Beer Tray Forming &
Shrink Packaging Machines
Polypack builds tray formers and shrink packaging machines for breweries, from craft brewers to national brands. Package aluminum cans and bottles in corrugated trays, clear or printed shrink film and tray-free Nested Pack® multipacks. Share your can size, pack pattern, target speed and floor space and we’ll recommend the best-fit system.
BEVERAGE PACKagING Solutions:
Corrugated Trays
Polypack tray formers fold a corrugated blank into a tray around the cans, then a tray shrink wrapper wraps the pack in film. Tray and shrink packs can save up to 50% compared to standard RSC cases while keeping rows of cans aligned for stacking and shipping.
Best for: 12-, 18- and 24-can trays, mixed packs, distribution and club store packs
Tallboy and King Can 3-Packs
Polypack shrink wrappers bundle large-format cans into retail 3-packs and multipacks, including 16 oz tallboys, 19.2 oz stovepipe cans and 24 oz king cans. The Clearprint runs print-registered film, so breweries get fully branded packs without cartons or trays.
Best for: single-serve 3-packs, seasonal releases, convenience store packs
Printed Shrink Film
Print registration places your artwork in the same spot on every pack. Photo eyes detect a registration mark on the film and cut each piece so it lands on the cans in the same position every time. The Clearprint runs print-registered, random-printed and clear film on the same machine.
Nested Pack® Multipacks Without Trays
Polypack’s patented offset collation nests round cans into a set pattern on the Clearprint before they’re wrapped. Because the cans are locked in place, they can’t shift during handling, and the pack holds together without trays or pads, saving on corrugated.
Unwrapper for Co-Packers
The Polypack Unwrapper automatically removes film from incoming bundles so workers don’t have to cut it by hand with open blades. Product comes out film-free and ready for the next step in the multipacking process.

“This new machine will increase our production capacity by roughly three times, allowing us to bottle much faster and fulfill more orders as we expand into additional grocery and convenience retailers. It will make our operations more efficient and consistent, while also improving the look and uniformity of our packaging and driving long-term cost savings for our business.”
