Can Packaging

Can Packaging

Primary packaging

Primary packaging consists of packaging that comes into direct contact with the product (i.e the can itself). Enterprise has supplied canning and packaging equipment for sizes from 150 ml in the case of mixers, up to 568 ml or pint cans for beer  – and everything in between. See our pages on can filling for more details.

Secondary packaging

Secondary packaging includes anything the can 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 erectors/loaders
  • Wraparound cartoners
  • Combined machines for any combination of the above.
  • American cartons with top and bottom flaps either glued or taped
  • Combination machine for wraparound cartons and American cartons on the same machine!
  • Quincunx packs
  • ¼ tray loaders
  • Also doypack loaders

The list is almost endless…

We are confident that we can supply most types of secondary packaging.

Tertiary packaging

Sometimes called multi-packing, this term is often used interchangeably with secondary packaging. 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 and 5 packs x 330 ml cans
  • Open-ended kraft board glued sleeves
  • Film-only multipacks of cans 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
