Packaging Automation Equipment
Protect products during storage and shipment using paper cushioning, inflatable air, cold-seal materials, shrink film, or skin-packaging equipment selected around the product and package.
The correct method depends on product fragility, weight, finished presentation, shipping environment, packaging material, volume, and operator workflow.
Explore Packaging Automation SolutionsEquipment is grouped by protection method so the material and workflow can be matched to the product.

Thrifty Pack, ShipMate, and Master Pack systems.
Five areas usually determine the material and the equipment together.
Document how much protection the product needs, where damage typically occurs, and how the item behaves in transit.
Determine whether the goal is filling space, absorbing impact, protecting surfaces, or holding the product in position.
Consider whether the finished package must display the product, be reusable, or match a specific unboxing experience.
Review the packaging material, recyclability expectations, storage conditions, and the handling the shipment will receive.
Evaluate daily volume, the number of packing stations, operator workflow, material staging, and available space.
Compare bag and mailer packaging where a protective mailer may replace a box and void fill.

Explore Service & SupportProtective packaging equipment creates cushioning, void fill, containment, surface protection, or a specialty package around a product. Systems may convert paper or film at the packing station, create a cold-sealed pouch, shrink film around a product, or draw skin film over a product and backer board.
Paper systems convert kraft paper into pads used for void fill, wrapping, blocking, and bracing. Air systems inflate film on demand to fill space and absorb impact. The right choice depends on product weight and fragility, packing-station workflow, material handling, and the presentation the shipment requires.
Cold-seal packaging forms a package using materials that bond under pressure rather than heat. It is commonly used for books, publications, parts, kits, and other items where a heat process is not desirable or necessary.
Skin packaging draws transparent film over a product and a compatible backer material so the film conforms to the product. The result holds the product in place, keeps it visible, and provides protection during handling and display.
Describe the product, the shipment, and the packing workflow, and ATP can help identify an appropriate protective or specialty packaging method.
