Before it was necessary <\/strong>\u2699\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>Around 15 years ago, we delivered a bespoke solution to a forward-thinking board game manufacturer looking to remove plastic film wrapping from their products.<\/p>\n<p>Long before sustainability became a widespread requirement, the objective was to replace shrink wrap with transparent tamper seal labels \u2014 maintaining presentation while securely sealing the box.<\/p>\n<p>The requirement was clear:<\/p>\n<p>Apply seal labels across multiple faces of the box, bonding the lid to the base without compromising the look or integrity of the product.<\/p>\n<p>What made this project particularly interesting was how it was achieved:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Designed from a completely blank canvas by the ALTech UK engineering team<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Multiple label applications synchronised across all sides of the pack<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Retrofitted into an existing production line<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Fully switchable \u2014 allowing the customer to enable or disable the process as required<\/p>\n<p>The process itself was simple, but highly effective:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A transparent seal label is applied to the side of the box<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The labelling head microprocessor triggers a pneumatic system beneath the pack<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The label is adapted underneath the box, creating a secure seal between lid and base<\/p>\n<p>This sequence was repeated on all sides, delivering a consistent, tamper-evident seal \u2014 without the need for plastic film.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s particularly pleasing about this solution is how it brings together a number of standard ALTech modules \u2014 used day-in, day-out \u2014 but applied here in slightly different and innovative ways:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A flighted belt system, intelligently controlled to remove products from the main line \u2014 allowing the functionality to be switched in or out as required<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; ALTech labelling heads utilising multi-label functionality for flexible seal application<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A simple pneumatic handling system to rotate the product through 90\u00b0, enabling all-side application using horizontally mounted labelling heads<\/p>\n<p>What this project really highlights is the strength of the ALTech UK model.<\/p>\n<p>We design, manufacture, and supply complete solutions from our UK workshop \u2014 combining this with ALTECH\u2019s world-leading, proven labelling heads from our Italian parent company.<\/p>\n<p>The result is the best of both worlds:<\/p>\n<p>robust, high-performance technology, engineered into fully tailored, turnkey systems delivered locally.<\/p>\n<p>A practical solution, engineered to work \u2014 and built to last.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Times change.
