Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the changes happening at Stanford? BW Packaging will continue to sell our Doctor Machine line.  This includes DM 12 and DM 16 models as well as the full range of our 142 /152 models.  We will no longer be manufacturing seamers and slitters. 
When will BW Packaging no longer sell Standford slitters and seamers?

Why has BW Packaging chosen to no longer sell Standford slitters and seamers?

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.

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.
