Wrap around case packing machines offer a highly efficient, all-in-one solution for secondary packaging. Unlike traditional case packers that load products into a pre-erected case, a wrap around machine takes a flat, die-cut cardboard blank and forms it tightly around a pre-collated group of products.
This method forms, loads, and seals the case in one continuous, compact operation. By creating a very tight, perfectly ‘square’ case, this technology is ideal for high-speed lines and for producing retail-ready packaging (RRP) with high-quality graphics and perforations.
This technology provides a more advanced and cost-effective alternative to traditional RSC case packing, offering superior pack quality and material savings.

A high-capacity, ergonomic magazine that holds a large number of flat, unglued cardboard blanks, allowing for long production runs with minimal operator intervention
A sophisticated infeed (using servo-driven belts, stackers, or 'racetracks') that receives products from the primary line and automatically groups them into the precise collation pattern (e.g., 6x4 bottles).
The machine typically loads the product collation horizontally onto the flat blank before it is folded. This gentle, positive handling is ideal for rigid items like bottles, jars, and cartons.
A series of precision-engineered guides and mechanical 'ploughs' that expertly fold the blank's panels up and around the product collation as it moves through the machine, followed by a compression section to set the glue.
Wrap around machines exclusively use a hot-melt glue system. Precision nozzles apply glue to the case flaps just before folding, ensuring a rapid, strong, and tamper-evident bond.
Cardboard box
Instead of dropping products into a pre-erected box, the machine takes a flat cardboard blank and folds it tightly around the product collation.
It creates a tighter, more stable case, uses less cardboard than RSC boxes, and is ideal for retail-ready packaging.
Yes, a wrap around machine often combines erecting, loading, and sealing into a single compact unit.
Because the case is formed exactly to the product size, you can often fit more units on a pallet.
Perfect for rigid items like bottles, jars, cans, and cartons that can support the folding process.
