Packaging machines

Packaging machinery encompasses all machines used for packaging, labelling and sealing products in the food, pharmaceutical and consumer goods industries. Key categories include filling machines for liquid and paste-like products, as well as vacuum packaging machines and sealing machines for film packaging.

For secondary packaging, cartoning machines, film wrappers, shrink-wrapping systems for tunnel and gun shrink-wrapping, as well as wrapping and stretch-wrapping machines for pallet packaging are used. Labelling machines apply self-adhesive, wet-glue or sleeve labels.

Leading manufacturers include Multivac, Bosch Packaging, ROVEMA, Marchesini, KHS, Krones, Sidel, Sealed Air, Robopac and Herma.

Packaging machines are used in the food industry, pharmaceutical and cosmetics production, the chemical sector, consumer goods manufacturing, and in logistics centres with their own packaging lines.
