These breath-freshener strips are an exciting development from manufacturers of oral care products. The thin strips are impregnated with ingredients such as menthol and peppermint. The consumer takes a strip from the case and places it on the tongue, where it instantly dissolves, giving the consumer an instant feeling of fresh breath.

The system is capable of producing 1,500 strips per minute into 60 filled cases. The units can be enhanced to high-speed systems, which are capable of producing over 5,000 strips per minute.

The machine process starts with a master roll of film, which is unwound and slit into individual strips. These continuous strips are then stacked up and fed through a cut off mechanism that cuts the stacks directly into the waiting plastic carrying case. The case lid is assembled and the filled product is transferred to a labelling system for product identification on the case.
