Wraparound Sleeve Machines

Discover T Freemantle’s range of wrap around sleeving machines, designed for high-speed, reliable secondary packaging of bottles, cans and multipacks across food, beverage and consumer goods production lines. Our wrap-around sleeve packers form cartons directly around products from flat board. As a result, they deliver strong packs, excellent pack stability and consistent shelf-ready presentation, even at high outputs. Wrap-around sleeving forms the carton around the product rather than applying a pre-formed sleeve. Therefore, it provides superior control and stability for bottle packs and other products that require precise grouping and containment.
