Allen Field to Showcase Sustainable Paper Handle Applicator at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2025

LAS VEGAS - Amzeal -- Allen Field Co., Inc., a problem-solving packaging partner with over 40 years of industry leadership, will debut its innovative semi-automatic paper handle applicator at PACK EXPO Las Vegas. Designed for packaging up to 40 lbs, this solution combines sustainability with efficiency, helping brands meet environmental goals without sacrificing performance.

The system is engineered to apply Allen Field's recyclable paper handles with precise placement and consistent alignment, ensuring a professional, brand-enhancing finish on every box. By automating what is traditionally a manual process, the applicator reduces worker fatigue, minimizes training requirements, and increases throughput, making it an ideal fit for small to mid-volume production.

"This machine was developed with real-world use in mind," said Robert Ahearn, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Allen Field. "Our customers wanted an easy-to-integrate solution that doesn't require major modifications — and we delivered just that."

Flexible Options for Any Operation

While the semi-automatic applicator will be demonstrated live at the show, Allen Field also offers a fully automated handle application system for operations with the highest throughput demands. The automated model delivers up to 11,000 handle applications per hour and integrates directly into high-speed existing box folding lines.

Unlike the semi-automatic model, the fully automated system is not a quick-install solution. It is provided with factory-direct professional installation to ensure optimal performance and is compatible with most existing brands of folding/gluing machines. This turnkey integration ensures maximum efficiency, speed, and placement accuracy at full production pace.

For companies not yet operating at that scale, the semi-automatic option offers the same accurate placement and professional finish, while giving flexibility for smaller production runs and significantly reducing the labor of manual application. It will also be available to rent for projects, giving companies a cost-effective way to run short-term or seasonal programs without the need for a full equipment purchase. The semi-automatic unit requires only a standard air connection and a 220v electrical hookup to operate, allowing for quick setup in most facilities.

Sustainability Without Compromise

The paper handles applied by these systems are 100% recyclable, and some styles are also repulp able, allowing them to be reprocessed into new paper products without contamination. This gives brands flexibility in meeting various recycling and sustainability standards while offering a strong, comfortable carrying solution for packages up to 40 lbs.

Allen Field also offers sustainable plastic handle options, which have long been favored for their durability, reusability, and design-for-disassembly features. These components can extend packaging life, reduce the need for secondary materials, and are compatible with recycling streams where infrastructure exists. By replacing single-use elements with reusable hardware that protects product integrity, our plastic solutions often lower total environmental impact over the product's lifecycle — a key factor in many brands' sustainability strategies.
