The Haba Company in Steyr, Austria, has come up with a promotional banderole for palletized products – and filled a market gap in the process. Wrapped around the package, a coloured sleeve up to 300 mm wide advertises and valorizes the product in every direction – and does so at the amazingly low cost of approx. 0.15 €/pallet.
The inexpensive machine integrates into practically any production line. With its width of 720 mm, it takes up very little space. It is available with an optional height adjuster and/or provisions for applying two banderoles per pallet.
Sample calculation for film
This example is based on actually implemented projects:
› film width: 200 mm
› thickness: 55 µm
› background colour: white
› printing: 3-colour
› UV stable: yes
› basic quantity: 2000 kg
› yield: 100 m/kg
› cost per banderole for 1000 x 1000-mm pallets: approx. 0.15 €
› nonrecurring costs, e.g., layouting and other printing preparations are invoiced at cost price per colour
Technical data
› up to 150 pallets/hour
› film widths: between 100 mm and 500 mm
› one standard, 2-roll reload sufficient for some 400 pallets
› banderole application height adjustable by hand or (at extra cost) by motor
› film thicknesses: between 40 µm and 70 µm (recommended: 55 µm)
› supplementary printing with individual product data and CE markings possible
