Bottle Packaging

Primary packaging

Primary packaging consists of the bottle itself, in either glass, PET or “metal bottles” (the latter not being cans). Enterprise has supplied bottling and packaging equipment for bottle sizes from 50 ml (in the case of spirit miniatures) up to 19-litre polycarbonate returnable water coolers – and everything in between. These would fall under the heading of bottle fillers – see here for more details.

Secondary packaging

Secondary bottle packaging equipment includes anything the bottle is packaged into. Enterprise Tondelli can supply the following secondary packaging machines:-

Film-only shrink wrappers
Flat board shrink wrappers
Tray and film shrink wrappers
High-sided tray erector/loaders
Wraparound cartoners
Combined machines for any combination of the above
Also special equipment for the detergent industry such as tray erectors which then have an over tray that can easily be removed for shelf-ready packaging
American cartons with top and bottom flaps either glued or taped
Combination machine – for wraparound cartons and American cartons on the same machine!
Individual bottle carton erectors for high-value spirits etc
Newly patented “rouge” packer where a corrugated board is used for heavy bottles as an open-ended sleeve with very reduced energy costs compared to traditional PET bottle packaging
Quincunx packs
¼ tray loaders
Also doypack loaders

The list is almost endless.

We are sure that we can supply most types of secondary packaging – click here for further details.

Tertiary packaging

Sometimes called multi-packing, the terms secondary and tertiary are somewhat interchangeable depending on the context. Enterprise can supply a wide range of tertiary or multi-packing from printed film-only packs using a special heat tunnel for near-perfect shrining to kraft board multipacks.

Recent projects included:-

Kraft board FEC (fully enclosed carton) for 4 packs 330 ml bottles
Open-ended kraft board glued sleeves with a crown in or neck through configurations
Film-only multipacks of bottles with a printed film and a special heat shrink tunnel with moving walls for near-perfect shrinkage and brilliant graphic retention
Machines for card or plastic neck clips to make a multipack
