Main Features of the Packaging Line

1. Item measuring and alignment station

The items are positioned on the line by the operator, or by means of a conveyor belt. Once in place, they are scanned and measured. The system sends the dimensions of the product to the next station, where the custom-made box is produced.
To optimize cardboard consumption, the machine uses only 2 widths of fanfold to produce the full range of box sizes.

2. Box production

On this workstation the right sized box is produced.
Thanks to the unique design of the box the packaging is very solid and the items inside the box cannot move around or be accidentally damaged. The tailor-made box allows you to optimize the consumption of cardboard and avoid the use of void fillers.

3. Coupling station

The items and invoice are automatically positioned on the reinforced bottom of the box.

4. Closing station

The box is wrapped around the contents on all four sides, regardless of the shape of the objects.

Patented packaging, to ensure maximum product protection

Patented by Panotec, the box has been designed with the aim of creating a special reinforcement at the four corners to provide a high level of protection of the items during transport. This protection is guaranteed even in case of boxes overlapping.

Thanks to the innovative production technology of the line, the fit-to-size box is produced with as little cardboard as possible.

Optional identification and control

Weighting system, check on weight
At the weighting station it is possible to check whether the weight of the package respects the limits values as required by the customer and/or the relevant standards currently in force.

Outfeed system, check on non-conforming products
The line has an outfeed system via which items that do not comply with specific requirements in terms of size and/or weight slide out of the packaging line.

Barcode scanner, 2 scan options
AUTOMATIC: The item runs through an omni-directional tunnel in which the Barcode is automatically scanned
MANUAL: The operator scans the bar code before the items enter the production line

Label printing and invoice

Label printing and invoice for a complete packaging process
The line is equipped with a labelling machine that applies the shipping label on the box. In addition, the invoice can be placed inside the packaging automatically.
