SOLLAS High-End Overwrapping Machinery

High-end products should be wrapped and sealed using high-quality machinery. Sollas has earned a reputation for both quality and innovation with our line of reliable packaging machines.

Overwrapping is used to protect square and rectangular products from damage, moisture, and theft. Also called tuck and fold wrapping, overwrapping creates a neat “gift wrapped” look that is ideal for packaging pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foods, coffee, stationary, and other small and medium-sized products.

Overwrapping vs Shrink Wrapping

Do you need an over wrapper, a shrink wrapper, or both?

Overwrapping has several benefits over shrink wrap. For one, it’s more energy efficient. The use of shrink wrap requires each package to go through a heat tunnel so that the polyethylene film fitted loosely around it shrinks to fit. Because over wrapper uses a “tuck and fold” style of wrapping, it only needs to use heat where the seal is.

A typical shrink wrapper uses between 20 and 30 kilowatts – Sollas overwrapping machines only use between 2 and 6 kilowatts. If you’re using shrink wrap now, switching to a tuck-and-fold packaging method can help you save on energy costs over time.

Another reason customers tend to prefer overwrapper is that it simply looks nicer. The crisp polypropylene film folds at each end to give every package a neat, gift-wrapped appearance.

There are, however, situations where a shrink wrapper is recommended. You should use it for oddly shaped products that cannot be easily “gift wrapped”.

Overwrapping vs Flow Wrapping

Also known as horizontal bagging, flow wrapping is primarily used to package food products in a way that’s easy to open and reseal. Potato chip bags, candy wrappers, and energy bars all examples of products that are sealed using a flow wrapper.

Compared with a flow wrapper, an over wrapper uses less film. Both types of packaging use polypropylene film, but overwrapping offers greater versatility and can also be done with other materials such as paper, wax paper, or cellophane.

Flow wrapper is recommended for products, typically food, that requires an airtight seal. In any other case, overwrapping is superior in attractiveness and sustainability.
