In contract packaging, every second on the line matters. Co-packers must adapt quickly to new SKUs, changing formats, and customer timelines, all while maintaining throughput and presentation quality. That’s why more operations are upgrading their end-of-line equipment to Polypack systems built for flexibility, uptime, and lasting performance.
Built for Contract Packaging Flexibility
Modern co-packing lines handle everything from seasonal multi-packs to private-label test runs. Polypack machines are engineered for that reality. Our shrink bundlers, tray wrappers, and wraparound case packers are designed to:
Run unsupported, pad, or tray formats on one platform
Handle quick changeovers with tool-less adjustments and stored recipes
Integrate seamlessly with upstream fillers, cartoners, and conveyors
Produce retail-ready multipacks using registered or clear film
This flexibility lets co-packers say “yes” to more customers without buying a second line.
End-of-Line Automation That Protects Margins
Downtime and rework eat directly into profit. Polypack systems are built to maximize uptime with:
Heavy-duty stainless construction for continuous operation
Smart diagnostics and clear operator interfaces for fast recovery
Energy-efficient shrink tunnels that save utility costs
Compact footprints that fit into existing lines without re-layout
Reliable automation keeps co-packers running longer, reducing overtime and film waste.
Made and Supported in the USA
All Polypack machines are built and serviced from our headquarters in Pinellas Park, Florida. That means:
Faster lead times for new equipment and spare parts
Direct access to engineers who understand your line
Local training and support that keep your operators confident
Co-packers can count on U.S.-made quality and service that scales with their growth.
Sustainability Without Sacrificing Speed
Brands increasingly demand packaging that reduces plastic, energy, and emissions. Polypack helps co-packers meet those goals with:
Optimized film paths and tension control for thinner film gauges
Tight shrink control that reduces waste and rewraps
Right-sized tunnels that lower energy consumption per pack
Sustainability and performance go hand-in-hand at the end of your line.
Why It Matters Now
The demand for flexible end-of-line automation is growing fast. As CPGs outsource more SKUs and formats to co-packers, the ability to pivot quickly and maintain presentation quality, will separate the busiest plants from the rest. Polypack’s modular, serviceable designs give contract packagers the control they need to stay profitable in a constantly changing market.
