Wrap-around packaging
What is a wrap-around?
A wrap-around is an innovative packaging solution in which the product is enclosed by a flat corrugated cardboard pre-cut. The pre-cut is folded and glued around the product during the packaging process. Wrap-arounds are customised to perfectly fit the shape and size of the product. This creates reliable and stable packaging that protects the product from impacts, scratches and other damage during transportation and storage.
Wrap-around packaging is widely used in various industry sectors, including the food, beverage and other consumer goods industries. The term wrap-around describes the critical step of enclosing and wrapping the product during the packaging process.
Sometimes wrap-around packaging has a tear perforation. This pre-punched line makes the packaging easy and clean to open as it is simply opened by tearing along this line. A tear perforation is particularly useful in the retail sector as it is a convenient way to open packaging without additional tools such as scissors or knives. This not only improves handling, but also minimises the risk of injury when it is opened.
