If the machine you are looking for needs to be in production quickly and for the least amount of expense I would like for you to consider the following: Machines sold on the internet are sold as is. All of the work to get the machine running properly and customized to your product specifications will be on you. Machines sold by used equipment dealers are also sold as is.

They may have 25 to 50 man hours in cosmetics invested still leaving you to get the machine(s) running properly and customized for your product. Machines sold by the original manufactures are built to your specifications but come with long lead times and large investments. Machines sold by Frain are Plug and Play — when they arrive, they’re ready for action.

All our equipment comes with an average of 258 man hours inspecting and testing, so it’s ready for production, and custom-fitted for your product. This is what Plug and Play means — You’re in production faster, shipping thousands of cases per day from day one because we made sure your machines work right off the bat.

Now that’s a real competitive advantage: being in production sooner and for less cost than any other option. Do more, faster, for less with Frain’s Plug and Play equipment.

A customer just received an order from a big box chain that would require a large carton. They needed to be in production in sixty days but did not have a cartoner that could run the large size carton. They did not have the budget or time to order a new machine nor did they have the time or manpower available to refurbish and set up a used machine purchased from a dealer or auction.

After receiving the customer’s samples, Frain was able to set up one of our new or nearly new cartoners, conduct the factory acceptance test and ship it to the customer in six weeks. With a wide inventory of Plug and Play equipment to choose from, Frain’s engineers had no trouble finding, testing, and getting the right machine ready for production.

Not knowing how strong reorders will be, the customer elected to use Frain’s “pay as you go” program that allowed them to pay a small monthly fee while using the cartoner. They then had the option of returning the machine, trading it for a different machine or keeping it.
