UK - N. P. Seymour LTD. will represent Posie Packer

Nov. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- N.P.Seymour will be offering sales and service for the Posie Packer Produce Bag Labeling machine for the UK market. Mr. Nick Seymour the Managing Director explains, “ The bag labeling machine fits into our present offering of labour saving machines to allow our clients to get their fruit from bud to box profitably. Furthermore it will allow our company to expand to not only supplying the mechanical needs of top fruit growers, but also for growers of leafy greens. The multiples in the UK require time sensitive information on the bags used for fruit and vegetables sold to the consumer. Presently these human readable labels are applied manually. The unique robust features of this machine will allow for this step to be profitably mechanized.”

Seymour established in 1974 and located in Kent, specializes in orchard, vineyard and hop machinery and equipment, from narrow tractors, mowers and sprayers through to packhouse grading equipment and controlled atmosphere storage.

To support the various machinery companies they represent in the UK market, they offer prompt on-farm service throughout the Southern Counties, as well as having working relationships with dealers in other areas.

About Posie Packer Corp
Posie Packer Corp. is a Canadian agri-machine manufacturer headquartered in Guelph Ontario. The new produce bag-labeling machine can handle plain, gusseted or zip lock produce bags as well as apply a second label (merchandizing) during the same machine cycle. It can be easily customized for a particular sized plastic bag required by a produce item (apples, potatoes, carrots, leafy greens, and citrus etc.) and/or a required label location. The machine will allow packers to use existing automatic bag filling equipment. The label, either paper or plastic, could be imprinted with any or all of the following time sensitive information: SSI-EID code, RFID code, PIDC code or PO release, Julian Date, Lot Number, Military or Standard Time, PLU or Commodity code, Company Name, Country and State of Origin, Harvest Crew or Member ID, and Certification, pull date from store shelf, best before date and sustainability issues. This machine will minimize the labor costs associated with meeting today's need for food safety and product traceability.
