If you make a health, medical, or personal-care product in Orange today, where do you turn for packaging automation that meets your standards? The city's own history offers no ready-made supplier. Orange's economy was built on citrus: during the late 1800s "Orange Era," as many as 48 railcars loaded with citrus, olives, and walnuts left the Orange depot every day by rail. The city incorporated in 1888 largely to organize around that agricultural output, and for decades a citrus packing house remained part of the local landscape. One of them ran as the last working fruit-packing operation left in Orange County until it closed in 2018.

Orange's employment base has since moved almost entirely to healthcare and education, with hospital systems now the city's largest employers and no major food-processing or industrial-manufacturing plant left among them. That shift changes what packaging automation looks like locally. Instead of citrus crates, today's Orange-area producers of medical products, supplements, and personal-care goods need PLAN IT's EliteFill auger fillers to meter powders and liquids into stick pack and sachet lines, plus checkweighers that catch an underfill before it leaves the line rather than after a regulator finds it. A supplement dose that's off by a gram gets recalled. A stick pack line running supplements or personal-care liquids doesn't forgive a sloppy fill, and PLAN IT's EliteFill-to-checkweigher pairing is built to catch it before it ships. PLAN IT stocks stick pack, sachet, and checkweighing lines sized for supplement, medical, and personal-care runs, and installs and services them for producers working in Orange today.
