Being an industry leader in the supply of custom-engineered protective packaging for aerospace, medical devices, robotics, healthcare, defense, and other industries, SmartShield Packaging offers packaging solutions to keep their customers' valuable products protected during transport, storage, and handling. Understanding the constantly growing demands for their product and the increasing complexity of packaging designs, SmartShield Packaging has decided to increase their manufacturing capabilities and opted for the WARDJet X-Series. "Precision is of great importance when designing the packaging that will be protecting your valuable equipment and medical devices. In our opinion, the WARDJet X-Series is the solution to enhance our manufacturing capabilities while providing exceptional efficiency, consistency, and quality of our products." Sam, Director - SmartShield Packaging Meet the Challenges of Precision Packaging Protective packaging is not only about securing the product. Being a specialist in the field, SmartShield Packaging understands that its packaging inserts, equipment cavities, shadow boards, and carrying case interiors should provide perfect fit, protection, and consistent quality of performance on each production run. <img alt="WARDJET X-Series Waterjet" data-mce-style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" height="445" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/dd91071d-8f1b-4292-8d79-dbf4f5508685/wardjet-pr-release.png" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" width="600" data-dpi="96" data-caption="WARDJET X-Series Waterjet" data-filename="WARDJET PR Release.png" /> As the volume of production has been growing and packaging designs have been becoming more complex, SmartShield Packaging has been searching for the technology that would meet the challenges and would support further development of the company. Considering all the available options, SmartShield Packaging has opted for the WARDJet X-Series due to its advanced cutting abilities, reliability, service network, and unique 5-axis technology. Provide Exceptional Accuracy While Working with Various Materials Today the WARDJet X-Series is a key component of the SmartShield Packaging’s manufacturing operations, thanks to which SmartShield Packaging is able to produce highly precise custom foam inserts, equipment cavities, shadow boards, carrying case interiors, and protective packaging assemblies. Among the key benefits of the system is its ability to handle a variety of packaging materials, including polyethylene foam, cross-linked polyethylene foam, polyurethane foam, plastics, wood, and other special packaging materials without compromising the quality and accuracy of cuts. This flexibility allows SmartShield Packaging to choose the optimal material for each application while maintaining efficient production and high quality. Multiple Layers Cutting Boosts Productivity With the help of the WARDJet X-Series waterjet, SmartShield Packaging has achieved high productivity through multiple layers cutting capabilities. With the help of stacking and simultaneous cutting of multiple layers, the company has managed to significantly boost the production output and maintain precise dimensional accuracy for each layer. This leads to reduced production time, more effective use of the labor, and increased manufacturing capacity. This way, SmartShield Packaging provides its customers with fast delivery of reliable and consistent quality products. Clean and Distortion-Free Cutting Enhances Product Quality Contrary to the conventional cutting technologies that might lead to compression, tearing, and distortion of the foam material, waterjet cutting involves a cold cutting process, where no heat is introduced into the material. This way, SmartShield Packaging is able to produce exceptionally clean and accurate geometries and eliminate secondary finishing operations. This leads to improved fit and finish, improved appearance, and functional packaging systems. Open New Horizons for Packaging Designs Thanks to the advanced 5-axis capabilities of the <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=9qO0jg908uiwcg_xVdZTmox1soQALm84170bwGZjop3Kg267LVsfmiPbphMXRYNTAb3clXhsFvHjYcTGkah6NPucgiQpS_oNJFtmN4p11R4Bv_kFXolh2ajUr8qlNW7DOzoupAuzs3ESts-hNB0-olSwQRC-pSdTIgPCWRxin3mfHSODavKLu3BHvFpRU2LOzAnKZV2VtluYG01qJMeGrQ==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="WARDJet X-Series">WARDJet X-Series</a>, SmartShield Packaging has gained an opportunity to increase the complexity of its packaging designs. With the help of the system, it has become possible to produce beveled foam inserts, multi-angle cavities, custom shadow boards, precision tool control systems, and other complex geometries of packaging that would be hard or impossible to make with traditional cutting technologies. Thus, it opened new ways for SmartShield Packaging to support its customers with specialized and application-specific packaging solutions.
