Sleeve wrapping requires efficiency and reliability. With the automatic sleeve wrappers you will work safely and quickly. The IMBAL XP and US category of sleeve wrappers adapt to various specifications of formats and packaging with cardboard trays or from bulk products. Made in Italy, they are the best solution for wrapping various types of products with recyclable films, including bottles, cans, boxes, trays, bottles, jars, hand gel jars. Perfect for the most varied market sectors: beverages, canning, chemicals, wines, spirits, cosmetics, detergents, wood, textiles, graphics, etc.
Food: Advantages include the creation of solid and compact groupings for bottles, jars, and cans (multipacks), significantly cutting the weight and logistical costs of corrugated cardboard. The disadvantage is that the side openings of the bundle leave the product partially exposed to dust, and the thick film is often less elegant for individual shelf display. The Imbal Stock solution: to obtain a fully closed and brilliant premium package for individual products, or to use pure paper, we suggest opting for a total shrink wrap or a pillow bag.
Cosmetics: The main advantage is the great reliability in grouping batches of shower gel, shampoo, or generic products, creating stable blocks perfect for B2B transport and warehouse storage. The disadvantage is the incompatibility of high heat and thick film with luxury products, which require delicacy and impeccable aesthetics. The Imbal Stock solution: to eliminate thermal stress on high-end serums or to create an invisible “second skin” seal on perfumes, the ideal choice is direct insertion into a box or the use of a shrink wrap with calibrated airflows.
Pharma: Advantages translate into an unmatched solution for packaging and stabilizing large quantities of heavy bottles (such as syrups or saline solutions) intended for hospital distribution. The disadvantage emerges when a sterile airtight barrier is required or when handling thermolabile drugs, as the standard bundle is not hermetically sealed and requires prolonged heat. The Imbal Stock solution: to protect individual sterile medical devices or sensitive active ingredients, we recommend a cold-sealed geometric pillow bag or protective insertion inside rigid boxes.
Pet Food: Advantages offer the absolute solution for grouping heavy cans, tins, or trays of wet food in 4, 6, or 12-piece formats, guaranteeing excellent mechanical strength when lifted without the risk of breakage. The disadvantage is that this type of film is not suitable for primary packaging in direct contact with bulk and greasy foods. The Imbal Stock solution: to directly bag bulk kibble or snacks, guaranteeing an odor barrier and structural seal, the most reliable technical response is the creation of a vertical bag.
Fresh Food: The great advantage is its usefulness in secondary logistics, allowing you to solidly join multiple rigid trays of already packaged fresh products to facilitate shipping to supermarkets. The disadvantage is the impossibility of using the bundle as primary packaging, lacking the airtightness necessary for protective gases. The Imbal solution: for direct contact with fresh foods and to extend shelf-life using Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), the mandatory route is an airtight pillow bag or the use of a sealed tray.
Technical Articles: Among the advantages stands out the unbeatable ability to firmly lock heavy, bulky, or irregular items (wooden panels, metal profiles, car parts) using highly tear-resistant, extra-thick polyethylene. The disadvantage is that this system is oversized and impractical for containing small hardware or very small, loose metal components. The Imbal Stock solution: to quickly and accurately bag small loose elements like screws or gaskets, the use of a horizontal or vertical pillow bag represents the most economical and functional option.
