"We bought our original 2 PDC neck banding systems in the early 80s, for tamper evidence.  They are true work-horses, running 20 hours a day, 5 days a week.  We neck band at 150-200 bottles per minute, running PVC bands that are 68 to 42 lay-flat size, 2-3 mil gauge.  We are literally the poster kids for systems that run continuously and reliably. We now have 5 PDC systems and use them for all of our sauces.  The equipment’s only downtime was following Katrina, when, after being in 5’ of water, they had to be refurbished.  They were returned to service immediately – they are incredibly robust systems.”

“We were looking for a high-speed shrink labeling system that could handle quick, frequent changeovers of single-product containers. We wanted a system with robust construction – and good ‘fit and finish.’ And we wanted to be able to switch mandrels, feed screws, and other change parts without a toolbox. We also had strong preferences in terms of system features, and we needed equipment that could operate 2-3 shifts (depending on the season), 6 days. Since operation would be continuous, we needed to know we could get spare parts off-the-shelf, at a reasonable cost. PDC accomplished all of this. Our R-300 is distinctive in that it configures as a multipacker, as a shrink labeler, and as a combination system for individual products. The system accommodates rigid packages, cartons, bottles, cans, and special shapes. PDC's technical expertise has proven invaluable for all of our applications.”

"We transitioned from offset printed cups to shrink sleeves in order to upgrade the look, feel and performance. We partnered with Eastgate Graphics for the cup decoration, and together with them, researched the best equipment option. We looked at all the high end, and the ‘value’ priced equipment, as well as different shrink application approaches, and PDC was the clear winner for us. They were able to get us up and running quickly, and we liked that they are a domestic supplier. With a time crunch involved, it was also valuable that we were able to do equipment evaluations simultaneously with small production runs. We also liked that PDC had no affiliation with a shrink sleeve producer – they work well with all players, so we had total freedom to pick ‘best of breed.’ F’Real is growing fast. We needed to know that we wouldn’t ‘grow out’ of our vendor choices, or have to deal with equipment break downs. PDC equipment runs flawlessly, non-stop."

“We’ve had a great relationship with PDC since Tropicana Group/Pepsi recommended them to us. Our first system was purchased in 2002; we now have two R-300s running side by side. These are hot-fill PET lines that apply full shrink labels, and perfect registration is critical. We bought the R-300s because of their versatility – we label containers that are 8 oz. to 46 oz. – every bottle is different and there are 20 different sized labels. The tallest is 10”, so the system must be highly and easily adjustable. As a contract manufacturer, we need lots of change parts, and PDC’s turnaround is always very fast. PDC has provided great help and technical support.”

“We manufacture eye care related products, and have done business with PDC since the late 80s. We did an extensive evaluation of vendors, and they’ve been a preferred supplier ever since. Our most recent system was installed here in Ft. Worth; we also have several PDC systems in process for our new plant in Singapore. The combination of baby boomers getting older and increasingly needing our products, and emerging markets becoming more affluent and better able to care for their sight is fueling substantial growth for us – we see PDC as an excellent partner for this growth.”

“We needed a shrink sleeve placer for aerosol cans – a cut-in-place system for tamper evident banding. We thought this could be the most problematic of the equipment we were buying at the time, because we had never used one before. In fact, it turned out to be the easiest machine to use of any we have. We supplied PDC with a sample can, and they supplied a machine tailored to exactly what we needed, then backed it with fantastic tech support. Our product is an aerosol foam sealant used by homeowners and contractors – it’s labeled at a rate of 70 a minute, 2 shifts.”

“PDC has been a great company to work with over the last seven years. We own nine PDC sleevers across three manufacturers, and we are extremely satisfied with the performance of their machines. Considering how unique our package is compared to the beverage industry, it was challenging to find a sleeving machine manufacturer who could customize a solution for us, but the team at PDC was willing to help us.” “Gary, Bob, and the rest of the service team there has always been extremely helpful in getting us a quick turnaround, a service technician and or parts.” “If we have future needs for more sleeving machines, PDC will be our preferred manufacturer for those additional machines”

Working with PDC International over the years has been a great experience, their product is of the highest quality, their technicians are knowledgeable, and their customer service is always available when we need it. I fully recommend PDC International for all your labeling needs.

“Bob Purciello has been a huge help throughout this whole process. and to this day if I have any issues, he's always available to call or text to help through any issues”

“They are very robust pieces of equipment that have exceptional performance, and boy, in 30 years of being in the maintenance area, I have seen a lot, but very few pieces of equipment that can compare with PDC equipment.”
