Efficient AODD Pumps Help the Packaging Industry Stay Competitive and Grow Internationally

The ever-expanding global economy has created an accelerated need for unique packaging that allows manufacturers to safely transport their products across the planet very quickly. The e-commerce revolution has boosted the industry even further. Beyond the basic need to send a much higher volume of items, packaging has become essential to product branding and product design as companies focus on delightful unboxing experiences or artistic customized cans, boxes and bottles to attract customers and build brand loyalty.

Another trend affecting this industry is the increasing regulations to reduce environmental waste from packaging materials and a push to more easily recycled materials. This requires changes to traditional manufacturing processes. Choosing the right pump is a significant decision with long-lasting consequences.
