Shipping & Packaging
Shipping and packaging equipment helps secure products for handling, storage, and transport while supporting consistent end-of-line operations. Solutions from Cyklop and IME Automation are used to bundle, stabilize, and protect cartons, pallets, and individual items through strapping, wrapping, and related packaging processes. By improving load stability and packaging consistency, these systems can help reduce product damage, limit rework, and support smoother distribution workflows across industrial and commercial supply chains.
Strapping systems apply steel or plastic strapping to keep packages tightly bound during shipment. Common components include automatic box strapping machines for repeatable, high-throughput carton strapping, portable strapping tools for flexible workstation use, and related accessories that support operation, maintenance, and integration into packaging lines. System selection typically depends on package size, throughput requirements, strap type, and the level of automation required.
In addition to strapping, many packaging lines use stretch wrapping machines to apply film around pallet loads for added protection against shifting, dust, and moisture. Packaging workflows may also incorporate case taping, banding, and labeling equipment to improve consistency and identification across shipments. Standardizing equipment and consumables helps support repeatable packaging results and efficient material handling across facilities.
FAQs
Q: What are strapping systems used for in shipping and packaging?
Strapping systems apply plastic or steel straps around cartons, bundles, or pallets to stabilize loads, prevent shifting, and help reduce damage during handling and transport.
Q: What is the difference between manual and automated strapping equipment?
Manual strapping tools are typically used for lower-volume applications and portable use, while automated strapping machines are designed for higher throughput and repeatable strapping cycles in packaging lines.
Q: What does a stretch wrapping machine do?
Stretch wrapping machines apply protective film around palletized loads to help keep products stable, reduce load movement, and provide protection from dust and moisture during shipment and storage.
Q: What industries commonly use Cyklop packaging systems?
Cyklop packaging equipment is commonly used in manufacturing, logistics, distribution centers, food processing, and other high-throughput environments that require reliable end-of-line packaging.
Q: What other equipment is used alongside strapping and wrapping systems?
Packaging lines may also include case tapers, banding systems, and labeling equipment to support carton sealing, bundling, identification, and shipment preparation.
