The Most Efficient Packaging

When you’re packaging your product, there are a few things you always want:

• It should look be attractive to appeal to your customer

• It should protect what’s inside

• It should use as little material as possible

At Polypack, we design machines that help you package smarter, faster, and with less waste. Here’s a simple guide to help you understand what efficient packaging really means and how we can help you get there.

Step 1: Think About Shape

The shape of your product affects how it should be packaged. Here's why:

• If your product is round, like bottles or cans, they fit together best in a honeycomb (hexagon) pattern. This packs them tightly together, saving space and materials.

  👉 Polypack Shrink Bundlers are perfect for this kind of packaging. They group your bottles efficiently and use just the right amount of shrink film.

  
  

• If your product is square or boxy, like cartons or cases, it stacks well in a grid. This method isn’t quite as tight as honeycomb packing, but it’s still very efficient — especially on a pallet.

  👉 For that, check out our Tray Wrappers and Corrugated Packaging Solutions.

Step 2: Choose the Right Machine

Once you know your product’s shape and how it should be packed, the next step is to choose a machine that does it efficiently — every time, at high speed.

Here are a few of our most popular options:

• Shrink Wrap Machines – Great for wrapping bottles, cans, and jars in tight, clear bundles.

• Printed Film Packaging – Show off your brand while keeping materials low.

• Tray + Shrink Combos – Great for heavier products that need extra support.

Step 3: Look at the Big Picture

Efficient packaging isn’t just about space, it can help your entire business:

• 💰 Save money by using less plastic or cardboard

• 🌱 Use sustainable materials to meet environmental goals

• 📦 Speed up your line and cut down on manual labor

• 🛒 Make your product stand out on the shelf

  
  

Polypack machines are built to help you do all of that, without needing a giant team or complicated setup.

Bonus Tips

Before you lock in your packaging setup, think about:

• Cost: Can you reduce film use or switch to lighter trays?

• Durability: Will your product survive shipping and storage?

• Labeling: Make sure all info is clear and easy to read.
