Wrap Around Case Packer

Reduce Material Costs with Wrap Around Case Packer – Forms, Loads, & Seals Stronger, More Consistent Cases

Massman Automation’s Wrap Around Case Packer forms corrugated blanks tightly around your product to create strong, square, and cost-efficient packaging. Designed to handle wrap around, harness-style, and tray blanks, this system delivers superior case integrity while reducing corrugate usage compared to traditional RSC packaging.

By eliminating the need for pre-glued manufacturer’s joints, wraparound case packing lowers material costs and increases case blank magazine capacity. The result is improved packaging efficiency, better pallet stability, and consistent case quality across a wide range of industries including food, beverage, and consumer goods.

Built for durability and multi-shift operation, each machine is engineered to meet your specific application and deliver reliable throughput, simplified operation, and long-term performance.

 

How It Works

Wrap around, harness, or tray blanks are loaded into a case blank magazine and automatically fed into the machine. Each blank is precisely erected in the set-up station and indexed into the loading area, where product is placed into the case using a method tailored to the application — such as robotic pick-and-place, cross push, or gantry loading.

Once loaded, the case advances through the gluing station where major and minor flaps are folded and sealed using a hot melt system. The case is then squared and compressed to ensure proper bonding and structural integrity before being discharged for downstream handling or palletizing.

This controlled, continuous process ensures accurate product placement, consistent case formation, and high-quality output across all supported case styles.
