Stanford Shrink Sleeve Converting Equipment

BW Packaging will no longer sell or upgrade Stanford seaming and slitting machines beginning October 1, 2026.

BW Packaging has chosen to focus on the business that built Stanford’s reputation and established its position as the industry leader: Doctor Machines.

By dedicating our expertise, resources, and innovation efforts exclusively to Doctor Machine technology, Stanford can continue to deliver the highest level of quality control solutions for shrink sleeve applications. This focused approach ensures that customers benefit from the specialized knowledge, continuous innovation, and dedicated support that have defined Stanford for decades.

As the inventor of the Doctor Machine, Stanford remains uniquely positioned to provide best-in-class technology and service, giving customers confidence that their quality control systems are backed by the original pioneer and recognized expert in the field.

In short, this change allows Stanford to do what it does best: helping shrink sleeve converters achieve the highest levels of quality, performance, and reliability.

Our Stanford line of Doctor Machines will still be eligible for upgrades, but the Stanford seamer and slitter lines will not.

Yes, BW Packaging will continue to provide manufacturers parts for your Stanford slitter and seamer.

BW Packaging will continue to service Stanford seaming and slitting machines through October 1, 2027.
