Sustainable Paperboard Ring Applicator for Eco-Friendly Packaging

The NEXClip multipack applicator enables brands to eliminate plastic rings and snap-on handles by applying recyclable paperboard clips to bottles and cans. With Rockwell-controlled robotic automation, NEXClip delivers low-maintenance, tool-free changeovers, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum efficiency. Unlike competitors, Douglas does not require single-supplier material contracts, giving you freedom in paperboard selection. Its compact footprint, high-capacity magazine, and uninterrupted production capabilities make it the ideal solution for brands prioritizing sustainability without sacrificing performance.
