Priory Press Packaging Doubles Output with the ERGOSA Packer
From vape boxes to cake cartons the ERGOSA packs it all and puts a smile on everyone’s face.
Priory Press needed a solution powerful enough for high throughput — but also adaptable to their wide product range.
When Priory Press Packaging in Co. Down, Ireland needed to increase folder-gluer productivity, they turned to our UK agent iPack, and packaging automation consultant John Hall, to help identify the right solution for their unique product mix.
After evaluating their workflow, carton formats, and speed limitations, John recommended the ERGOSA semi-automatic packer with an integrated INH Box Turner — a configuration designed to maximize efficiency without sacrificing flexibility.
The ERGOSA is paired with their Koenig & Bauer OMEGA Allpro 70 — a strategic investment made by Priory Press in 2023.

“The ability to do various sizes of cartons from very small vape style up to large cake style convinced us that the ERGOSA was a good fit.” ~ Micheal Stott, Production Logistics Manager
Immediate Impact
The results were fast and significant:
“It more than doubled our production speeds… we’re now only restricted by the limitations of the glue line.” ~ Micheal Stott, Production Logistics Manager
Operator comfort saw a major improvement due to automation of the most strenuous tasks.
“Moving to single action packing has put a large smile on our packers’ face.” ~ Micheal Stott, Production Logistics Manager

What’s Next
The factors that led them to choose the ERGOSA originally, its modularity and ability to add modules later, are also influencing their strategy for the future.
“Recommend 10 out of 10. We will be considering the purchase of a second one possibly next year.” ~ Micheal Stott, Production Logistics Manager
