NEWS BRIEF Masks required at the show
In accordance with statewide requirements in Nevada, everyone (including fully vaccinated individuals) must wear a mask indoors at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO 2021 and on all public transportation, including show shuttle buses, taxis and monorail. The show’s PACK Ready health and safety commitment also requires all attendees, exhibitors, vendors and staff to complete a self-screening each day prior to entering the venue regardless of vaccination status.

Code any substrate
GS1-128-compliant 5940 G Touch Dry® high-resolution inkjet from Markem-Imaje (Booth C-2232) prints barcodes, graphics and text on corrugated cases and trays, expanded polystyrene, shrink wrap and porous surfaces. Proprietary inks dry on contact, maintain crisp edges, contain no volatile organic compounds and come in a variety of colors. Patent-pending Intelli’Flow printhead technology prevents nozzle blockages due to ink backsplash and dust buildup, and a filtering process degasses the ink to keep the jetting mechanism clear, boost print quality and throughput and reduce maintenance and downtime. Direct printing supports traceability, eliminates the need for labels and preprinted cases/trays along with related costs and inventory requirements. SD
Stretcher smoothes seals
A pneumatic bag stretcher mechanism on medical-grade heat sealers from Packworld USA (Booth SL-6410) helps prevent seal imperfections. At the start of the heat-sealing cycle, the stretcher grips the bag and produces just enough tension to remove any wrinkles or creases before making a perfect seal. Improved ergonomics reduce repetitive actions. SD
Tough sensors
The latest sensors from Tri-Tronics (Booth C-1760) resist vibration and corrosion. Developed in-house, the units are easy to set up and maintain and support efficiency-boosting initiatives. SD
