Sleeving machine

BAKERY & BISCUITS, CHEMICAL FARMACEUTICAL, DAIRY, NON FOOD, PERSONAL & HOME CARE, READY MEALS

Vimco sleeving machines apply cardboard sleeves around single products or groups of products, (clustering machines) creating neat, recognizable packs that are perfectly enhanced at the point of sale. This is an effective solution for identifying, grouping, and presenting the product without fully enclosing it, thereby optimizing both materials and the packaging’s visual impact.

The sleeve is placed around the product and fixed with hot-melt glue, with bottom, side, or top closure, depending on the product characteristics and application specifications. This ensures a precise, stable, and aesthetically refined result, even on delicate primary packs or products with complex geometries.

Vimco sleeving machines ensure high performance and production continuity, even in high-speed environments. Fast and intuitive format changeovers guarantee maximum operational flexibility. The range includes solutions dedicated to single products and grouped products, such as pots, bricks, and cans. For non-standard sizes or formats, Vimco develops custom configurations in-house, perfectly integrated with the customer’s production requirements.

Why choose Vimco sleeving machines

Each Vimco sleeving machine is sized according to the process specifications: product type, group arrangement, and required closing system. Below are the advantages this choice brings to your line.

Three closing positions

The sleeve closure is generally positioned on the bottom of the product, but the this can be agreed with the customer during the engineering phase.

Single product or group

Vimco sleeving machines handle both single products and group of products

Dedicated models for each type

The range is divided into clustering machines for multipacks or sleeving machines for single products: each series is sized according to the characteristics of each product category. For products with special shapes or dimensions, we design dedicated solutions in-house.

Up to 250 sleeves per minute

Speed is electronically adjustable with no mechanical intervention. Models dedicated to single product or multipacks reach up to 250 pcs/min.

Dedicated models for each type Hot-melt closure

Hot-melt ensures a permanent closure for products intended for large-scale retail distribution, with high sealing requirements.

In which sectors do our machines operate?

Dairy

Yoghurt pots and dairy products exit the line as single units or in 4- or 6-piece multipacks. The sleeving machine wraps the group in the required arrangement and closes the sleeve on the bottom. In this way, the multipack exits in a compact, ready-for-large-scale retail display form, with no further steps required.

Ready Meals

Ready meals require a sleeve that identifies the product and protects it during handling. Side or top closure is determined by how the tray is displayed on the shelf and how the end consumer opens it.

Bakery & Biscuits

Brioche packs and bakery products are often supplied in multipacks and need to be grouped without damaging the primary wrapper. The cardboard sleeve wraps around the group without exerting excessive pressure and closes with hot-melt adhesive, so the primary packaging remains intact throughout the distribution chain.

Personal & Home Care

Candles and cosmetic products require a sleeve that enhances and groups them. Hook closure is suitable for packs with special finishes where glue could alter the surface; for this reason, the sleeve can be applied and removed without leaving residue.

Chimico Farmaceutico

Bottles and pharmaceutical packs require a sleeve that can group the multipack while maintaining the integrity of each unit. Hook closure is the correct choice for products with primary packaging that is sensitive to glue.

Non-Food

Bricks, cans, and industrial containers grouped in multipacks require a robust closure that withstands transport and warehouse handling. The hot-melt sleeve ensures group stability even on heavy formats or products with irregular geometries.
