European Launch of Stanford's new Shrink Sleeve Finishing Equipment

Brussels, September 21, 2005 - Labelexpo Europe is the venue for the first European showing of Stanford's new Shrink Sleeve Finishing equipment. On display in Booth 12T105 is the Model SM-10 Seammachine which is said to revolutionize the production of shrink sleeves. Boasting speeds up to 500 mpm, and with several new patent-pending features, this latest Stanford design is attracting the attention of shrink sleeve producers from Europe and around the world.

Stanford's president Mr. Séamus Lafferty states: “the Stanford Seammachine not only out-produces anything else that is currently available in the market, but it also produces seams of exceptional quality with extremely low waste. The machine was designed in response to specific requests from our existing customer-base for slitter rewinders and Doctor Machines® and it provides solutions to problems that have plagued shrink sleeve producers for years. With an operating speed that is up to 50% faster than many competitive models, and given that the machine is designed and built to Stanford's historically high standards, I'm convinced that this machine offers the competitive edge in this growing segment of the label market”.
