Check out a teaser of Horizon Packaging products. Horizon is demonstrating a new product at Interpack 2023 in Germany. You can get a preview look at what’s new in the video below.

Horizon Packaging Video

In the showcased video, Horizon shows us a processing sequence for a coffee bag. The machine starts its job by automatically building stacks of custom product. Then an AMR robotic arm takes the stacks and neatly packages them into cartons. Transforming production steps like this through automation enhances a basic job and creates new advantages for producers. Innovation in automation puts providers capable of high volume into prime position for high value contracts.

Given this context, it seems only natural to me that we would see Horizon develop packaging equipment. Packaging is a common next step after a die cutting line. The RD-N4055DMC has become a market favorite. This popularity has led many other manufacturers to produce copies or variations of this style of machine. The packaging sector has been growing much faster than other sectors. Customers who demand high quality, unique, and functional packacging are drive this process. That category of customer will purchase in these high value pricing categories.
