Automatic Multi-Carton Collation & Clear Film Bundle Overwrapping Machines

Stack, collate, and tightly overwrap 5-pack, 6-pack, and 10-pack carton bundles (5×1, 5×2, 3×2) in clear 25–30 micron BOPP without outer paperboard boxes.

Replacing Outer Display Cartons with Tight Clear BOPP Bundles

Pharmaceutical wholesalers, travel-retail confectioners, tea packers, and tobacco/vape plants routinely group 5, 6, 10, or 12 individual cartons into handling multipacks. Within semi-auto and bundle wrappers and cellophane wrapping machines, automatic collation bundle overwrappers stack unit cartons into 5×1, 5×2, or 3×2 formations and apply a drum-tight 3D BOPP envelope with tear tape.

Compared with corrugated or chipboard outer cartons, clear 25–30 μm BOPP bundling cuts packaging weight and material spend dramatically while leaving unit artwork and lot codes visible from the outside.

Mechanical tucking fingers and PID-heated side plates fold 22–30 μm BOPP tightly over rigid cuboid edges without shrinking the carton.

Common Multi-Carton Collation Patterns & Speeds

Typical grouping configurations downstream of unit overwrappers or cartoners:

Collation Matrix Unit Cartons / Bundle Infeed Unit Speed Output Bundle Speed Typical Industry
5 × 1 Single Row 5 cartons 100 cartons/min 20 bundles/min Cosmetics, soap, tea, OTC pharma
5 × 2 Double Layer 10 cartons 150 cartons/min 15 bundles/min Tobacco/vape, blister pharma, gum
3 × 2 × 2 Block 12 cartons 120 cartons/min 10 bundles/min Confectionery, nutraceuticals, cards
2 × 1 Twin Promo 2 cartons 90 cartons/min 45 twin-packs/min Retail BOGO / duty-free gift duos

3D Overwrapping Engineering Notes

  • Pneumatic / Servo Elevating Stacker: Up-stacking or side-collating magazines count exact carton groups before a single servo stroke pushes the block into the BOPP curtain.
  • Wider Heavy-Gauge Tear Tape: Specify 2.5–3.0 mm tear tape on multi-pack bundles so warehouse staff split 10-packs cleanly on retail shelves.
  • Zero Shrink-Tunnel Heat: Tight mechanical BOPP folding avoids the 160 °C shrink-tunnel heat that could warp unit overwraps underneath.
