Sleever unveils small-format packaging system

Sleever International has launched what it claims is the world's first small-format packaging machine.

The sleeving machinery manufacturer, which has been supplying packaging machinery for more than 35 years, has unveiled the Combisleeve – a two-in-one machine.

Sleever's new product combines sleeve positioning and shrinkage in a single compact monoblock structure designed for small containers.

The Combisleeve is designed to handle containers from 16-75mm, with a minimum height of 25mm and maximum of 150mm. It is being marketed at the health and beauty packaging printing sector.

It can run at speeds of up to 18,000 units per hour and has a reduced carbon footprint due to its compact monoblock structure, the company said.
