Selling of New Mail-order Packaging System (Automatic Sealing Machine with Adjustable Height)

Oji Container Co., Ltd. (president: Yutaka Fushino; head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo), a subsidiary of Oji Holdings

Corporation (president: Masatoshi Kaku; head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo), today announces that it will sell Vario558, a new packaging system (an automatic sealing machine with adjustable height manufactured by OPITZ Packaging Systems GmbH) to the mail-order logistics center of a major retail manufacturer.

Vario558 allows for the automatic height adjustment of a box to its content, eliminating wasted space in terms of height. This leads to the reduction of buffer materials and transportation costs. Characteristically, Vario558 can randomly seal about 20 different sizes of boxes in length and width with a single system and can save energy used for packaging.
