Packaging company Packsize has revealed a strategic alliance with Sitma and Paccurate to expand its market presence and capabilities in automated packaging.

Sitma specialises in paper-based envelopes and bagging technologies. In contrast, Paccurate will act as Packsize's partner for 'cartonisation'.

These alliances enable Packsize to broaden its range of eco-friendly packaging options.

Packsize CRO Brian Reinhart said: “Our partnership with Sitma represents the next step in Packsize's mission to bring sustainable, eco-friendly packaging solutions to a greater number of application needs.

“By providing paper bagging and cardboard enveloping, we are able to reduce the damaging carbon footprint of plastic options.

“With Sitma's innovative automated bagging machines, we can now offer a truly comprehensive range of packaging solutions, enabling us to serve more markets and address a broader variety of customer challenges.”

Sitma's automated bagging systems include the e-Wrap, Fast Pack, and Fast Pack Plus.

These systems employ heat-sealable or kraft paper, providing a sustainable alternative to conventional poly bags.

They are designed to suit various products while minimising environmental impact.

Additionally, Packsize will exclusively market Paccurate's automated packaging solutions. This partnership enhances the efficiency of Packsize's offerings through cartonisation technology.

Paccurate co-founder and CEO James Malley said: “We couldn't be more thrilled to further strengthen Paccurate's partnership with Packsize.

“Our companies share a perfectly aligned mission, and after over a year of successful collaboration on major projects, it's clear the partnership delivers exceptional value.

“When it comes to right-sizing, you really can't get much better than best-in-class hardware and software working in tandem."

Last month, Packsize entered into an agreement to acquire Sparck Technologies for an undisclosed sum.
