BOTTLE DEBATE
As we touched on yesterday, there are many considerations to take into account when setting up a packaging system. Whether you are contemplating bottling water, labeling juices, capping industrial cleaners or any combination of the above, one consideration is which bottle is the best for your product. In the packaging world, “best” can mean several different things: Which material is best suited for my product? Which bottle will look the best sitting on the shelf next to my competition? Which container can I get at the best cost? Which bottle will be the best for the health and safety of my customer and/or the consumer? You get the idea.

CONVEYORS AND TURNTABLES
If you are going to automate your packaging process, there is one piece of packaging equipment that is a must: the conveyor. In fact, one of the first steps in deciding on a packaging system will be laying out the conveyor system to insure you have room for your employees and for your packaging equipment, such as rinsers, fillers, cappers and labelers. All of this equipment and labor requires precious space. A good conveyor system can help you find that space, even if it isn't visible at first glance.
