Flow wrappers

Horizontal wrapping routes for individual packs and regular product formats.

Product option

Flow Wrappers

Flow wrappers are different from L-sealers but can be the correct packaging route for products that need continuous horizontal wrapping. They are often considered for food products, bakery items, bars, stationery, hardware, household goods and similar regular shapes.

  • Continuous horizontal wrapping for defined product formats.
  • Useful for individual products and repeat pack sizes.
  • Can include coding, feeding and downstream packing options.
  • Specification depends heavily on product shape, infeed and film type.

Specification guidance

Key checks before quoting

Final machine selection should be matched to real products, film, output, space and available utilities.

Why it matters

How this route is usually selected

High repeatability

Well suited to repeat products with consistent dimensions.

End-to-end line thinking

Feeding, coding and outfeed handling should be specified as part of the wrapper project.

Alternative to shrink

Often better than L-sealing when the product and output suit horizontal flow wrapping.
