Wraparound cartoning

Wraparound cartoning, or sleeving, is a popular pack style in many industries, especially when it comes to sustainable packaging solutions. Carton sleeves may replace plastic wraps. They conserve paper, energy, and consumables costs. Our proven wraparound cartoner equipment handles a wide range of different products, carton styles and shapes – you can even choose between a lock or glue carton closure. Moreover, the cartoning machines accommodate the sleeving of meal trays, tubs, and pots, either individually, double-row and stacked.

Handled with care

Our range of handling equipment complements the easy integration of Syntegon cartoning machines into packaging systems. You can add functions like collating, stacking, timing and placing randomly arriving products into chains or onto belts to feed endload or topload cartoner machines. Trust in our long-standing packaging expertise and proven technologies – from gentle handling to optimum transport protection.

Sustainability and cartoning

Syntegon´s sustainable solutions include cartoning equipment. All of our equipment is designed for maximum efficiency. Avoiding carton rejects is not only economically interesting, but also makes a positive contribution to the environment.

Furthermore, we offer various glue-saving cartoner technologies which make your secondary packaging particularly sustainable.

Guilt-free lock style forming

Lock style carton forming is the ideal technology to form completely glue-free cartons or trays for a wide range of products and carton sizes.

Our carton formers create precisely formed and locked cartons or trays for food products out of one carton blank – thus minimizing the amount of adhesives in your packaging processes.

Replacing plastic with paper trays

Replace your traditional plastic tray with a sustainable solid carton board version and win over eco-conscious consumers at the point of sale. Thanks to our environmentally friendly lock style carton forming technology, you can substitute conventional plastic trays for cookies with carton trays.

After forming the trays, the Syntegon RPP robotic pick and place platform will gently load your carton trays either flat, on-edge or both at high speed.

Less plastic with wraparound cardboad sleeves

On your path to sustainability, consider replacing plastic shrink wrap packaging with a highly sustainable cardboard sleeve, for example made from recycled cardboard fibres.

In addition to the sustainable benefit, cardboard offers attractive packaging options for branding and printing of important consumer information.

100% recycled carton materials

Our cartoning machines are designed to process cardboard materials consisting up to 100% recycled fibres.

The integrated topload cartoner machine TTM is particularly well suited for processing environmentally friendly materials with its precise carton forming process and full carton control from carton forming to loading and carton closing.
