Buyer's guide

How a wrap around case packer works

A wrap around case packer groups products such as bottles, cans or cartons and folds a flat corrugated blank tightly around them, then glues the case closed. Because the case is formed around the products, it fits closely and gives a strong, compact shipper.

Wrap around cases often use less board than pre-made cartons and the whole process, from collating to sealing, runs automatically at line speed.
