V-Shapes will make its debut at PackExpo by showing its latest innovation, the AlphaFlex print, form, fill and seal solution. According to the company, the machine will feature high-quality synchronized printing on both sides of the sachets, powered by Memjet’s DuraFlex technology and ColorGATE Packaging Productionserver when it becomes commercially available later this year.
The V-Shapes AlphaFlex dosing and delivery technology reportedly makes it possible for vertical integration of high volume production of the patented V-Shapes single-dose sachets. Eliminating the need to outsource printing and giving complete manufacturing control back to the brand owners and co-packers. PackExpo, scheduled for 27 to 29 September in Las Vegas, marks the first time AlphaFlex will be shown in North America. V-Shapes will be located in the Central Hall, Stand C-4703, at the show. Memjet representatives will also be available at the V-Shapes stand.
“We are excited to be able to show our new AlphaFlex dosing and delivery solution to the many attendees expected at PackExpo Las Vegas 2021,” said Charanjit Hayre, president and CEO of V-Shapes North America. “This revolutionary filling/converting machine was made possible through a variety of important partnerships, including Memjet, Siemens and SIHL, as well as the talented V-Shapes engineering team. It was no small challenge to develop synchronized feeds and professional quality printing of our patented single-dose sachets, and we think the visitors to PackExpo will be amazed when they see what we and our partners have accomplished.”
V-Shapes AlphaFlex features integrated in-line printing into the V-Shapes 6-lane ALPHA machine, enabling packaging converters/fillers to accomplish the complete manufacturing process of V-Shapes’ unique single-dose sachets under one roof with a compact footprint, full-color branding capabilities, in line, on-demand and with the industry’s highest quality. In the AlphaFlex configuration, the printing module prints a single side of the single-dose sachets inline, synchronized with each other, and precisely married for die cutting, filling and sealing.
