    Advantages

    • Eliminates machine stoppages caused by defects in handle preparation
    • Improves efficiency
    • Reduce operator interventions as the adhesive roll is the only changeover

      Handles fully made on the equipment
     

    Handles are made by the machine using a clear adhesive and a paper label. As with the prepared handles, the handle is cut to the right length and installed automatically. A semi-automatic machine is also available just to make the handles, and then an operator installs them on the product by hand.

    Advantages:

    • The same roll of clear adhesive can be used with different labels
    • A change of handle design only requires a paper label change
