The high-speed Hudson-Sharp machines have been installed at its facility in Buffalo, New York.
The equipment is designed to offer improved automation, rapid changeovers and better efficiencies while enhancing workflow, quality and data collection.
It is intended to help C-P meet the demand for different bag formats in various sectors, including food, healthcare and industrial applications.
C-P Flexible Packaging CEO Mike Hoffman said: “Due to the growth of our premade bag business, we are excited to make this investment in state-of-the-art technology that will enable us to continue to meet short lead times and just-in-time service.
