Delta Group based in Bishop’s Stortford, UK has become the first company to install a second Packline from Lamina System.
The first Packline was a 14.20 but this model is a half-size 07.10 for smaller packs and is the first one to be built. The Packline is a fresh and newly designed hot-melt packing line launched in 2024 for gluing flat collated POS corrugated packs (FEFCO 402).

This finishing process is traditionally carried out by staff using hand-held vinyl packing tape guns but now it will be glued with huge labour savings and takes away plastic from this process. Paper tapes are also sometimes used however the glued packs are much stronger and gives greater protection. The Packline’s USP is that due to the design and construction it is set-up free. Packs can be fed of different sizes and thicknesses randomly without the need to change any settings so long as they are within specification. Options include an inkjet print head for pack identification and Lamina 4.0 management information system.
The sale of the 07.10 Packline was handled by Lamina’s UK & Irish sales agent, Neil Thayer of Finishline Machinery. Lamina will be exhibiting the 07.10 Packline at FESPA in Berlin from 6-9 May (Hall 25 C80).
