AFA’s strength is in innovation and end of line packaging expertise. Between Langen Packaging Inc and AFA Systems Ltd. over 10,000 end of line case packaging and palletizing systems have been delivered to manufacturers throughout the globe. Relatively small modifications are required to the global manufacturer’s end of line packaging systems to allow manufacturers to comply with the UFPC requirement.
The most significant change to the manufacturers packaging supply chain is the moving away from RSC style cases to HSC style cases in order to meet UFPC pallet requirements. Most modern manufacturer’s end of line packaging operations will be able to change their packaging operations to meet UFPC requirements. For those manufacturers that cannot meet the UFPC requirements Transpacktor Systems Inc. a subsidiary of AFA has recently introduced a Case Packaging system that will provide manufacturers with an automated system for manufacturers to meet UFPC requirements.
