MATERIAL SAVINGS
Aagard's unique Wrap Around Sleevers help you create a two-for-one shelf presentation that leverages the visual effect of the primary product package and a Wrap Around Sleeve. Visually highlight the consumed product in its primary package and a paperboard sleeve that presents label graphics, product features, and use instructions. Aagard Sleevers are designed to secure a flat, die-cut paperboard sleeve around various products in patterns that include stacked, double inverted, loose, with or without divider or layer pads. Sleeves provide shelf impact and material savings vs. cartoned products. Incoming products can be delivered in balanced or unbalanced lanes, randomly or back-to-back are collated in various ways depending on product type and package design.
WRAP AROUND SLEEVER
& CASE PACKER

NEMA 4X Stainless steel washdown construction throughout
-
Intermittent motion operation with multiple sleeves per cycle allows high throughput with a small footprint and slow, gentle cycle rate
-
Multiple case magazine lanes allow significant capacity in a small space
-
Vacuum belt sleeve advance allows for flexibility in sleeve design while maintaining positive handling
-
Dual gantry cup robots allow simultaneous picking from the infeed conveyors with integrated stacking during transfer into sleeves
-
Perpendicular transfers and servo powered sleeve forming devices allow for a squarely formed sleeve with a much tighter wrap than traditional inline sleevers
-
Extensive recovery features like automatic sleeve replacement for minimal downtime and operator intervention
-
Integrated case pack pattern collation simplifies case packer infeed
-
Flexible case packer allows multiple case format (wrap-around, harness, or tray) on the same machine via a changeover
