système de pose

English translation: fitting/assembly system

Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / food packaging
French term or phrase: système de pose
Hello,

This is a new product in a specific range of lunch boxes, these have forks/spoons incorporated in the lid.

"Et sans besoin de système de pose ni modification de ligne chez le conditionneur".

What comes before doesn't give any additional context, it's just a description of the actual box, its weight etc.

so I presume this is describing the production line, and this extra step "pose" doesn't need to be done. I'm not sure how to translate it.

Your input is highly appreciated.

Thank you

English translation:fitting/assembly system
Explanation:
I'm not guessing, but I am a little unsure as you say you are presuming this is about the production line. The information you post indicates that no assembly/fitting system is necessary, nor is there any need to change the line with the packager ("chez le conditionneur").

Is the packaging in question being done on the same site as the production of the boxes themselves, or is this packaging being done elsewhere? Does "ligne" mean "production line" or the "line" of packaging (style, presentation)?

I have doubts, as it apparently not 100% clear to you with the benefit of the full document, whether this means the production line, assembly line or some other possibility. It would no doubt be helpful if you could get that point cleared up. However, I think that "système de pose" is probably safely rendered by one of the suggestions I have made.

My confidence level is low, although I'm not guessing. I mean, you need to know whether they are describing the packaging process of something to do with the boxes being packaged.

Just had a brain flash. You say "lunch boxes", yet this is about food. Are these empty boxes : https://www.amazon.com/Reusable-Easy-Containers-Storage-Incl...
Or this sort of idea : https://www.sodebo.com/fr/produits-frais/salades/1

I've just picked up further information from your oher post on the subject :
"This is a plastic food packaging factory.
I have a kind of brochure with the products, production, etc."

Is this the kind of box you mean?

It might be helpful to provide a link to a photo or a site. if you don't want to give away the name of your client, you could give a link to a competitor website, just to give an idea.

Further to you Note here, if this is for packaging which will actaully be sold with food inside, then "lunch box" is potentially misleading for a UK market. A "lunch box" is the term used to describe an empty container which you use to put your own food in brought from home, whether it be a multi-stack affair https://www.terapeak.com/worth/lunch-box-container-bag-for-a... or the basic Tupperware plactic container. As I now udnerstand your context, it looks as though you ought not to be using the term "lunch box".

As they are integrated into the container, there is no need for any system/device to inset the forks.

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: Quite possible if the text is actually referrng at this point to the insertion of the fork/knife etc. into the box.

Asker: Hi Nikki, thank you, yes it's like in your last link, the placon website. I really don't know what they mean by "ligne", it's probably packaging line..nothing else in the document clarifies this.
