Contract Packing, also known as co-packing, plays a vital role in the supply chain by enabling businesses to outsource their packaging processes. This approach allows companies to concentrate on their core strengths while relying on packaging experts to deliver efficiency, cost savings, and consistently high-quality outcomes.
Within the contract packing sector, Flow Wrapping stands out as a widely used and flexible packaging solution. The process involves forming a bag from a continuous roll of film, placing the product inside, and sealing it securely on all sides. The result is a neat, fully enclosed package that protects the product and helps prolong its shelf life.
Understanding Flow Wrapping
The Flow Wrapping process is highly automated, starting with products being placed onto a conveyor system. A roll of heat-sealable plastic film is folded around each item, and the edges are sealed using heat or crimping methods. Finally, the continuous film tube is cut into individual packs, producing neatly sealed packages ready for distribution.
Flow wrapping is especially effective for items requiring a tight, protective seal—such as food products—or for combining multiple items into a single promotional pack.
Key Advantages of Flow Wrapping:
✓ Efficiency: High-speed operation makes it ideal for large-scale production.
✓ Flexibility: Accommodates a wide range of product shapes and sizes.
✓ Protection: Creates a secure barrier that helps preserve freshness and shields products from external contaminants.
Flow Wrapping is not only widely used in nuwe solutions but also highly valued for its many advantages. Its versatility and efficiency make it a preferred packaging method across a broad range of products.
One of the key advantages of Flow Wrapping is its cost-effectiveness. Compared to many alternative packaging methods, the materials required are typically more economical. Combined with the high level of automation, which reduces labour requirements and boosts production speed, Flow Wrapping helps businesses achieve a lower cost per unit while maintaining efficiency and quality.
Flow Wrapping delivers a secure seal that shields products from external factors such as air, moisture, and contaminants. This protective barrier is especially important for food items such as cake bars or dry noodle nests helping to preserve freshness and ensure they remain safe for consumption over an extended shelf life.
In today’s eco-conscious marketplace, sustainability has become a key priority for both businesses and consumers. Flow Wrapping supports this demand by allowing the use of recyclable or biodegradable films, helping to improve a product’s environmental credentials. Additionally, the precise, tight wrapping reduces unnecessary material usage, cutting down on packaging waste.
Flow Wrapped products present a sleek, uniform appearance that enhances shelf appeal while providing strong branding opportunities. The packaging film can be customised with high-quality graphics, logos, and essential product details such as nutritional information turning each pack into a direct and effective marketing tool.
Flow Wrapping is highly versatile, accommodating a wide variety of product sizes, shapes, and textures. From confectionery tailored for the hospitality sector to more unconventional items such as bamboo-style kebab sticks, the process can be customised to ensure a precise and secure fit for each product.
With the aid of modern technology, Flow Wrapping machines can operate at remarkable speeds, making them an ideal choice for meeting high-demand production requirements. At the same time, the process delivers consistent, uniform packaging an essential factor in maintaining product quality and strengthening brand reputation.
The versatility of Flow Wrapping makes it an ideal packaging solution for a wide spectrum of products. Its adaptability ensures that items across different industries can benefit from its efficiency, protection, and presentation. Below are some of the key product categories where Flow Wrapping proves most effective.
The suitability of a product for Flow Wrapping is typically influenced by factors such as size, shape, and fragility. However, with advancements in bespoke packaging solutions, even items that were once considered difficult to package can now be effectively and efficiently wrapped.
Food Industry Applications
Flow Wrapping is particularly effective in the food sector, where maintaining freshness and extending shelf life are critical.
Cake Bars: These products require an airtight seal to lock in moisture and preserve their texture. Flow Wrapping ensures they stay fresh from production through to consumption.
Dry Noodle Nests: Packaging for dry goods must guard against humidity and contaminants. Flow Wrapping provides this essential protection while also offering space for clear, attractive, and informative labelling.
Non-Food Applications
The use of Flow Wrapping extends well beyond the food industry. It is especially effective for non-food items that require bundling or come in irregular shapes.
Bamboo-Style Kebab Sticks: Flow Wrapping provides the precision needed to package these items in multi-pack quantities up to twelve per packet, creating neat, convenient bundles that are easy for consumers to handle and store.
Hospitality Applications
Flow Wrapping is especially valuable for individually packaged items, a key requirement in the hospitality sector where hygiene and presentation are paramount.
Chocolates and Mint Imperials: Commonly offered as complimentary treats, these confections can be individually flow wrapped to ensure freshness, maintain hygiene standards, and add a personalised touch to the guest experience.
