    Haeteun Trading will participate in ‘K-PRINT 8’, which will be held at the 23nd exhibition hall of KINTEX in Ilsan from Wednesday, August 26rd to Saturday, August 2th, and introduce an automatic paper handle attachment machine.

    Since 1989, Haeteun Trading Co., Ltd. has been manufacturing post-printing machines, including automatic paper box adhesive machines, automatic paper punching machines, double-sided lamination machines, envelope production machines, window adhesive machines, and other paper processing machines, together with leading domestic manufacturers. As a result of continuously pioneering overseas markets and sharing history with the domestic printing industry by exporting more than 400 units, we achieved the result of receiving the $100 million and $300 million Export Tower awards on the Korea International Trade Association’s Trade Day.

    This exhibition will showcase an automatic paper handle attachment machine that can be installed on an automatic adhesive machine. Haeteun Trading Company holds a design registration certificate for the ‘eco-friendly paper handle’.

    In the case of the existing box production process, △Printing △Punching (cutting the printed paper to the shape of the box) △Adhesion (process of folding the box and applying adhesive before automated packaging) △Insertion and packaging of contents △Insertion of plastic handle △Sequence of shipment It is done with The plastic handle process is carried out manually by manpower.

    On the other hand, when using a paper handle, the box production process is reduced to the order of △ printing △ punching △ gluing + attaching paper handle △ inserting and packaging contents △ shipping, so cost reduction and productivity improvement compared to manpower can be expected.

    Haeteun Trading Company said, “Since the 2017 regulation of waste plastic imports from China, various policies and regulations have been implemented at home and abroad, such as reducing plastic use and using eco-friendly products,” and added, “Plastic handles for transportation on various paper containers such as various beverage transport carriers and snack boxes. “Although it is being used, it is often not removed separately when separating and discharging waste,” he explained.

    He continued, “This requires additional manpower and time when recycling waste, and is not in line with recent eco-friendly and shared growth policies. He added, “In major developed countries such as Europe and North America, replacement with paper handles is already in progress, and this product is essential when exporting products to those countries.”

    In addition, in the case of large packaging boxes delivered to domestic large supermarkets and distribution channels, there is the inconvenience of having to hold the product with both hands. However, using a paper handle on the top of the box has the advantage of allowing buyers to easily hold and carry the product. I am singled out.

    An official said, “Following the delivery of machines to CJ Bibigo partners in 2019, we have also supplied machines to Dongseo Foods partners in 2020,” and added, “Through this exhibition, we hope to discover small and medium-sized customers who produce small quantities of various products.”
