High speed forming, cutting, and wrapping for side fold packaging with comic strip
In the confectionery industry, there is a need for efficient packaging solutions that can handle high production speeds while incorporating unique elements like comic strips. This is particularly relevant for products such as soft caramels, toffees, and chewy sweets, where packaging aesthetics and speed are critical.

Achieve 1,000 side-fold wrapped products per minute
The U1-EFC by Theegarten-Pactec is designed to meet the demands of high-speed production for products wrapped in side folds with an integrated comic strip. This machine handles up to 1,000 products per minute, ensuring both speed and precision. The packaging material, consisting of the outer wrapper and comic strip, is fed from a single reel and separated by a fixed knife. This guarantees that the comic strip or sticker is accurately placed as an inner wrap, enhancing the visual appeal of the final product. The U1-EFC is ideal for products like soft caramels, toffees, and chewy sweets that benefit from decorative packaging. Moreover, the compact design ensures it fits into efficient production lines without requiring significant space. An alternative option, the EW8, is available for lower output rates, offering flexibility in production.
