Herma partners with grocery store chain to enhance salad labeling

Herma, a manufacturer of precision labeling machines for a variety of sectors, has partnered with a US grocery store chain to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of its clamshell salad packaging lines.

The collaboration centers on the integration of Herma’s 752C Wrap Labeler and 652C Top & Bottom Labeler into the retailer’s clamshell salad packaging lines. The two technologies are designed to meet the speed and precision demands of modern food production environments.
 
Following a successful trial and initial installation, the grocery chain has expanded its investment, with over two dozen Herma systems now fully integrated across multiple production facilities.
 
'Food labeling is about more than just presentation; it’s about consistency, reliability and operational speed,' said Gavin Purvis, director of sales and marketing at Herma US. 'Our 752C and 652C models are built to meet the demands of high-volume food producers, and we are thrilled to support a major grocery chain in delivering fresh, clearly labeled salad products to stores nationwide.'
 
The Herma 752C Wrap Labeler is suitable for applying full or partial wraparound labels to cylindrical or rounded containers. At the same time, the Herma 652C Top & Bottom Labeler offers synchronized precision for clamshell packs, applying labels on both the top and bottom surfaces in a single pass. Together, these machines provide a complete product for labeling retail-ready salad packs efficiently and accurately.
 
Benefits of Herma’s labeling systems include high throughput with consistent labeling accuracy, speeds of up to 60 products/minute with the 752C and up to 250 products/minute with the 652C, tool-free adjustments for fast changeovers between product formats, compact footprints that integrate into existing production lines, 100-300 x 100-250 x 50-200 mm for the 752C and 30-300 x 10-250 x 38-350 mm for the 652C, and user-friendly touchscreen interfaces and robust machine construction.
 
The growing presence of Herma US labeling systems in salad packaging lines reflects rising industry demand for automation that meets today’s consumer expectations for speed, consistency and quality in fresh food packaging.
