Flow wrappers, a subset of horizontal form/fill/seal machinery, utilize a film reel positioned above the operating level to encase products horizontally, creating a longitudinal seal beneath the package. This equipment is adept at handling a variety of items, often used for enclosing single units of consumables such as candy bars, granola bars, and similar small goods. Its design facilitates efficient packaging processes, making it suitable for industries seeking to maintain product integrity while ensuring visual appeal and protection.

Typical products and applications include:

• Candy bars, granola bars, and protein bars: Wrapped individually for freshness and branding
• Cookies, crackers, and pastries: Enclosed in film to preserve texture and flavor
• Medical devices or personal care items: Such as bandages or wipes, packaged for hygienic, single-use applications
• Cheese sticks or snack items: Packaged into convenient, easy-open formats for on-the-go consumption
• Hardware or small parts kits: Wrapped for tamper-evident, shelf-ready presentation

Additional Considerations:

• Supports high-speed, continuous packaging: Ideal for medium to high-volume production lines
• Creates a tight, protective seal: Helps preserve freshness, extend shelf life, and reduce contamination risk
• Compatible with various film types: Works with clear, printed, or barrier films for diverse applications
• Delivers consistent, professional packaging appearance: Enhances shelf appeal and brand presentation
• Integrates with feeding, labeling, and coding systems: Common in turnkey automated packaging solutions
