Vimco Wrap Around machines form, load, and close transport or display cases from a flat die-cut blank that is shaped directly around the product during the packaging cycle. This process makes it possible to obtain compact, precise packages that are perfectly adapted to the contents, optimising material use and improving logistics efficiency.

Unlike solutions that use pre-glued cases, the board takes its final shape by wrapping around the product or group of products and is then sealed with hot-melt glue, ensuring structural strength, protection, and a high-quality aesthetic for the final package.

Wrap Around technology offers maximum application flexibility: from the classic transport case to shelf-ready display trays, through to more advanced configurations such as trays with lids. Fast, intuitive format changes make it ideal for lines with frequent product reference changes. Each project is developed starting with the actual product and the optimal product grouping to define a machine configuration perfectly integrated with the customer’s production requirements.

Why choose Vimco Wrap Around systems

Each Vimco Wrap Around system is sized according to the actual specifications of the process: required packaging type, output configuration, and blank characteristics. Below are the concrete advantages this choice brings to your line.

Four output types on the same machine

Wrap Around case, display tray, tray with lid, or customized solution: the output configuration is defined during the project phase, according to the blank and the product’s destination. A different machine is not required for each packaging type.

Tray with lid

For display boxes with separate bottom and lid, the machine manages two separate magazines. The product enters after the bottom has been formed, and the lid locks it in place before outfeed, all within a single continuous flow.

From flat die-cut blank to package

There is no need to manage pre-glued cases in stock. The flat die-cut blank enters the machine, wraps around the product group, and takes its final shape during the cycle. Less upstream storage, less management of pre-formed material.

Shelf-ready display boxes

The display tray exits the machine already filled and closed, ready to be placed directly at the point of sale. No intermediate step between production and display: the packaging is already part of the product communication.

Product reference changeover with minimal intervention

Format changeover operations require less intervention than other end-of-line technologies. Ideal for lines that experience frequent changes in product references or packaging types from one production run to the next.

In which sectors do our machines operate?

Bakery & Biscuits

Pastry and bakery products intended for large-scale retail distribution require display boxes that communicate the product on the shelf without any further setup. The Wrap Around system forms the tray, loads the group, and applies the lid, so the display reaches the point of sale already ready, with no intermediate steps between production and shelf display.

Chocolate & Confectionary

Chocolate bars and gift packs require secondary packaging that enhances the product and protects it. The blank wraps around the group with the precision needed to preserve the aesthetics of the package: the display box exits closed and ready for the shelf, without compromising the finish of the primary packaging.

Coffee & Tea

Coffee and tea packs require display boxes suitable for direct point-of-sale display. The machine manages the display tray configuration with a separate lid: formed bottom, loaded product, applied lid, all in a single continuous flow.

Frozen Food

Frozen products require structurally robust transport cases that can withstand cold-room storage. The blank wraps around the group, and hot-melt sealing ensures hold even at sub-zero temperatures, without the need to manage pre-glued cases that would take up space in the warehouse.

Pet Food

Products in pouches are available in variable formats and require frequent packaging changes. The Wrap Around system manages these variations with minimal format changeover intervention.

Dairy

Dairy products in multipacks require display boxes suitable for direct display on refrigerated shelves. The tray with lid exits already filled and closed, and the retailer can position it directly, without opening the case or setting up the display separately.

Baby Food

Baby food packages require secondary packaging that protects the product and makes it easily recognisable on the shelf. The display tray geometry is defined according to the actual product; the product grouping ensures stability during transport and visibility at the point of sale.

Pasta, Rice & Cereals

Pasta and cereal packs are shipped in Wrap Around cases for high-volume deliveries. The blank wraps around the group in a continuous cycle: no pre-glued cases to manage in the warehouse, and no intermediate step before final sealing.

Ready Meals

Ready meals must reach the point of sale in display boxes that present them correctly on the shelf. The Wrap Around system forms the bottom, loads the group from the loading station, and applies the lid, which keeps the trays securely in position.

Personal & Home Care

Candles and cosmetic products require display boxes with a refined finish that enhances the product on the shelf. The customised blank wraps around the group with precision: the final packaging is already a product presentation, not just a transport container.

Non-Food

Components and industrial products require robust transport cases, without the complexity of managing pre-glued cases in stock. The Wrap Around system forms the case around the group directly in line, and hot-melt sealing ensures structural hold even with heavy products.
