application, but in many situations, custom labels can substantially reduce material cost.
