Classification of Packaging Machinery
Apr 28, 2026
Packaging machinery can be divided into pre-packaging machinery, packaging machinery, and post-packaging machinery. Furthermore, based on function and packaging materials, it can be further divided into several specific types:
1. Carton Processing Machinery:
Corrugated board production line, slitting and cutting machines, splicing machines, gluing machines, adhesive applicators, dryers, cross-cutting machines, slitting machines, die-cutting machines, laminating machines, stapling machines, printing presses, corrugated rollers, anilox rollers, cutting tools, adhesive pads
2. Flexible Packaging Processing Machinery:
Blown film machine, casting machine, coating machine, laminating machine, vertical filling packaging machine, horizontal filling packaging machine
3. Color Box Processing Machinery:
Color box die-cutting machine, gluing machine, strapping machine 1. Paper cutter, varnishing machine, hot stamping machine, laminating machine
4. Printing equipment:
Proofing machine, pre-printing machine, printing press, printing slotting machine
5. Packaging machinery:
Filling machine, sealing machine, filling and sealing machine, aseptic filling machine, inkjet coding machine, laser coding machine, heat transfer coding machine, labeling machine, sleeve labeling machine, sealing packaging equipment, heat shrink packaging machine, tape sealing machine, cartoning equipment, boxing equipment
6. Other machinery:
Automated control, testing equipment
The packaging process includes main processes such as filling, wrapping, and sealing, as well as related pre- and post-processes such as cleaning, stacking, and unpacking. In addition, packaging also includes processes such as measurement or stamping on the packaged items. Using mechanical packaging can improve productivity, reduce labor intensity, meet the needs of large-scale production, and satisfy hygiene requirements. Packaging machinery can be classified in various ways. Packaging machines can be categorized by function into single-function and multi-function machines; by purpose into inner packaging and outer packaging machines; by type of packaging into general-purpose packaging machines; and by level of automation into semi-automatic and fully automatic machines, etc.
