If you haven’t visited the Signode Customer Experience Center (CEC) in Roselle, IL recently … you’re missing out on some exciting additions. And if you’ve never been—now is the perfect time.
The CEC is where manufacturers collaborate with Signode specialists to test, validate, and optimize transit packaging solutions before, during, and after implementation.
And now, the experience just got even better. We’ve added two major innovations to the showroom floor: the Octopus® Prestige™ automatic rotary ring stretch wrapper and the Little David® LDX‑RC random case opener.
Inside the CEC:
ISTA-Certified Packaging Lab:
Simulate real‑world transit conditions to uncover risks, strengthen load integrity, and refine packaging strategies with confidence.
Factory Acceptance Testing:
Validate your Signode packaging solution before it is delivered to your facility. With these tests you can trust your investment will be seamlessly integrated into your workflow,
Interactive Showroom:
Experience integrated automation systems, consumables, and protective packaging solutions in action.
Reliability Services University:
Hands-on training focused on proactive maintenance and long-term equipment performance.
Latest additions:
Octopus Prestige Automatic Rotary Ring Stretch Wrapper:
Built on advanced rotary ring technology, the fully automatic Octopus Prestige stretch wrapper features intelligent film conversion for optimized film usage and improved load stability, advanced motion control for smoother operation and increased uptime, and TopDown easy‑service access, with key service points positioned at floor level for simplified maintenance.
LDX-RC Random Case Opener:
Designed to replace manual box cutting in high‑volume decanting operations, the LDX‑RC case opener is built on the proven LDX‑RTB case sealing platform and delivers efficient, high‑speed performance with belt speeds up to 155 feet per minute. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for space‑conscious environments, and its integrated tape‑cutting cartridge slices tape at the top of each box for consistent, reliable, and efficient case opening.
