Overview

Flow wrapping designed around your packaging requirements

At E&B, we work with leading packaging machinery manufacturers to supply flow wrapping solutions tailored to individual production environments.
What is a flow wrapping machine?

A flow wrapping machine automatically wraps products in a continuous roll of flexible film, creating a sealed package that protects the product while providing an attractive retail presentation. The product is fed into the machine, enclosed within packaging film, sealed longitudinally and at each end before individual packs are cut and discharged, ready for further processing or distribution.

It’s a highly versatile packaging process, suitable for a wide variety of food and non-food products, and is commonly used where high production speeds and consistent packaging quality are essential.
