For a wide range of products, when it comes to packaging, as well as making items easy to store and transport, keeping them fresh and free from contamination is a key factor to consider. In recent years, producers in the food and food packaging industries, medical and pharmaceutical industries, and technical product manufacturers have increasingly turned to flow wrapping for packaging and protecting their products. 

At Intamac Packaging Systems, in our commitment to follow packaging trends across a wide range of industries, we have the IPS-AHP-400 and IPS-AHP-700 series horizontal flow wrappers for pillow pack style wrapping. Our flow pack equipment is designed to provide an efficient, automated solution to package an extensive range of products.

Here are some of the most important benefits provided by a horizontal flow wrapper:

Why Your Business Needs Horizontal Flow Wrappers

Flow wrappers help reduce packaging costs

In any industry, competition is fierce, so gaining cost advantages over competitors is essential. Moving to an automated flow wrapping solution helps to reduce costs and make packaging processes more efficient.

Flow wrappers help to preserve food products

A horizontal flow wrapper helps to preserve and protect a wide range of products by providing a tight seal against oxygen. Gas injection technology can also be used to help produce a protective atmosphere to increase shelf life of products.

Flow wrapping also helps to restrict the movement of a product within packaging, preventing it from being disturbed or damaged.

Flow wrappers make for neat transit and display

Flow wrapped products can be packed neatly, whether in outer packaging for transit or storage, or displayed on a retail shelf, without the need for extra resources.

Flow wrappers help increase margins

Flow wrapping allows products such as food produce to be sold in smaller quantities, rather than sold in bulk. As a result, selling smaller units leads to increased margins and creates added value from products.

Flow wrapping helps to prevent contamination

For products within the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries, protecting products from outside contamination is extremely important for the safety of the consumer or end users. Flow wrapping provides a protective barrier and seal.

Horizontal flow wrappers pack large orders in short periods of time

An automated flow wrapping system allows businesses to quickly react to customer orders and achieve complete packaging of even huge orders in a short period of time. As a result, short lead times can be met, making businesses more appealing to customers and helping them to grow by packaging larger volumes of products.
