Evo-Fold Bags Bulgarian Tea Order

When George Triov ET, based in Sofia, Bulgaria, decided to expand its range of medicinal products to include herbal teas, it chose an Evo-fold wrapper from Marden Edwards to give its tea packaging a high quality finish.

It is the first automatic wrapper the Bulgarian company has purchased and it will be used in its recently built production facility to wrap its cartons of herbal teas bags launched to complement its range of medicinal plants, seeds and berries.

Managing director George Triov explains,“The tea project is currently aimed at the domestic Bulgarian market, although we have ambitions to sell to other EU countries. Our strategy is to pack our premium quality, all natural ingredients into very attractive packs to differentiate it from other products in the market, while maintaining a competitive price.”

The machine has been designed as an entry level, fully automatic over wrapping machine for medium speed applications. Typical uses include wrapping cartons of tea, confectionery, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. It competes directly with automatic shrink wrapping machines for price and has the extra benefits of reduced energy consumption, the use of low cost films and a high quality wrap and seal.

Thanks to advances in component manufacturing technology the Evo-fold wrapper has a higher specification than many more expensive machines on offer, according to ME. While it is the company’s ‘entry level’ machine it can perform to levels seen previously only on more sophisticated equipment.
