Guardpack's new machine to improve capabilities.

Guardpack Invests in Next-Generation Manufacturing to Boost Capacity, Quality and Flexibility

Guardpack are excited to announce the installation of our brand-new, custom-built wet wipe and sachet production machine. Designed specifically to our requirements, this next-generation system represents a major investment in the future of our manufacturing capabilities.

The new machine will enhance our production capacity, strengthen our medical manufacturing capabilities, and provide greater flexibility across our product offering. With advanced technology, increased efficiency, and expanded production options, this investment enables us to deliver even higher levels of quality, responsiveness, and innovation to our customers.

Increasing Our Production Capacity

One of the immediate benefits of our new machine is a substantial increase in output. With advanced engineering and dual pump and tissue feed systems, we’re able to boost our production capacity by approximately 20%.

For our customers, this means we can handle larger volumes more efficiently while maintaining the high-quality standards you expect from Guardpack. It also allows us to reduce lead times and respond more quickly to demand, which is particularly important in the vast range we work in.

Expanding Our Product Capabilities

Our new machine is designed to produce both sachets and sachet wipes, giving us greater versatility across our product range. It also opens up exciting new possibilities in terms of product development and packaging. We can now offer:

  • Perforated sachet formats
  • A wider variety of tissue and liquid combinations
  • Different product sizes
  • More advanced folding configurations

This means we’re better equipped to support bespoke projects and help our customers bring innovative products to market.

Supporting Our ISO 13485 Medical Manufacturing

As part of our ongoing commitment to quality, the new machine plays a key role in supporting and developing our ISO 13485 medical production capabilities. This internationally recognised standard ensures that our processes meet strict regulatory requirements for medical-grade products. With this new technology in place, we’re able to further strengthen our quality management systems and continue delivering safe, compliant products to customers in regulated industries.

Enhancing Quality and Consistency

Quality is at the heart of everything Guardpack do. Our new machine incorporates the latest technology in control systems, laminate handling, and automated conveyor and counting capabilities. These features allow us to achieve greater precision and consistency across every production run. By reducing variation and improving control, we can ensure that every product meets exact specifications, giving our customers complete confidence in the final result.

Improving Efficiency and Customer Service

While this investment will gradually phase out an older machine, it also adds to our overall production capabilities. The result is a more efficient operation that enables us to work smarter and deliver faster! For our customers, this means:

  • Shorter lead times
  • Greater flexibility on order sizes
  • Faster response to changing requirements

We understand how important reliability and speed are, and this upgrade helps us deliver on both.

A More Energy-Efficient Solution

Although the new machine operates with similar power consumption to our previous equipment, it delivers significantly higher output – effectively doubling productivity per unit of energy used. This makes it a more energy-efficient solution overall, supporting our ongoing efforts to improve sustainability and reduce waste across our manufacturing processes.

Designed Specifically for Guardpack

What makes this machine particularly standout is that it has been custom-built to our exact specifications. This means it’s perfectly aligned with the way Guardpack works and the needs of our customers. By investing in tailored technology, we’re not just keeping up with industry standards but setting our own.

Staying Ahead

This investment is part of our wider commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in wet wipe manufacturing. As customer demands evolve, we’re focused on staying ahead – offering flexible, high-quality, and reliable solutions every step of the way.
