For over five decades, RPMI Packaging has built a reputation as a trusted, direct source of top-tier packaging equipment from industry pioneers. Our long-standing partnerships with these manufacturers enable us to consistently deliver exceptional products to our clients, ensuring seamless transactions and outstanding results.

The high-stakes world of modern manufacturing necessitates an efficient packaging line. It can either turbocharge your productivity and cost-effectiveness or slow you down. That’s where secondary packaging enters the picture—it’s the key to optimizing the final stages of packing, getting your products ready for transport and retail.

What is Secondary Packaging?

Secondary packaging equipment encompasses a variety of machines tailored for grouping individual items into larger units for distribution and sale. These include but are not limited to cartoning, case/tray erecting, tray forming, case packing, and robotic product loading and grouping.

These machines are crucial for manufacturers looking to enhance their packaging lines, boost operational efficiency, reduce labor costs, and minimize corrugate usage. At RPMI Packaging, we take pride in offering the following premium-quality equipment.

Case Packer Machine / Erecting and Sealing

A case packing machine automates the process of forming cases from flat blanks, significantly accelerating the packaging process. These units stand out for their rapid setup and the ability to consistently produce cases at high speeds, ensuring that packaging lines keep pace with manufacturing outputs. Like other secondary packaging machinery, case packing machines can be customized to fit specific packaging needs.

The CpONE Case & Tray Packer combines advanced motion control with robotic arms to improve machine usability and uptime. These robotic arms are designed to handle tasks like case setup, loading, and sealing, based on specific needs. Its flexible design allows it to adapt to different applications, speeds, and budgets, all while delivering a simple, reliable, and high-performance solution.

Tray Forming Machine / Industrial Shrink Wrapping Machine

For securing packages for retail or transit, using an industrial shrink wrapping machine offers an effective solution. This machine wraps products in a tight layer of plastic, providing protection and stability.

Shrink Wrapping Machine, which offers the following advantages:

  • Compact and economical shrink-wrap solution designed to interface with existing tray packers
  • Compatible with Douglas Invex and Axiom tray packers at speeds up to 40 trays per minute
  • Uses single film roll technology to eliminate costly maintenance problems associated with conventional cutting and sealing technologies
  • Optional print-registered film control allows for enhanced package appearance and branding

Single film roll technology not only slashes operational costs, but also ensures a seamless production process. Aside from being free from the disruptions and downtime that often plague older models, our equipment also offers an optional print-registered film control system, which allows businesses to transform their packaging into a powerful marketing tool.

Carton Packing Machines

Carton packing machines automate the packing of products into cartons, which not only accelerates packaging processes but also boosts productivity. They are specifically designed to pack flow wraps, bottles, cans, kits and other primary packaged products. An ideal solution for beverages or the bakery and confectionery industry, its versatility makes it perfect for products like cereal bars, chocolate bars, biscuits, muffins, and cupcakes. Take a look at our Vantra™ IM Cartoning Machinery–the perfect combination of innovation, versatility and simplicity.

Partition Inserter Machine

The precision with which partition inserter machines operate streamlines the insertion of partitions into packages. This is critical for products requiring additional separation and protection, enhancing packaging speed without compromising accuracy.

Take your case packing to the next level with the Model 70 Partition Openers/Inserters. With servo-powered opening and inserting, this machine ensures smooth opening, precise placement, and efficient case packer machine processes—every time.
