What Goes Where: 

Understanding Common Packaging Equipment

Flow Wrappers

• Flow wrappers rapidly wrap products in flexible film, sealing them with precision and speed. They streamline the packaging of individual items, reducing manual labor and increasing throughput.

Labeling Systems

• Labeling systems automatically apply accurate labels to packages, ensuring compliance and product traceability. They eliminate hand-labeling errors and speed up the identification process.

Pallet Systems

• Pallet systems organize and automate the placement of packaged goods onto pallets for shipping. They enhance load stability and reduce manual handling, making logistics faster and safer.

Bagging Machines

• Bagging machines quickly fill and seal bags with products, ideal for loose or granular items. This automation speeds up production and ensures consistent bag sizes and weights.

Cushioning Systems

• Cushioning systems create on-demand protective padding like foam or air pillows. They reduce material waste and protect goods during transit, minimizing damage-related delays or returns.

Heat Shrink Tunnels

• Heat shrink tunnels apply uniform heat to shrink film around products tightly. They provide a tamper-evident, professional finish and enhance product security during shipping.

Balers

• Balers compress waste materials like cardboard or plastic into manageable bales. They improve workspace efficiency and reduce disposal costs by keeping packaging areas clean and organized.

Shrink Sealers

• Shrink sealers seal shrink film around products before entering the shrink tunnel. They ensure a clean, tight seal that enhances the appearance and protection of the package.

Shrink Bundlers

• Shrink bundlers group multiple items together and wrap them in shrink film. This makes it easier to handle and ship bulk items, reducing packaging time and costs.

Conveyors

• Conveyors transport products through various packaging stages without manual intervention. They improve workflow speed, reduce worker fatigue, and minimize bottlenecks.

Strapping Machines

• Strapping machines apply plastic or metal straps to secure boxes or pallets. They stabilize loads quickly and reduce the risk of product shifting or damage during transport.

Load Transfer Systems

• Load transfer systems automate the movement of products between pallets or conveyor lines. They boost efficiency in high-volume operations and reduce forklift reliance.

Scales

• Industrial scales weigh packages to ensure accuracy and compliance. They help avoid overpacking and under packing, reducing waste and shipping cost discrepancies.

Carton Erectors

• Carton erectors automatically form flat boxes into open cartons. They speed up the packing line by preparing boxes quickly and consistently, reducing manual labor.

Carton Sealers

• Carton sealers close and seal filled boxes using tape or glue. They standardize the sealing process and improve packaging speed and security.

Stretch Wrappers

• Stretch wrappers apply plastic film around palletized goods for stability. They ensure safe transport, reduce product movement, and cut film usage through consistent application.
