Overwrapping

Technology

Medium and high-speed machines designed
to wrap single and multiple products

This technology is crucial for industries requiring product integrity, tamper-evident, multi-packs and high-quality package appearance. These systems typically incorporate a range of advanced technical solutions to optimize performance and reliability. Common features include inline tear-tape units for easy opening, double reel holders for extended operation, and automatic film splicing devices that minimize downtime during film changes. This technology serves industries like food, coffee, tea & herbs, personal and home care, pharmaceutical, tissue & nonwoven and tobacco.

    Sealing and protection capabilities

    A key strength of modern overwrapping technology lies in its ability to adapt to a wide variety of product and packaging requirements—delivering both visual appeal and robust protection. Depending on the application, sealing can be performed on the bottom of the pack or via transversal trailing edge sealing, a method that produces a tight, flawless finish. This is particularly effective for packaging where appearance plays a central role – such as in the cosmetics sector – enhancing shelf presence and reinforcing brand perception.

    Adaptability to diverse product needs

    Another significant advantage of overwrapping technology is its adaptability to diverse product needs. For instance, some specialized models offer airtight sealing capabilities. This feature is particularly vital for products sensitive to humidity, as it provides excellent moisture resistance and significantly extends overall shelf life. The ability to create such a protective barrier ensures product quality and freshness from production to consumption.

    Embracing sustainable
    packaging 

    In line with global sustainability efforts, modern high-speed overwrapping technology is increasingly compatible with innovative, eco-friendly materials. This includes the ability to work seamlessly with transparent heat-sealable compostable films and recyclable paper-based wrapping materials, which are also often heat-sealable and printable. This compatibility allows companies to create attractive and functional packaging solutions while actively reducing their environmental footprint.
