Automated Stretch Wrapping for Corrugated Boxes & Folded Cartons
Eliminate product rejection caused by plastic strapping. Secure towering stacks of flattened corrugated boxes, individual boxes, e-commerce orders, and bundled cartons utilizing fully automatic inline bundling. Because our horizontal ring wrap machines keep the product stationary, our continuous-flow wrappers completely prevent straps from cutting into cardboard edges - perfect for securing pallet-less items and eliminating the need for extra outer cartons. Featuring pneumatic top compression, native ERP and WMS connectivity (via OPC UA, MQTT, and EtherNet/IP) for total traceability, real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics, and compact footprints engineered to slot directly into inline packaging lines, we deliver perfect flat-packs directly off converter lines.

The Damage & Cost Bottleneck: Strapping Edge Crush & Excess Outer Packaging
Corrugated converting plants lose thousands in ruined inventory daily when plastic strapping cuts into folded cartons. Meanwhile, high-speed e-commerce, kitting, and distribution hubs burn capital by placing already-boxed goods into secondary outer shipping cartons or loose poly bags.
The Solution: Distributed Stretch Film Tension to minimize product damage compared to traditional strapping. The Dynawrap Pro 1700 replaces banding and extra cartons completely. Instead of concentrated point-loads, the orbital ring rotates a wide film web around the stationary product. This binds individual boxes or multi-carton bundles with even containment force - locking flat-packs together with zero edge damage and eliminating expensive outer packaging.
The Logistics Bottleneck: High-Volume Stack Compression & Footprint Constraints
Freshly glued corrugated boxes trap air and swell, creating loose stacks that easily topple. At the same time, fulfillment centers and box plants need automated packaging systems that can fit into tight footprints without disrupting existing conveyor lines.
The Solution: Automated Top Compression & Enterprise Line Integration. Designed to easily slot into inline packaging lines, the Dynawrap series acts as a smart node on your factory floor. Utilizing flexible enterprise PLC architectures (Beijer, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Beckhoff), the machine connects via EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or native OPC UA servers. It executes direct string-based data exchanges with your WMS to process production orders and automatically trigger downstream labeling systems. Simultaneously, synchronized pneumatic top-pressers expel trapped air while pre-stretch carriages apply tensioned film, and MQTT telemetry streams real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics directly to your cloud.
The Scale Bottleneck: Wide-Format Flat-Packs & Variable Ring Sizing
Packaging plants manufacturing large-format Gaylord boxes, appliance cartons, or bulk corrugated sheets routinely exceed the width capacities of compact wrappers, forcing operators to resort to slow manual wrapping.
The Solution: Scalable Ring Sizing (15″ to 85″+ Clearance). Whether you need compact orbital box wrappers or heavy enterprise systems, the massive Dynawrap Pro 2200 handles oversized payloads in continuous production environments. Featuring an 85.4-inch internal ring clearance, it accepts the widest folded cartons directly from folder-gluer lines, utilizing an automatic film clamp, cut, and wrap cycle with 4-side or 6-side encapsulation.
Enterprise Automation: Dynawrap LUMI™ 3D Algorithmic Vision
Achieve true recipe-free autonomy on mixed-bundle production lines. Available as an option across the Pro Series, the LUMI™ System utilizes an Intel® depth-sensing 3D camera and a dedicated embedded controller.
Volumetric Scanning
As corrugated stacks of varying heights and widths enter the zone, the system executes real-time 3D scanning to determine the exact bundle geometry.
Automated PLC Handshake
Our proprietary algorithm automatically calculates and pushes the optimal wrapping parameters directly to the machine's PLC.
Zero-Touch Operation
Operators simply select 'Optimum' or 'Heavy' protection modes on the HMI, and the machine handles the rest - preventing crushed cardboard perfectly.
Industry 4.0 Ready: Robotic Cell & Label System Integration
Engineered for absolute end-of-line autonomy. Our wrappers serve as plug-and-play nodes for highly automated packaging plants, supporting direct handshakes with FANUC, ABB, and KUKA robots, as well as downstream label systems integration.
Native SCADA Protocols
Seamless communication via EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, and MQTT for centralized ERP/WMS data exchange and telemetry logging.
Automated Handshakes
Standardized execution I/O (Ready, Start, Busy, Complete, Fault) allowing upstream robotic palletizers to safely load and trigger wrapping cycles.
Predictive Maintenance
Stream real-time VFD faults, motor speeds, heater temperatures, and cycle counts directly to command centers to eliminate unplanned downtime.
Safety & Ergonomics
CIP Safety and PROFIsafe network integration, paired with collaborative safety sensors, fully enclosed rings, and hardwired optical light curtains for zero-touch operational security.
Packaging Consumables Ecosystem
Corrugated box manufacturers demand flawlessly transparent film. Logistics teams must be able to scan barcodes and read printed carton specifications directly through multiple layers of wrap. Our premium Cast Clear Machine Stretch Film delivers ultra-high optical clarity while maintaining the extreme holding force required to keep flat-packs from sliding during transit.
To protect proprietary retail packaging designs from theft or unauthorized viewing during LTL freight shipping, we also supply Opaque Black Security Stretch Film to completely obscure your corrugated bundles.
Technical FAQ: Corrugated Box & Carton Wrapping
How does the orbital wrapping process eliminate the edge-crush defects typically caused by plastic strapping on corrugated flat-packs?
The orbital ring applies distributed stretch film tension across a wide web surface area rather than relying on concentrated point-loads. This wraps individual e-commerce cartons and bulk corrugated stacks with even containment force, fully locking the bundle together without cutting into the cardboard edges.
How does the packaging cell stabilize tall stacks of freshly glued folded cartons that trap air and are highly prone to toppling?
The wrappers utilize synchronized pneumatic top-pressers that safely compress the stack and expel trapped air just prior to film application. Because the load remains completely stationary on the conveyor while the ring rotates around it, the machine unitizes these unstable bundles without inducing any centrifugal force or lateral shifting.
Can the wrapper integrate directly off high-speed folder-gluer lines and synchronize with downstream labeling systems?
Yes. Designed for continuous production environments, the system utilizes enterprise PLCs (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or Beckhoff) to interface seamlessly via EtherNet/IP or PROFINET. It accepts string-based data from your WMS to process bundle parameters and executes standard I/O handshakes to trigger inline barcode print-and-apply systems automatically.
What EHS provisions are active when automating the packaging of oversized corrugated sheets or wide-format appliance cartons?
For wide-format payloads, heavy-duty units like the Pro 2200 (featuring an 85.4-inch clearance) utilize fully enclosed rotating rings and collaborative safety sensors. The entire automation cell acts as an autonomous node using CIP Safety and PROFIsafe network protocols, combined with hardwired optical light curtains to ensure zero-touch, fail-safe operation.
