Streamlining End-of-Line Packaging
Why modern production lines demand secondary packaging automation.
In today’s highly competitive industrial landscape, manual case packing is a significant bottleneck that limits productivity and drives up operational costs. As primary packaging speeds for sachets, stick packs, pouches, and bottles reach unprecedented levels, relying on manual labor to erect, pack, and seal shipping cartons is no longer viable.
As premier global automatic case packer manufacturers, we design systems that bridge the gap between primary packaging and logistics. Our automatic case packers are built to handle complex collation patterns, guarantee product integrity, and operate continuously under demanding industrial environments.
“Automating your secondary packaging line reduces labor dependencies by up to 85% while ensuring consistent, damage-free transport box preparation.”

View DetailsChoosing the Right Case Packing Technology
Compare case loading configurations to find the optimal solution for your production demands.
Depending on your product’s packaging format (sachets, stand-up bags, rigid bottles, or cartoned items), the method of loading products into shipping boxes varies. Selecting the correct loading mechanism prevents mechanical stress on the primary package and optimizes the footprint of your packaging room.
| Case Packer Type | Loading Direction | Typical Applications | Max Speed (Cases/Min) | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top-Load Case Packer | Vertical (Gravity or Pick-and-Place) | Flexible pouches, stick packs, bags, medical kits | Up to 30 cpm | Gentle product handling via delta robots or vacuum grippers. |
| Side-Load Case Packer | Horizontal Push | Cartons, rigid boxes, rectangular containers | Up to 25 cpm | Extremely compact footprint, highly reliable mechanical pusher logic. |
| Wrap-Around Case Packer | Folded around product group | Bottles, cans, jars, high-volume food containers | Up to 45 cpm | Minimizes cardboard usage, creates ultra-tight, stackable shipping units. |
| Bottom-Load Case Packer | Vertical (Lift from bottom) | Fragile glass bottles, heavy containers, cosmetics | Up to 15 cpm | Zero drop distance, eliminating risk of breakage for heavy/delicate items. |
Engineering Excellence: How Our Case Packers Work
A step-by-step breakdown of the automation sequence inside our packaging systems.
Case Erecting & Bottom Sealing
Flat cardboard blanks are pulled from the magazine using heavy-duty vacuum suction cups. The machine square-erects the case and seals the bottom flaps with either high-grade adhesive tape or hot-melt glue, establishing a rigid structure for loading.
Product Infeed & Collation
Products arrive from the primary packaging machines (e.g., sachet fillers) via smart conveyors. Our servo-driven collation system counts, stacks, and groups the products into the exact matrix pattern requested by the operator on the HMI screen.
Loading & Top Sealing
The collated product pack is loaded into the case (via top, side, or bottom loading). Once filled, the top flaps are folded, sealed securely, and the completed case is discharged to the palletizing station, verified by our integrated checkweighers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about automatic case packing machinery.
What types of products can your automatic case packers handle?
Our case packing systems are highly versatile. We custom-engineer product collation infeeds to manage flexible packaging formats (sachets, stick packs, gusseted stand-up pouches), rigid packaging formats (bottles, jars, cans), and secondary packaging units like cartoned items.
How long does a tool-less changeover take between different box sizes?
Most of our modern case packers feature rapid, tool-less changeover mechanisms. By adjusting handwheels with digital position indicators and selecting the pre-configured product recipe on the HMI touchscreen, operators can complete a full size changeover in under 15 minutes.
Can your case packers integrate with our existing primary packaging line?
Yes. Ludyway case packers are designed with open-architecture PLC systems (primarily Siemens or Allen-Bradley) and standard communication protocols (EtherNet/IP, Profinet). This allows seamless synchronization with upstream multi-lane stick pack machines or downstream palletizing robots.
What sealing methods are available for the shipping cases?
We offer two primary options based on your distribution requirements: high-speed hot-melt glue systems (using Nordson applicators for strong, tamper-evident seals) or standard adhesive tape sealing units. Hybrid configurations can also be built upon request.
What inspection systems are integrated for quality control?
To ensure zero-error shipments, our lines can be equipped with checkweighers (rejecting underweight/overweight boxes), vision sensor cameras (confirming flap alignment and barcode readability), and open-flap detection sensors.
How does Ludyway support global customers with installation and maintenance?
We provide comprehensive global support, including remote diagnostics via secure VPN connections, pre-shipment FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) validation, detailed video manuals, and on-site commissioning services by our international field service engineers.
