Fox Packaging announced a capital investment to upgrade its McAllen, Texas, headquarters facility.

Operators can now weigh and fill difficult-to-package products into bags, trays, boxes or containers using the C-Series conveyorized scale by WeighPack Systems.

Lakeside Foods installed two Bosch SVE 3600 WR continuous motion VFFS baggers integrated with 16-head Yamato scales in its Manitowoc, Wis., distribution center.

A self-proclaimed “packaging” and “product” addict, I am the type of person who could spend hours in a Target store just looking at all the boxes and bags of goodies, giving special attention to those marked “new packaging,” “now with more flavor!” or “on sale for a limited time only.”
