At Cartamundi UK we have 6 high speed flow wrap lines capable of producing a total of 1,000,000 flow wraps per day. We can wrap in clear plastic, metallised foil or paper film (including food grade film), either printed or unprinted, with options for inline counting, collating and check-weighing.
We can produce either single wraps or bandoliers, and can punch circular holes or Euro slots into the seal for hanging the wraps.
The minimum/ maximum sizes for our flow wrapping lines are as follows:
Length: 60mm - 350mm
Width: 40mm - 140mm
Height: up to 60mm
We have high speed feeders, but can also hand feed bulkier items for more specialised work.

Flow wrapping is a fast, attractive and cost effective alternative to shrink wrapping or blister packing. A flow wrap consists of a product wrapped in a plastic or paper film, heat sealed top and bottom and up the centre of the back to create a distinctive 'fin' seal, which is often used to tear the wrapping open.
As the name suggests, flow wrapping is a continual process, with the end of each wrap forming the start of the next one. This allows flow wrapping to be faster and more efficient than other packaging options. With its relatively small pack size, low wastage and the ability to use sustainable paper film, flow wrapping can also be a particularly environmentally friendly way to pack a product.
We are able to wrap a wide range of items and of various shapes and sizes in printed or plain, clear plastic, metallised foil or paper film. Possible product types range from cards, leaflets and brochures up to 3D components such as boxes, dice, poker chips and counters.
As well as a standard stand alone wrap we can offer Euro slot and/ or bandolier finishing using films ranging from 30 micron clear through to printed metallised and food grade.
