Texwrap’s shrink packaging expertise spans decades for canning solutions - working with large and small operations throughout the food and beverage industries.
Ranging from regional producers needing medium speed capability, to the largest national brands requiring extreme high-speed custom solutions. Regardless of the speed required, Texwrap’s heavy duty and reliable shrink packaging systems can improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, increase production and better utilize your operating space. The quality and durability of Texwrap equipment provides the lowest total cost of ownership available in the market today.
In the ever-changing canning industry, companies have had to adjust to evolving consumer demands and trends while maintaining production. Many have turned to automation to combat the shortage of skilled labor as well. As trends of sustainability, functionality, convenience and health consciousness drive SKU expansion to these already burdened lines, suppliers seek trusted, experienced packaging automation vendors.
SEAMLESS FILLER-TO-WRAPPER INTEGRATION
Keep your line moving directly off the canning filler or tray loader without losing container stability. Texwrap systems lock in upright product control to transition raw cans, jars, and tins smoothly into tight, retail-ready bundles. Whether running clean bullseye openings or full-containment wraps, our inline wrappers eliminate line bottlenecks and protect container integrity at speeds up to 60 cycles per minute.
VERSATILE MULTIPACK CONFIGURATIONS
Adapt quickly to shifting club-store demands and changing food packaging formats on a single line. Texwrap machinery processes everything from bulk pantry staples and pet food tins to glass jars and specialty sauce bottles. Run unsupported packs to cut material costs, or switch effortlessly to corrugated pad-backed and trayed configurations using adaptable side-infeed and orbital sealing technologies.
MATERIAL SAVINGS & CODE MANAGEMENT
Optimize film consumption and eliminate retail scanning errors on multi-unit packs. Precise servo-driven tension controls prevent film distortion, reduce scrap, and ensure clean alignment for print-registered film. For trayless club-store multipacks, specialized infeed units automatically conceal individual product barcodes beneath the film, printing or placing a single, accurate master barcode for seamless checkout.
Trayless Multipacking and Barcode Masking for Pet Food Cans
Cans of pet food are shrink-bundled into club-store and retail multipacks on a T-200 Series side-infeed bundler, which unitizes like products (including cans, jars, and bottles) without trays in a range of put-ups, using plain or printed shrink film. Texwrap's video library shows a T-200 bundler running cans of dog food. The T-220-60 can hide individual can barcodes and print one scannable code for the finished multipack. For pet-food pouches or bags instead of cans, an off-set in-line multipacker bundles them into five-packs on a servo-driven line.
Machine: T-220-60 / T-200 Series side-infeed bundler; off-set in-line multipacker (300 Series) for bags/pouches
Proven applications: cans of dog food (T-Series bundler video), pet-food bags in 5-packs (off-set multipacker video)
Film: clear shrink film; retail barcode to single multipack code
Versatile Pack Formats: Unsupported, Corrugated Pad, and Full Tray
Canned goods can be bundled in film only, on corrugated pads, or in trays, with the open "bullseye" ends typical of shrink-bundled packs. No full enclosure is needed. On the SRX series, pick the model to match the put-up: SRX-CUF bundles loose product in film with no pad or tray, SRX-CTP tray-packs loose product, and SRX-CTF/LTF bundle product already in trays. Match it to how the cans ship and merchandise. Skipping the tray cuts material cost where the bundle needs no rigid base.
Machines: SRX (single-roll bundler): CUF (unsupported), CTP (loose in tray), CTF/LTF (pre-trayed)
Pack Formats: unsupported bullseye, corrugated pad, full tray
Guidance: see Texwrap's shrink wrapping vs. shrink bundling guide for when a bullseye opening is enough
No matter how you go to market Texwrap shrink wrappers and shrink bundlers provide solutions for the wine & spirits industries that cover the gamut of unsupported and supported multipacks.
Speed, versatility, and vertical conveyance allows these machines to be used directly off the filler, while product is standing upright. Multipacks can be collated and shrink wrapped immediately to keep them clean and unitized for shipping. The top seal eliminates side seams leaving printed film looking pristine, or for labeled products precise high speed orientation and print registration options ensure consistent retail-ready presentation.
Integration with numerous infeeds, timing screw infeeds, lane dividers, and more allow you to quickly adjust to different pack patterns and Sku's, while the servo orbital-motion sealing head dramatically increases throughput.
F.A.Q: Frequently Asked Questions On Our Canning Solutions
What machine bundles cans of pet food into multipacks? A Texwrap Tekkra side-infeed bundler unitizes cans of pet food into club-store and retail multipacks using plain or printed shrink film, without requiring trays; the Tekkra 220-60 can also obscure individual can barcodes and generate a single scannable code for the finished multipack. Texwrap's video library shows a Tekkra bundler running cans of dog food.
How do you shrink-bundle cans of soup, vegetables, or fruit? Canned foods are collated and shrink-bundled into trays or multipacks on the DX-130 dual-roll inline bundler, which runs up to 25 cycles per minute using 1.5–3.0 mil clear LDPE bundling film, the same setup Texwrap uses to bundle cans of green beans. For higher rates, the SRX Series bundles cans in trays or unsupported at up to 60 cycles per minute.
Can you bundle canned goods without a tray? Yes. The SRX-CUF model bundles loose cans in film with no supporting pad or tray, producing the open bullseye ends typical of shrink bundling, while CTP, CTF, and LTF variants handle loose-in-tray and pre-trayed product, so you match the put-up to how the cans ship and merchandise.
How do you shrink-wrap sauce or condiment bottles? Sauce and condiment bottles are shrink-wrapped into fully enclosed retail units on the TLS 3322 L-seal system, which wraps up to 50 pieces per minute with the proper infeed; Texwrap's video library shows the 3322 wrapping hot sauce.
What speeds can canned-food bundling run at? The DX-130 runs up to 25 cycles per minute, the SRX up to 60 cycles per minute (SRX-LTF up to 35), and the TLS 3322 wraps up to 50 pieces per minute with the proper infeed. Actual throughput depends on can size, pack count, and film.
What shrink film should I use for canned foods vs. pet food cans vs. sauce bottles? [TEXWRAP TO CONFIRM: highest-priority gap] Answer-engine testing shows "what film" is the #1 sub-question buyers and LLMs ask, and Texwrap doesn't fully answer it on-page. One published anchor exists: the DX-130 runs 1.5–3.0 mil clear low-density polyethylene (LDPE) bundling film. This FAQ should extend that to a per-application recommendation: clear vs. print-registered film for retail graphics, gauge by can weight and pack count (heavier canned-food bundles vs. lighter pet-food or sauce packs), and film family (LDPE/PE for bundling vs. polyolefin for high-clarity full wraps). Texwrap to confirm the specific films and gauges it recommends per canned-food pack. Publishing this is how the page wins the informational queries competitors currently own.
