The Bottom Line: Understanding the Cost of Flow Wrapping

At Record Packaging Solutions, we often talk about flow wrapping as a cost-effective mass packaging method– but how much does it actually cost? Read on to find out!

Flow Wrapping: Low-Cost, High-Quality Packaging

A flow wrapping machine works by sealing a roll of film around individual products using heat and pressure, before cutting around each product to reveal the fully wrapped item. Flow wrapping can be done using Horizontal Form-Fill-Seal (HFFS), or Vertical Form-Fill-Seal (VFFS) machinery, depending on the type of product you are producing. It is a widely used and relatively cheap way of wrapping items, offering benefits like high speed automation and plenty of surface area on each package that can be designed to your specifications.

“How Much Does Flow Wrapping Cost?”

The overall cost of flow wrapping depends on a lot of different factors, including the size and amount of products you need to wrap, and any specific requirements within your industry. The most expensive start-up cost is generally a flow wrapper, but there are more affordable options, including high-quality refurbished machinery. Since flow wrappers are modular, they are also inherently scalable, meaning that your initial investment can be easily modified and can grow with your company over time as required.
