... the method of placing [a] product into corrugated shipping containers.

CONT

This can be accomplished by the very fundamental method of hand loading or by semiautomatic or automatic case-loading machinery... Cases, whether manually or automatically loaded, are classified as top-, side-or end-load. The top-load case has flaps in the largest panel and is the most expensive because of the large flap area. An end-load case, with flaps on the smallest panel, is the least expensive... The... basic case-loading methods are... : hand loading; horizontal semiautomatic case loading; horizontal fully automatic case loading; vertical drop-load and gripper-style case loading; wraparound case loading; and tray former/loader.

OBS

In French, the equivalent "encaissage" refers to packing into all kinds of cases, althogh corrugated containers are now widely used.

French

Domaine(s)

Action de mettre en caisse.

OBS

Il est à noter que de nos jours en emballage, l'encaissage se rapporte surtout à la mise sous carton ondulé.

OBS

On peut procéder, soit par encaissage latéral de la charge, soit par encaissage par descente et poussée, soit encore par encaissage par le fond lorsque l'on part d'une caisse à rabats pliée-collée et développée pour son remplissage.

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging in Paperboard
CONT

[Case packing. ] The wraparound concept is that of the "tighpack" case, literally meaning that the products are packed very tightly in the case.... The operation of the wraparound packer is somewhat like that of side-load case packers. The product feeds by conveyor, and is staged into case loads. At the same time, a case blank is indexed from the magazine into loading position. The product load is transferred onto the case blank, and the case is folded around the load. Adhesive is applied to the flaps and they are folded to seal the case.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Emballages en carton
DEF

Machine travaillant à partir d'une découpe de carton offrant la possibilité d'emballages formés autour des produits.

CONT

En technique wrap-around (...) les produits sont tout d'abord accumulés à l'entrée de la machine puis ordonnés en lots. Ce lot, une fois constitué, est transféré dans un système de chargement (...) En wrap-around vertical, une découpe carton est positionnée au-dessus des puits de conformation, puis le lot est déposé mécaniquement sur la découpe. L'ensemble découpe/lot est alors descendu dans le puits où s'effectue la mise en forme et le pliage des rabats verticaux. Ensuite, sont effectuées les opérations de pliage des rabats horizontaux, de taquage et de pressage (...) Beaucoup de machines de mise sous carton exploitent le procédé d'encollage par adhésif thermo-fusible (hot-melt), la fermeture pouvant s'effectuer également par ruban auto-adhésif.

OBS

En dépit de son nom anglais, la technique du "wrap-around" est d'origine française.

The chief advantage of the wraparound case is corrugated savings. Conceivably, a full wraparound case can save a packager up to 25 per cent of the corrugated needed for a comparable RSC.
