Cartoners
Place bottles, tubes, blisters or sachets into folding cartons with leaflets if required.
Secondary Packaging for Industrial Packaging Applications
Cartoners, case packers, shrink wrappers and palletizing for end-of-line.
Secondary packaging machines group primary packs into cartons, cases or shrink bundles and prepare them for dispatch. End-of-line choices depend on case dimensions, throughput and how much manual handling you want to remove.
Types and configurations
Common approaches in this category. The right one depends on your product, pack and output.
Case packers
Pack products into corrugated cases by wrap-around, top-load or drop methods.
Shrink wrappers
Bundle packs with film and a heat tunnel.
Palletizing
Stack cases onto pallets, from simple layer formers to robotic cells.
How to choose
| Selection factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Case dimensions | Case size range and board quality affect forming and sealing reliability. |
| Throughput | End-of-line must keep up with the fastest upstream machine. |
| Accumulation | Buffer space prevents short stops from halting the whole line. |
| Ergonomics | Manual stations need safe heights and reach for operators. |
Where it fits in a packaging line
A typical sequence. Your actual line depends on product and pack.
- Primary packaging
- Coding
- Accumulation
- Cartoning or case packing
- Case sealing
- Palletizing
Technical specifications such as output, accuracy and dimensions are configuration dependent. They are confirmed against the supplier datasheet for each enquiry.

Frequently asked questions
When should I automate end-of-line packing?
When manual packing limits line output, causes injuries or takes several operators per shift. A throughput and labour review shows whether semi-automatic or automatic equipment makes sense.
Can one case packer handle different case sizes?
Usually within a range, with change parts or adjustable guides. Fix the case range early.
What is accumulation and why does it matter?
Accumulation is buffer space between machines. It absorbs short stops so one machine does not stop the whole line.
